Please dress casually and comfortably. We highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes, which are appropriate for walking. Although the tours are not strenuous, not all walkways are paved. Please avoid wearing shoes that have slick bottoms, such as dress shoes. Tennis shoes, hiking boots, or sports type footwear is best.
Please keep in mind that the South Rim is approximately 20 degrees cooler than Las Vegas; whereas, the West Rim is slightly warmer than Las Vegas.
Summer months:
We recommend wearing a hat and/or sunglasses, as it tends to be hot and bright in the desert sun.
Winter months:
We recommend bringing a jacket or rain poncho. Many customers also bring gloves or a scarf when during the colder months.
Thank you for your inquiry. - Customer Service Rep. www.tours4fun.com

If you want weather information about a specific date, please check the following weather website for detailed information:
All passengers must have a government issued valid photo identification card, such as a state driver’s license, or a passport for check-in service at the airport.
We highly recommend all passengers bring or purchase a bottle of water to bring with them while on tour. Most people that are not used to the desert region will need additional water, as the weather is drier than most are used
Most people that visit the Grand Canyon fly into either McCarren airport in Las Vegas or to the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. However, both of these airports are more than 200 miles away from the Grand Canyon.
There is a Grand Canyon National Park airport; however, it is usually utilized only by tour companies that provide Grand Canyon air tours (such as ours) or by private aircraft.
The only way to fly to this airport is to join a tour similar to the ones we offer or purchase a private flight to the Grand Canyon National Park airport.
