An excellent trip very well organised. Despite leaving Las Vegas in an August heat wave the temperature was very manageable with a sun hat and clothing and air-conditioned bus and plentiful supplies of chilled drinks and snacks always available. The sites are stupendous in their own right and we crammed in as much as is possible in three days! Ken our guide was always willing to go the extra mile including taking us out to try stargazing one evening helping out with lost cards et cetera taking photos and stopping off for brief extra viewing points en route. Information provided was good and response to questions was prompt before the trip. I highly recommend this three day Grand Canyon tour.

Our tour guide, Justin, was extremely attentive and professional. From the beginning to the end of the trip, he carefully looked after every traveler’s needs and did his best to provide assistance, making everyone feel well cared for and at ease.

He thoughtfully prepared information about the lunch and dinner restaurants, including menus and special highlights, allowing us to not only enjoy the beautiful scenery but also experience the local cuisine. In addition, he specially arranged an extra stargazing session, which added an unforgettable memory to the journey.

The two-day, one-night itinerary was very smoothly organized, with perfect timing throughout, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. We are truly grateful for Justin’s hard work and long hours of driving, while still continuously ensuring the safety and comfort of every passenger.

This was a truly memorable trip. Thank you, Justin, for your dedication and care, which made this such a wonderful experience!

Beautiful Death Valley This is full days excursion, mid morning pickup and a very late drop off.
The transport is comfortable with good air conditioning and has lots of water, sodas and snacks onboard.

Our guide for the day was Jeff, another fantastic guide and driver, he was also really knowledgeable about Death Valley. It takes about 2 hours to get to the outskirts of the park, stopping at gas stations to use the restrooms.

We went to the visitor centre where we found out more information about the valley and had a short video. We visited different points throughout the park for photo opportunities, the Inn at Death Valley which is a fantastic hotel in the middle of an oasis, and the shops at Furnace creek.

We traveled to Dante’s point for the star gazing. We stayed for a while taking shots of the sky, it was windy and the temperature turned cooler going down to 66 degrees from 112 during the day. The journey home took about 3 hours and was after midnight when we returned to Vegas.

Death Valley is amazing, beautiful scenery and a beautiful sky full of stars. We didn’t see the Milky Way but it didn’t spoil the trip. It’s a pity we didn’t see Dante’s point in the day light as the photos on the net are out of this world.

Our trip to Death Valley with Max Tours was absolutely incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Corey. From start to finish, Corey was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She made the entire experience feel seamless and fun, sharing fascinating insights about the landscape, history, and hidden gems along the way.

Death Valley itself is stunning, but having a guide like Corey truly elevated the experience. SHe made sure everyone was comfortable, kept the energy up, and went above and beyond to make the day memorable. You can tell she really cares about her guests having a great time.

If you’re considering a tour, I can’t recommend Max Tours enough—especially if you get Corey as your guide. It was an unforgettable experience!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with MaxTour on our trip to Death Valley! The booking experience was simple and straight forward and the vehicle was very comfortable, even in 100 degree weather.

From the very beginning, the convenience stood out—they picked us up directly from our hotel instead of making us travel to a central meeting point (or a nearby hotel). That small detail made a big difference, especially when traveling with family.

Our tour guide, Corey, was outstanding. She struck the perfect balance between being informative and giving us time to simply enjoy the scenery. Her knowledge of the area added so much to the experience, but she never overdid it with constant talking—something we really appreciated.

What truly stood out was how thoughtful Corey was in tailoring the experience for our group. Traveling with an 11-year-old, we were especially grateful that she kept all commentary completely PG. Her overview of Las Vegas history was engaging, age-appropriate, and avoided the more questionable aspects often associated with the city. It made the tour comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.

We also never felt rushed at any stop, yet Corey kept everything running smoothly and on schedule—a rare and impressive balance.

The small group setting made the entire experience feel more personal and relaxed, allowing us to fully take in the beauty of Death Valley without feeling like just another face in a crowd.

Overall, this was a top-notch tour from start to finish. Highly recommend MaxTour—and if you can, ask for Corey!

PS: She was a fantastic tour photographer!
