1 Day Tour at Valley of Fire and Zion Park

Overview

Spend the day exploring the wilderness and natural landscapes of Zion National Park and the Desert of Fire on this day trip from Las Vegas.
Start your day heading north into Zion park. Enjoy the majesty of the mountains and the silence of the wilderness. Enjoy a tour of the area and a short walking trail along the Virgin river that runs through the park.
As you begin to make your way back to Las Vegas, stop for a lunch break and then visit the “Valley of Fire,” Nevada’s first and most scenic state park.

This is not a decent hiking tour. The time at Zion was 2 hours only as compared to 3 hours stop over mentioned in the tour . Total tour time was around 10 hours not 11-12 hours. My tour didn't take us into the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive, but to the Zion Mount Carmel Highway into the Tunnels. You DONT get to see the Temple of Sinawava or Narrows,(tour details pictures are misleading) as only Park shuttles were going in. If it had been a 3 hour stop over at Zion, it would be possible to ride inside, but it was 2 hour in total and I was asked for 1 hour to tracking of Parus Trail along virgin river. The guide Irene, told me that I can fill water bottles with freshwater in the river, however, it was alerted, on Park's website the visitor map they hand over at the Park's entrance, "Harmful Algae bloom" Do not drink water from river (which is unusual). Thanks god I didn't drink it. On our way to Valley of Fire, we stopped over at McDonald, which was a pathetic choice by tour guide. The visit to valley of fire was also limited to certain spots only and a walk next to visitor center, we didn't take any trail. This tour is way over-priced and over valued. It should not be more than $90 pp at max than $189. It gave a good introduction to both parks. I would rather rent a car and stay close to Zion for 2 days, than a trip from Vegas.

Hi Bilal! Thank you for your review. As you stated, this is an excellent introduction to both parks. Our tours are not advertised as intense hiking tours as this is not a service we provide. For experienced hikers it is best to explore the park on your own without the limitations of a group tour. For the average traveler we focus on well known viewpoints and light hiking trails that allow people of any fitness level to enjoy the park. Thank you for traveling with us, we would be happy to host you again. Stephanie Empire Vacations

I loved the beautiful scenery of Zion National Park and the unique features of Valley of Fire State Park. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made funny jokes. The driver was nice and made sure we had a safe journey.
