Our search of the Viator catalog for Las Vegas produced a pool of 298 products. This list keeps 11 of them, each rated 4.7 or higher with at least 100 reviews.

The list spans nine formats, from a food walk on the Strip to a desert ATV ride, a kayak paddle, a self-drive through Red Rock, an illusion show, a helicopter flight, a wine day and a supercar track.
Start with the comparison table, then read the cards that match your budget and your energy level.
Why Choosing a Las Vegas Tour Takes More Than Reading Ratings
A list of star ratings leaves out most of what a visitor needs before paying. Three things matter before you book: what the price covers for your group, whether your date has a departure, and what happens if your plans change.
Starting points differ. The day trip and the helicopter flight include hotel pickup. The ATV ride leaves from a pickup point in the Mandalay Bay Tour and Travel Lobby, the kayak shuttle from the Mandalay Bay valet area, and the limo from the Treasure Island casino. The wine tasting meets in a parking lot marked Harley-Davidson, and the supercar track is about 20 minutes south of the Strip, so plan your own transport for those.
The canyon dominates the catalog. The search pool is dominated by Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Valley of Fire tours. This list keeps two Grand Canyon West products, the day trip and the helicopter flight over the same rim. For the South and West rims in depth, read our Grand Canyon South and West rim guide. For day trips that are not on this list, see our best day trips from Las Vegas guide.
One fact changes how to read the Hoover Dam stop. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation publishes an official Hoover Dam page, consulted on November 5, 2026, which says Hoover Dam tour tickets are currently unavailable. The stop on the West Rim day trip is a photo stop on the Memorial Bridge, not a guided tour of the dam.

Prices and availability from the Viator partner API on November 5, 2026, for November 19, 2026 to January 17, 2027; they can change.
Price is per adult for two travelers, so a couple pays twice the figure shown. « Open days » counts the days in the 60-day window on which the tour has at least one departure. Ratings are the combined Viator and TripAdvisor averages returned by the partner API.
We kept tours rated 4.7 or higher with at least 100 reviews, which left 86 of the 298 products. We then chose 11 across nine formats. One private Valley of Fire hike passed the rating test but had no departure in the window, so we replaced it with the Red Rock Canyon self-drive, which has departures on 59 of the 60 days.
The 11 Best-Rated Las Vegas Tours, Format by Format
1. Grand Canyon West, Hoover Dam Stop, Breakfast, Lunch & Skywalk
This is the most-reviewed tour in the list, and the day trip to book if you want the Grand Canyon West rim without driving yourself. The day lasts about 10.5 hours, and the listing asks you to confirm your pickup location with the operator at least 48 hours before the tour. The coach has panoramic windows and a bathroom, and the made-to-order breakfast is served at a restaurant on the way. A helicopter flight can be added as an option when you book; it is not included by default. For the rim in depth, see our Grand Canyon South and West rim guide. This card suits a first visit that needs one long day.
- Luxury coach with panoramic windows and a bathroom on board
- Made-to-order breakfast at a restaurant on the way, and a photo stop at the Hoover Dam Memorial Bridge
- Gratuities not included; the Skywalk ticket is an optional extra
2. Half-Day Mojave Desert ATV Ride
A half-day desert ride lasting 4 hours, at $105 per adult, with all sales final. Helmets, goggles and gloves are provided, and the roundtrip transport leaves from a pickup point in the Mandalay Bay Tour and Travel Lobby, where pickup times vary. If you drive to the meeting point, the listing charges $20 for parking Monday to Thursday and $25 Friday to Sunday, which a ride-share avoids. It suits couples and friends who want physical activity on a first day. Because the sale is final, a cancellation brings no refund, so book once your date is fixed.
- Helmet, goggles and gloves provided, with a guided ATV tour
- Roundtrip transport from the Mandalay Bay pickup point
- All sales final, and gratuities not included
3. Strip or Downtown Food Walk with Celebrity Chef Restaurants
A three-hour food walk for a group that wants to eat through an evening rather than drive. You choose the Strip route when you book, which starts at the Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill inside Caesars Palace and visits restaurants run by celebrity chefs, or the Downtown route. The tastings include shrimp cocktail, Korean-style tacos, handmade gelato or sorbet, and crispy eggplant parmesan. With 1,928 reviews, it ranks sixth of the 11 by review count.
- Several tastings across the route, from gelato to pub bites
- Strip or Downtown route, chosen at booking
- Drinks beyond those listed, transportation and gratuities not included
4. ARTE Museum Immersive Digital Art
The lowest-priced ticket on the list, at $55 to $60 per adult. The visit takes 60 to 90 minutes at ARTE Museum on Las Vegas Boulevard South, and the ticket covers admission only, with coffee and tea extra. The tour has a departure on 27 of the 60 days in our window, so check the date before you plan around it. All sales are final. It works as a short visit between two heavier days, or as the budget choice of the trip.
- Admission included
- Departures on 27 of the 60 days in the window
- Coffee and tea extra, all sales final
5. Giant Shopping Cart Limo Ride on the Strip
A one-hour tour of the Strip in a giant shopping cart, at $85 per adult, with free cancellation. The cart seats seven and is powered by a 400-horsepower engine. Bottled water is included, with light blankets in winter. The pickup is at the Treasure Island casino, next to the rideshare area, and the listing warns that arriving three minutes late can mean missing the ride. Hotel pickup and gratuities are not included. Confirmation is partly manual, and the tour has a departure on 37 of the 60 days in our window.
- Seven seats and a 400-horsepower engine
- Bottled water included, light blankets in winter

Choose the shuttle from the Mandalay Bay valet area at 9:00 a.m., or drive yourself and meet at Willow Beach at 10:00 a.m. If you meet at the launch site, National Park charges $25 per vehicle.

A GPS-guided audio tour covers the history, geology and wildlife of the canyon, and the listing includes recommended photo stops. Pickup is inside the Electric Vegas Rentals office, marked by a large yellow sign. The park entrance is not included, and the operator places a credit card hold at pickup that is released when the vehicle comes back undamaged. Recreation.gov hosts a timed-entry reservation page for Red Rock; we have not confirmed whether it applies to a winter visit, so check it before you go.
- Two-seat electric vehicle with roof, trunk and heated seats
- GPS-guided audio tour included
- Park entrance not included, credit card hold at pickup
8. Now You See Me Live at the MGM Grand Theater
A theater show rather than a tour, so the calendar comes first. The U.S. premiere runs at the MGM Grand Theater from October 15, 2026, through January 5, 2027, and the tour has a departure on 40 of the 60 days in our window. Confirmation is manual, so the supplier confirms your seats by hand. Bring a government-issued photo ID. Seating opens one hour before the show, and guests must be seated 15 minutes before the start, or seats cannot be guaranteed. Beverages, parking and valet are extra.
- Run dates from October 15, 2026, to January 5, 2027
- Photo ID required, seating from one hour before
- Manual confirmation, beverages and parking extra
9. Grand Canyon West Helicopter Flight from Las Vegas
The premium option on the list, at $529 to $549 per adult. The 90-minute helicopter tour flies through Grand Canyon West, and the price includes hotel pickup and drop-off and all taxes and fees. You must call 5 Star Helicopter Tours at least 24 hours before your tour to confirm your pickup time, and the number is on the listing. Passengers weighing between 250 and 375 pounds must buy an additional seat, paid directly to the operator. Gratuities are not included. For the same canyon from the ground, see the day trip in card 1 and our Grand Canyon South and West rim guide.

10. Pahrump Wine Tasting with Food
The calmest afternoon on the list, with the highest rating here, 4.96, though from 158 reviews, a smaller sample than the other cards. A private van takes you to two wineries, one of them Charleston Peak Winery, for nine wines in total. Caprese bites and truffle chips are served at the first winery, and a charcuterie board and cheese pizza at the second. Five snack bags, bottled water and a souvenir wine glass are included. Pickup and drop-off are at the same meeting point, a parking lot marked Harley-Davidson. Hotel pickup and gratuities are not included.

A two-hour driving experience on a track at SpeedVegas Motorsports Park, about 20 minutes south of the Strip, at $299 per adult. The package sets five or ten laps depending on the option you select. We read a price of $299 per adult, and the lap package should be checked at booking. You choose from the cars on offer, and helmets are included. Snacks and drinks are extra, and gratuities are optional. Hotel pickup is not included, so you need your own ride there and back. With 3,061 reviews, it has the fourth-highest review count on the list.
- Five or ten laps, depending on the package
- Helmets and a choice of cars included
- Hotel pickup, snacks and drinks not included
Before You Book
Four tours have a departure on fewer than 45 of the 60 days in our window: the ARTE museum (27 days), the limo ride (37), the Now You See Me show (40) and the wine tasting (42). Pick your dates first, then choose among the tours that run on them. The show’s run ends on January 5, 2027.
Every price in this list is per adult for a two-traveler booking, and the median is $105. A couple pays twice the figure shown, so the helicopter flight alone costs $1,058 to $1,098 for two. Parking, drinks and gratuities are often extra and vary by tour, so read each listing before you compare two tours side by side.
Two tours include hotel pickup: the day trip and the helicopter flight. For the ATV ride, parking at the Mandalay Bay meeting point costs $20 Monday to Thursday and $25 Friday to Sunday if you drive. The kayak’s $25 National Park fee per vehicle applies only when you meet at the launch site.
Local Tips for Your Days in Las Vegas
Early starts and confirmation calls matter most. The day trip asks you to confirm your pickup location with the operator at least 48 hours before the tour, and the helicopter needs a call at least 24 hours before your flight. The kayak shuttle from Mandalay Bay meets at 9:00 a.m., so set your alarm the night before.
Some tours need an action at the door, not only a payment: the show, the Red Rock self-drive and the limo each have one, and the cards give the details. Write each one on the calendar next to your flight time.
Frequently Asked Questions

The Red Rock Canyon self-drive follows at 4.95 from 305 reviews, and the Grand Canyon West day trip has the most reviews, 13,924, at 4.85.

How much do the best Las Vegas tours cost per person?
Prices run from $55 per adult for the ARTE museum visit to $549 per adult for the helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon West rim. The median across the 11 tours is $105 per adult. These figures come from a two-adult booking in the window from November 19, 2026 to January 17, 2027. Parking, drinks, snacks and gratuities are often extra, so read the listing before you add up the total for your group.
Which Las Vegas tours offer free cancellation?
Nine of the 11 tours offer free cancellation. On those listings, the terms give a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure. The two final-sale tours are the Mojave Desert ATV ride ($105) and the ARTE museum visit ($55 to $60). Check the terms on the listing you choose before you pay.
Do I need to reserve the Now You See Me show ahead of time?
Reserve once your dates are fixed. Confirmation for the show is manual, so the supplier confirms your seats by hand rather than instantly. The run ends on January 5, 2027, and the listing shows departures on 40 of the 60 days we checked. Bring a government-issued photo ID, and be seated 15 minutes before the start, because seats cannot be guaranteed after that.
