Grand Canyon South & East Rim: Driving & Walking Audio Tour

Witness one of the natural wonders of the world in all its glory. The Grand Canyon is so massive, so awe-inspiring, that you simply have to see it with your own two eyes to truly understand its scale. This self-guided tour takes you to all the best vistas and hiking trails on the canyon’s South Rim and fills you in on the fascinating history of the canyon and the Native people who once lived there. So get out there and see something incredible! Hermit Road isn't accessible by private vehicle during the summer.

Q&A

Q: Is there a limit on how many people can join the tour since it's per car?

A: Yes! The tour is priced per car, so you can bring as many people as your vehicle can legally fit. Just keep in mind that it's designed for easy listening, so having too many people might make it hard to hear the narration. Ideal for families, but if you're in a full car, consider bringing headphones for a better experience!

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Is there a lot of walking involved?

A: Good question! Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes since you’ll be doing some walking along the South Rim. Layer your clothes as it can get chilly in the morning and warm up in the afternoon. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat—you're going to be exposed to a lot of sun while you're out there!

Q: How do I handle parking? Is it hard to find a spot?

A: Parking can be a bit tricky, especially during peak summer months. You'll want to park at stop 15 as instructed. From there, you'll walk to stops 16-22, and then take the shuttle for the rest. Just make sure to arrive early to secure a good spot—there's a lot going on and spaces fill up fast!

Just did the Grand Canyon Audio Tour and it blew my mind!

Wow, this tour was amazing! We took it last weekend and the views were just breathtaking. The audio guide was super informative, especially about the history of the Native peoples. Definitely recommend starting early; we parked at stop 15 and walked to enjoy the views. It felt really personal because we set our own pace. Can't wait to go back!

Thinking of gifting the Grand Canyon tour! Anyone tried it?

I'm looking at this audio tour for my friend's birthday. They love nature and history, plus it’s super affordable! I’m a bit worried about the walking part since they aren’t in the best shape. Any tips on how to make it easier for them?
