Las Vegas Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam Tour

Experience the magnificent Grand Canyon with an expert local who knows every inch of one of the Natural Wonders of the World. Together we will explore the Joshua Tree Forest, Eagle Point, Guano Point and see things that will live in your heart forever.
I am a retired history teacher, a travel writer, and an expert tour guide who loves Las Vegas and all of the wonders surrounding this beautiful city - Named the Best Local Tour Guide in the Las Vegas Guide 2023!

I love sharing the little secrets that others never know. Where once minors dug to make money - in Bat Guano! And see how decades ago men traveled on sky cars a mile above the canyon floor.

I love telling the stories that others never hear. The car that flew off the side of the canyon to crash far below - still laying rusting away today because it is too dangerous to retrieve.

Your tour is intimate and at your leisure. As a fully licensed, insured and private guide all of my tours can be customized for you.
