New York Central Park Bike Tour
New York

This guided bike tour is an efficient, easygoing way to see Central Park in a couple of hours. You’ll cover far more ground than on foot, stop regularly at key landmarks, and hear the stories that give the park its character, all without feeling rushed. Stretching for more than 50 city blocks through the middle of Manhattan, Central Park is where locals escape the noise, films find their backdrops, and life seems to take on a different mood from the busy streets.

On this guided ride, you’ll follow quiet paths and broad avenues through the park’s best-known corners and some of its quieter ones too. You’ll cycle beneath the American elms of the Literary Walk, a grand promenade named for the statues of writers that line it and is often used in films and period dramas. You’ll stop at Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, the architectural heart of the park, set beside the lake where classic rowing boats glide past and street musicians often fill the space with sound. Nearby, Sheep Meadow offers one of Central Park’s most famous views, a wide green lawn framed by Manhattan’s skyline and a favourite spot for picnics and people-watching.

The route also loops around the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, a calm, open stretch of water encircled by a running path, with long views that show just how dramatically the city rises around the park. One of the more reflective stops is Strawberry Fields, the John Lennon Memorial, located near the building where he lived. It’s a peaceful corner of the park, often accompanied by music and the occasional singalong, and a reminder of how closely Central Park is woven into modern culture.

Days 4-6

Las Vegas

Arrive in Vegas after a six-hour flight from New York. Las Vegas may be famous for its glittering casinos, high-end hotels, and non-stop entertainment, but it’s also the perfect base to explore the Grand Canyon. Whether you're looking to hit the jackpot, catch a show, simply soak up the atmosphere, or take a chopper over the Hoover Dam, Las Vegas is the ultimate destination for glamour and drama. Depart the Las Vegas Strip on a helicopter tour over the iconic Hoover Dam, catching panoramic views of Lake Mead and the Mojave Desert as you head toward the Grand Canyon. After flying into the Grand Canyon, the helicopter will descend and land 3,500 feet below the rim. Champagne and light snacks will be served 300 feet above the mighty Colorado River atop a private bluff deep within this natural wonder. You'll finish your adventure with an exciting flight over The Strip.

Big Bus Las Vegas Hop-on Hop-off Tour - 2 Day Ticket
Las Vegas

Catch all the unmissable Las Vegas sights on a hop-on, hop-off bus tour. The routes are designed to take you to all of Las Vegas's famous landmarks, and your ticket is valid for two days. There are conveniently located bus stops to visit Las Vegas's top attractions, including Caesar's Palace, the Bellagio and The High Roller. It gives you the freedom to plan an itinerary and explore the best of Las Vegas's landmarks for as little or as long as you like, then hop on again when you're ready to move on.

As dusk falls, the city comes to life. Take in dancing fountains and erupting volcanoes as you travel the Las Vegas Strip. The tour leads you past casinos, wedding chapels, and historic landmarks before you enter downtown. Take a brief guided walking tour, then immerse yourself in a spectacle of live entertainment, street artists, costumed entertainers, and the famous Fremont Street Light and Sound show.

Bright Lights City Tour
Las Vegas

This early evening tour is an easy, guided way to see Las Vegas after dark. You’ll travel around the city in an open-air Pink Jeep Wrangler, stop at several of its most recognisable landmarks, and finish with a ride on the High Roller observation wheel. It’s relaxed rather than rushed, and it works well if you want an overview of the city at night without committing your entire evening to it.

The tour kicks off with a stop at the famous Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign. From there, you’ll cruise past a mix of classic and curious sights, including the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, familiar to anyone who’s ever dipped into Pawn Stars. As you roll along Wedding Chapel Row, keep an eye out for couples mid-celebration.

Next comes downtown Las Vegas, including the Arts District and Fremont Street, the city’s original heart. Once the first paved road in town, Fremont is now a four-block spectacle of light and sound, with a huge LED canopy overhead and zipliners cutting through the glow. It’s loud, unapologetic, and very Vegas, with plenty of stories attached.

You’ll then stop at the Las Vegas Sphere, the city’s newest headline act. With its fully programmable LED exterior, it’s less a building and more a giant digital mood ring. To round things off, you’ll take a ride on the High Roller observation wheel at The LINQ. Rising 550 feet above the Strip, it offers expansive views over the city, from the Bellagio fountains to the long sweep of hotels stretching into the distance.

Grand Canyon South Rim Tour
Las Vegas

This is a full-day private tour from Las Vegas to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, designed to give you time to enjoy the viewpoints rather than rush you through them. You’ll travel in a purpose-built touring vehicle with a dedicated guide, explore several key stops along the rim on foot, and return to Las Vegas in the evening. It’s a long day on the road, but one that’s paced to make the distance worthwhile.

You’re picked up from your Las Vegas hotel in the morning and set off across the Mojave Desert. The drive takes about 4 to 4.5 hours each way, broken up by scenic stops and commentary. You follow sections of historic Route 66, passing wide-open desert landscapes and traces of the old Santa Fe Railway while your guide shares context about the region’s history, wildlife and early travellers. As you climb onto the Coconino Plateau, the scenery shifts to cooler air, pine forest, and mountain views. Your first stop is Mather Point, one of the most expansive viewpoints on the South Rim. This is where the canyon's scale really lands, with sweeping views stretching across the gorge and the North Rim visible on clear days.

From here, you’ll walk a short section of the Trail of Time to Yavapai Point, stopping at the Yavapai Geology Museum. Built right on the edge of the rim, the museum uses panoramic windows and clear displays to explain how the canyon was formed and to help you read the layers spread out before you. Next, you’ll head to Grand Canyon Village, the historic heart of the South Rim. This area developed in the early 1900s to support railway travellers and is now home to some of the park’s most characterful buildings. You’ll stop at Bright Angel Lodge, a stone-and-timber landmark sitting just feet from the canyon’s edge, with time for lunch and a wander. There’s a small history room, gift shop, and even a classic soda fountain and ice cream counter if that feels earned by this point.

Before beginning the return drive to Las Vegas, you’ll stop at a local trading post showcasing art, jewellery, and crafts made by Native American artisans. Breakfast, snacks, a picnic lunch, bottled water, and all park entrance fees are included, so the day runs smoothly from start to finish. It’s a long drive, but a thoughtfully paced one, and you’ll return to Las Vegas feeling like you’ve genuinely spent time at the Grand Canyon.

Hoover Dam Top to Bottom
Las Vegas

This full-day tour from Las Vegas takes you through the Hoover Dam from every angle. You’ll float below it on the Colorado River, walk across the top, and head inside the powerhouse to see how it actually works. It’s a practical, well-paced day that combines engineering, history and time outdoors.

Before reaching the dam, you’ll pass through Boulder City, built in the early 1930s to house the thousands of workers who constructed Hoover Dam during the Great Depression. Unlike Las Vegas, it still has an old-school feel, and it plays a significant role in the story of how the dam came together under extraordinary conditions.

At Hoover Dam Lodge, you’ll have time to look through historic photographs before boarding a shuttle to the Colorado River. From there, you’ll take a gentle 90-minute float through Black Canyon, starting at the base of the dam. From the water level, the scale of the structure becomes very real, with sheer concrete walls, dramatic canyon cliffs, and a rare view back towards the dam’s spillways.

After the river trip, you’ll stop for a picnic lunch and a photo stop on the Arizona side of the dam, before heading up to the top. Standing more than 700 feet tall, Hoover Dam still supplies power and water across Nevada, Arizona, and California, and walking across it gives you time to take in both the engineering and the setting. You’ll then head inside for a guided tour of the Hoover Dam Power Plant.
