Las Vegas Bus & Minivan Tours

Book this tour it is amazing. The landscapes are breathtaking . One of the most beautiful places if w er seen.

Carlos was an amazing tour guide for the duration of our tour, very friendly with us and very accommodating. I would book again next time I am in vegas.

The Death Valley Tour from Las Vegas was unforgettable for all the right reasons! Raphael, our guide was amazing. He was friendly and accommodating from start to finish with extensive knowledge of the areas visited. Raphael knew all the best spots to get those iconic photos and was more than obliging in taking pictures of people in the group. We started off being picked up from the Luxor and after a quick stop at Treasure Island we were on our way. First stop was the Area 51 Alien Centre. It’s a glorified rest stop that sells overpriced Tee Shirts and alien merchandise but it was great fun taking photos and browsing what they had on offer. Raphael was on hand to take photos and offer information about Areas 51 and the surrounding areas. Next stop was Beatty, that sits not far from Death Valley National Park. Here we were able to see the Exchange Club Casino, a beautiful steampunk building that is the brainchild of artist James Henniger. It’s a work-in-progress and is absolutely beautiful. Built using reclaimed materials from nearby Rhyolite ghost town. You really do have to stand back and take in the details of this amazing building! From Beatty we drove to Rhyolite, an abandoned gold mining camp right on the edge of Death Valley. There we saw the remains of the school. bank, various offices and the saloon. This is where you can see the famous Tom Kelly bottle house built from roughly 50,000 beer and liquor bottles in 1906. It’s a genuine example and not a replica like the one at Calico. Next stop was Death Valley itself. As we entered the park the landscape became less and less hospitable. We stopped at the sign to get some photos and then drove to the Harmony Borax works where Raphael explained the mining process and the twenty-mule teams that were used to pull the carriages out of the mines. On to Furnace creek visitor centre for a photo next to the famous thermometer and a look around the nicely air conditioned shop and information centre where you can learn about the conditions, landscape and wildlife that live in the valley. A mile further down the road we stopped at The Death Valley Ranch, a luxurious oasis resort in the desert. Here we had around 45 minutes to get some lunch, an ice cream, browse the shop and museum and enjoy the lovely well groomed Californian resort. From The Ranch we drove south to Badwater Basin. This was the highlight of the trip for me. The otherworldly landscape is incredible. As you step out onto the salt flats and feel the overwhelming heat reflecting back, it’s a surreal moment. Don’t forget to look back towards the cliff to see the sea level marker high above you to really appreciate how far below sea level this place really is. A word of warning, do not stay out more than 5 or 10 minutes. Take you photos and retreat back to the air conditioning of your vehicle. The heat gets seriously dangerous in a very short time. From there we doubled back a bit and drove to Zabrinski point. A short hike up the hill on a well maintained path and this beautful badlands vista opens up before you with its gorgeous pastel colours and undulating terrain. Raphael advised on the best vantage points and angles to take the most impressive photos. Zabrinski point was the final stop on our tour and from there we returned back to Las Vegas via Death Valley Junction and through Pahrump. Raphael chatted and imparted information all the way as we drove.I would highly recommend this tour however, there are a few things to consider. It is a long day. In order to get the most out of it you need to be reasonably able bodied. There is a lot of getting in and out of the minibus with short hikes to some of the locations and the heat in August was brutal. I imagine Spring and Autumn are fantastic times to take this tour. You can view the locations from the minibus if you are not up to the extreme condition’s but I would recommend getting out at least for a couple of minutes to experience it. Take water. Plenty of it. There are restrooms at every stop (except Beatty and Rhyolite) but bare in mind that they have composting ‘desert’ toilets so take a small hand sanitizer in your backpack. There are fully serviced restrooms at Area 51 Alien Centre and Furnace Creek.These are no way negatives and, in my opinion, add to the authenticity of the desert experience. I just want people to be prepared so they know what to expect and can fully embrace it all.An absolutely unforgettable experience. Thanks Raphael for looking after us.

Wil was a great guide. We learned a lot. Great scenery.

Fantastic experience at Grand Canyon with professional driver / guide Taka who was very knowledgeable and provided water throughout the day and plenty of stops to visit restrooms and get refreshments. Myself and the family thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip and some good bonus stops at Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam view from Arizona side was breathtaking as were the views at Guano Point and Eagle Point at the Grand Canyon. Lunch also included was excellent value for money and an unforgettable experience. Thank you Taka and the team - highly recommend.

Great excursion with our guide Matthew. He explained a lot to us and took the time to show us everything at a leisurely pace. He also took some great photos of us. We had extreme heat that day, and Matthew provided us with plenty of water. We felt very well taken care of and can definitely recommend this trip 👍

Mr. Joel Clark is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable about the history of USA. Provided great information and driving is very safe.

This was one of the highlights of our weekend in Vegas. We got into some great pool parties, met a lot of people, and didn't have to worry about planning anything. The whole experience felt pretty seamless from start to finish.

Went with a friend and honestly had a better time than expected. The group was social, the pools were packed with good energy, and the hosts did a good job keeping everyone together. I'd definitely do it again on a future Vegas trip.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Another Side of Vegas Tours and our incredible tour guide, Jimmy Vegas! Our day trip from Las Vegas to Hoover Dam and Valley of Fire was unforgettable from start to finish. Jimmy was so knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and accommodating — he made us feel comfortable the entire day and truly went above and beyond to make the experience special.Not only did we learn so much and see breathtaking sights, but we also had so many laughs along the way. And the pictures Jimmy took for us were INCREDIBLE! It felt like having a personal photographer and tour guide all in one.This tour was worth every penny for such a fun, personal, and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend Another Side of Vegas Tours and especially Jimmy Vegas if you want a memorable adventure while visiting Las Vegas!

Brandon was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and interesting the whole tour. We highly recommend the tour and Brandon.

Our guide, Ruben made the biggest difference. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and always tried to make sure we were comfortable. Even though he drove long distances, he never showed any sign of exhaustion. His energy, knowledge, and care made the whole journey feel safe and enjoyable.

What a fantastic tour of Las Vegas Mania Tours this is. Accompanied by our fine guide Ruben we drove past very beautiful places in this region: we saw beautiful views in Zion NP and also walked to a very beautiful place with a view, we descended into a gorge in Bryce Canyon (and walked up again), we saw a playful place called The Belly of the Dragon, walked through Antelope Canyon together with a guide of the Navajos and saw the spectacular shapes and light, Horseshoe bend showed a totally different landscape and the grand finale were the stops at the Gran Canyon where you can also enter the museum. I haven't mentioned everything yet. Ruben accompanied us very nicely during this tour and gave us practical information but also information about the landscape, culture and community, flora and fauna and was also a nice guest with humor. We had a great time. Highly recommended if you want to see the highlights of this region in a short time. Thank you Ruben and Las Vegas Mania Tours!

We had a great time on the West Rim bus tour from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon West. The views were incredible and walking on the Grand Canyon Skywalk was an unforgettable experience. Everything was well organized and the guide was friendly. I definitely recommend this tour!

Great tour guide. This tour guide was really friendly and did an amazing job showing us around.

My family had a great time and enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide Tim was warm and friendly, helped us take photos and he drives smoothly. The Death Valley have really good views and it is the best place for hikers.
