Las Vegas 3-day Ultimate Southwest small group tour — 4.8 from 81 reviews
It does not go to Four Corners Monument. Nothing on the platform does. The marker is a self-drive stop costing US$8 per person at the gate, with no advance ticket of any kind — that argument in full is on do you need tickets.
The contradiction: ten happy reviews, none about the bill
The operator itself prices the things it leaves out: Lower Antelope Canyon at US$87 and the Monument Valley Navajo tour at US$75, and it states the mechanism that catches international readers hardest — visitors aged 16 or over who are not US residents need a US$250 non-resident annual park pass. Add those to US$649.99 and the poster price and the till receipt are US$412 apart. That arithmetic is laid out on the cost page.
Ten reviewers, several of them plainly not American, and the additional costs appear in none of their reviews. Neither does the cancellation term, which closes 18 days before departure rather than the platform’s usual 24 hours — nearly three weeks, and the single most expensive line of small print on this page. Reviews are written by people who already paid. They are not a pricing audit and they should not be read as one.
“It was a great experience to be able to see all these canyons. It was an incredibly unique trip and experience. I can definitely recommend it.”
“Leslie our driver was amazing she gave us so much information about what we where seeing and she was really nice with us. The trip was perfectly organised we saw everything I wanted to discover it was beautiful.”
“Excellent tour.. you see so much in such a short time. Plenty of time at each stop. The van was comfortable, plenty of cold drinks and snacks on hand. Extremely well organized. Don’t hesitate to book this.”
A five-star review that is only a complaint
The clearest example on the whole site of the star and the sentence measuring different things. Laurent’s review, in full, five stars:
“Comfort on the bus (no USB outlets and not much space).”
“I can recommend this tour with a clear conscience. We had a wonderful time. Our guide, Scott, took excellent care of us. He took care of every request and gave us the best tips. The hotel was great. The provision of water and snacks was excellent. In the heat, you should drink a lot, but don’t worry, there were also plenty of bathroom breaks. We had plenty of time in the parks. Thank you so much for the wonderful 3 days!”
“The trip was a great success. We saw beautiful natural places in the USA. The weather at the turn of August/September was really good. I recommend it! It’s a group trip, so you don’t know who you’ll be with. But our driver-guide was super C’J - efficient, fast, enough places to rest/toilet. Snacks on the go and planned meals are great too.”
Marne calls the van comfortable and Laurent says there is not much space. Both are five-star. Both are describing 14 people in a van for three days, and which one you agree with will depend on where you sat.
Adam is worth reading twice for a different reason: “It’s a group trip, so you don’t know who you’ll be with.” That is the honest summary of every multi-day product on this site.
What works
- 81 reviews, the second-largest base here, and the ten I hold are uniformly warm
- Cheapest of the four Las Vegas multi-day trips at US$649.99
- Small group capped at 14, with hotel pickup and drop-off
- Two nights’ hotel, four meals and drinks included; reviewers repeatedly mention the water and snacks
Worth knowing
- Non-US residents aged 16+ need a US$250 annual park pass, and no review mentions it
- Lower Antelope Canyon US$87 and the Monument Valley Navajo tour US$75 are extra
- Cancellation closes 18 days ahead, not 24 hours
- One five-star reviewer says there is “not much space” on the bus
- Las Vegas is about 448 road miles from the marker — a different holiday, not a day trip
If you are not a US resident, add the US$250 pass to the headline before you compare these four Las Vegas trips against each other. It is the largest single hidden cost on this site, it applies from age 16, and only one of the four operators spells out the mechanism — which does not mean the other three do not charge it.
The widget above carries the platform’s standard “free cancellation up to 24 hours” line. That is not this product: cancellation on this tour closes 18 days ahead, nearly three weeks. Read the window on the product page before the price.

Frequently asked questions
Does the 3-day Ultimate Southwest tour go to Four Corners?
No. It runs the Las Vegas circuit — the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon country — and Las Vegas is about 448 road miles from Four Corners Monument. No tour on the platform visits the marker.
What is not included in the US$649.99?
The operator’s own figures: Lower Antelope Canyon US$87 and the Monument Valley Navajo tour US$75. Separately, visitors aged 16 and over who are not US residents need a US$250 non-resident annual park pass. None of the ten reviews I hold mentions any of it.
When can I cancel?
18 days before departure, not the 24 hours most people assume from the platform default. Of the eight products on this site, this one has the longest cancellation window, so read it before you read the price.
Is 4.8 from 81 reviews a good rating?
It is the second-best supported score here, behind the 4.8 from 279 on the three-day Zion trip. The ten quotes I can read are all five-star, which means the reviews pulling it below 5.0 are ones I cannot see.
