The Grand Canyon, located in Grand Canyon National Park, is an incredible, inconceivable abyss, formed from layer upon layer of different rocks, easily distinguished by colour. Each layer contains clues to the past with its own fossil record. The formation of the canyon has yet to be conclusively determined, with experts unable to agree exactly how it came to exist as it is. The canyon is over a mile deep, ranges from 4 to 18 miles (6 to 30 kilometres) in width and is 277 miles (446 kilometres) long.

View tour details >Most visitors to the Grand Canyon head to the South Rim - it is the easiest part of the canyon to access and home to Grand Canyon Village. The views from the South Rim are as spectacular as anywhere else at the canyon. For an even greater understanding of the awesome size of the Grand Canyon, flights are available that allow you to see far more than you can from the ground at the South Rim.
Excellent tour. Great breadth of experience. Well organised. Good city tours. We were given time on our own to explore different cities.
Lived up to 'premium' expectations. Well organised and managed. Group size just right. Good balance between organised and free time. Fantastic hotels - quality and location.
very well organised and great value for money.tour guide Chris was fab,didnt intrude too much but told us what we needed to know.hotels very good quality,loved not having to deal with our suitcases and all the coach drivers we had were really good,especially Tom who took us up and down the mountain in the snow safe and sound.Denver and thd Rockies were disappointing,would have liked to have stayed jn Chicagoi longer instead.hated the sleeper compartment, would have preferred to have slept in a normal seat,they were far comfier but apart from that, everything else was amazing,would definately travel with you again and recommend you.

Fabulous and so well organised. Every day was great and we like that there is thought given to including enough free time in each place. We like Great Rail Journeys very much having done two this year! We had Peter as our Tour Manager and he looked after us all brilliantly! He certainly made all the travel very smooth and easy. Thanks go to him. Great area to enjoy. Thoroughly recommended.
