Nevada: Tours & Tickets

This trip packs a lot into a 3 day itinerary. The national parks are spectacular and definitely worth seeing. However they are spaced pretty far apart so you end up spending at least 3-6 hours per day in the van. Our guide did a good job of keeping us entertained in the van and also planned rest stops every 2 hours to break up the travel. There are several opportunities to go hiking but most of the hiking is optional (except for the Grand canyon rim walk - an easy 1h walk). If you are looking for an intensive hiking experience you won't have enough time. Day 1 included about 3 hours to hike in Zion and 2 hours in Bryce, which is not enough to do the Angels Landing hike if that's your thing. Day 2 did not include any time for hiking and was more for sightseeing. On day 3 we had 3 hours to hike the grand canyon. About half the people chose camping, and the other half a hotel. Hotel accommodations were good.

Andrew did a very good job providing history of the area and then the Hoover Dam. He answered questions very knowledgeably and kept the tour moving along at a proper pace. Unfortunately, the central focus of the tour-going down into the dam to see the inner workings-was aborted because of an elevator failure. This failure occurred some time before the tour commenced, so I feel that PinkJeep should have texted me this info in time for me to cancel the tour and get a refund. They did provide a token 5% refund after.

I was the only one to sign up for the early-in-the-morning intense tour and the company was still very accommodating because I could not switch to a different tour. The hike was tailored to what I wanted to do/see and we packed a lot of great sights in. My tour guide, Antonio, was very knowledgable and funny and could answer any questions I had about wildlife, plants, etc. I would highly recommend this tour!

The combination helicopter, boat ride, and Skywalk was AWESOME!!! We regret that due to some missteps by staff at the helicopter starting base, we lost 1-1/2 hours of our 4-hour time allotment and missed the opportunity to see Guano Point and the Halupai Ranch and missed getting lunch (all included in the price we paid) but what we were able to see/do was fabulous and well worth the cost.

Jack was our guide on the Red Canyon tour. He picked us up at the hotel and the whole journey was fun & entertaining. He was very knowledgeable about current affairs, the historical & geographical information regarding Red Rock Canyon and rest of America. He made the tour informative but entertaining. Highly recommended Tour Guide.
