14-Hour Small Group, Lunch

A 14-hour small group tour of Bryce and Zion from Las Vegas.

Overview

This day tour from Las Vegas bundles two national parks into a single 14-hour outing, with hotel pickup and drop-off included and a maximum of 14 travellers on board. You ride in an air-conditioned SUV or mini-coach with a professional driver and guide. Breakfast snacks and a boxed lunch are provided, along with bottled water, so the food side of the day is largely handled.

The route heads first to Zion National Park, where you spend about two hours, including a stop at the Zion Canyon Visitor Center. From there the tour continues to Bryce Canyon National Park for another two hours, with time at Bryce Point, Inspiration Point and Sunset Point, half an hour each. Entrance fees for both parks are included for the tour itself, though non-U.S. residents should note an additional national park entrance fee of USD 100.00 per person may apply, collected in destination rather than at booking.

It suits travellers who want both parks in one long day from Las Vegas and who accept that much of the day is spent on the road. Reviewers repeatedly describe it as a long day that they still considered worthwhile, with plenty of photo stops and a guide who shares history and geology along the way. It is not wheelchair accessible.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this day goes, from the altitude at Bryce to the lunch order you place when booking.

• Order lunch ahead. You choose your sandwich or salad in the Special Requirements field when booking: ham, turkey, deluxe turkey, Italian, veggie, or a garden salad with vinaigrette. Reviewers mention the lunch, snacks and water as part of the day. The listing asks for this preference at the time of booking.
• Prepare for altitude. The listing states the tour reaches over 8,000 ft. Reviewers also report snow at Bryce in colder months, with some even walking on it. Dress in warm layers in winter and take it easy at the rim if you are not used to elevation.
• A long day on the road. The tour runs 14 hours and reviewers are consistent that it involves a lot of driving. They also say it felt worth it, with plenty of stops along the way. Bring something to pass the time between parks.
• Photos and free time. Reviewers often mention photo stops at the scenic points and plenty of time to soak in the scenery. One said the guide chose particularly good spots for photography. Keep your camera within easy reach rather than buried in a bag.
• Small group mix. The vehicle carries a maximum of 14 travellers. Water, snacks and lunch are supplied on board.
• Weather can change plans. Snow has caused the Bryce portion to be cancelled on some departures, with extra time spent in Zion instead. The tour requires good weather, and if it is cancelled for that reason you are offered a different date or a full refund. Go in knowing the itinerary can shift.

Common issues. Snow has led to the Bryce portion being cancelled on some departures, with the day shifting to more time in Zion. The tour also needs a minimum number of participants to run, and if that minimum is not met you will be offered another date or a full refund. It is a 14-hour day with a lot of driving, it is not wheelchair accessible, and non-U.S. residents may owe an additional national park entrance fee of USD 100.00 per person, collected in destination. Gratuities are not included.
