If you are interested in exploring the Grand Canyon but don't want to go through the hassle of hiking and/or camping, then a bus tour might be the right choice for you. Of all the different sightseeing options offered in and about Grand Canyon National Park, bus tours are some of the most popular. Whether you are traveling with a large party or on a solo expedition, a bus tour is an entertaining and cost effective way to get the most from your trip.
The Ups and Downs of Grand Canyon Bus Tours
There are many reasons for why bus tours are such a popular option for exploring Grand Canyon National Park. For one, bus tours are very cost effective. Depending on the length of the tour and the number of people participating, bus excursions can cost as little as $30. Another reason that bus tours are so popular is because they can accommodate large groups of people. Unlike helicopters and/or airplanes which can only hold a handful of travelers, buses can carry several dozen.
The downfall of Grand Canyon bus tours is that they offer only peripheral views of the canyon. Unlike helicopter tours which can cover vast amounts of land in short amounts of time, bus tours are restricted to paved roads. What's more, bus tours tend to take up a great deal of time. On the upside, however, bus tours allow for pit stops and photo opportunities that other tours do not.
If you are interested in participating in a Grand Canyon bus tour, I recommend that you make your reservations far in advance. During the summer months especially, bus tours tend to fill up quickly. In addition, make sure that the charter company you choose hosts a fleet luxury buses (not minivans) for their tours. Also make sure that the buses are air conditioned and provide restrooms.
