The Parks of the West in 8 Days

This tour is conducted exclusively in Italian

The Great West is the ideal tour to discover the most iconic landscapes of the American West in one week, with an Italian-speaking guide, superior first-class hotels and 6 included meals in addition to a daily buffet breakfast.

The journey begins in Los Angeles with a tour of Hollywood, the Walk of Fame and Downtown, then crosses the Mojave Desert with a stop at the Calico ghost town before reaching the lights of Las Vegas.

The heart of the tour is its great parks: the Grand Canyon, one of the natural wonders of the world; Monument Valley, the backdrop of classic western movies; the spectacular Antelope Canyon X with its plays of light; and the amphitheater of hoodoos at Bryce Canyon. You then return to Las Vegas for a final night in “Sin City” before heading back to Los Angeles.

Admissions to the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon X, Monument Valley and Calico are included. The tour combines perfectly with our The Great East for a coast-to-coast journey.

Day-by-day itinerary - Hotel - Extras

Day 1 – Los Angeles

Arrive at Los Angeles International Airport and take the hotel’s complimentary shuttle to your airport-area hotel. To find it, go up to the departures level and follow the red “Hotel & Courtesy Shuttles” signs; outside, board at the “Hotel & Private Parking Shuttle” stop. If you need help, an assistant is available on Mondays from 12:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). From 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, your tour guide is available in the hotel lobby (Hospitality Desk). Overnight.

Day 2 – Los Angeles

American buffet breakfast. At 8:15 am, enjoy a half-day city tour. Founded by Mexican settlers, Los Angeles is today a multi-ethnic metropolis with communities from over 140 countries, and its charm is tied above all to the movies: the famous Hollywood sign, Hollywood Boulevard with the Walk of Fame and its more than 2,000 stars, and Downtown with Olvera Street and its early-19th-century houses. Lunch included in Hollywood. The tour ends in Hollywood: the coach does not return to the hotel but continues with the optional “Los Angeles by the Beach” excursion to Santa Monica and the beaches. Afternoon at leisure. Overnight.

Day 3 – Los Angeles → Calico → Las Vegas (268 miles / 432 km)

American buffet breakfast. At 8:15 am, depart from the hotel with an Italian-speaking guide. Stop at Calico Ghost Town, born with the silver mines of the Wild West. Lunch on the road. Arrive in Las Vegas. In the evening, join the optional “Lights and Sounds” tour of the city’s dazzling lights. Overnight.

Day 4 – Las Vegas → Grand Canyon → Williams (335 miles / 540 km)

American breakfast. Depart for the Grand Canyon, one of the natural wonders of the world: an immense gorge carved by the Colorado River, nearly 280 miles long, over a mile deep and from a third of a mile to 18 miles wide. Standing before it, words simply fail. Continue to Williams, on historic Route 66. Buffet dinner and overnight.

Day 5 – Grand Canyon → Monument Valley → Page (286 miles / 460 km)

Buffet breakfast. Head to Monument Valley in the Navajo Nation: rock pinnacles and red sandstone buttes rising on the horizon, the setting of countless westerns, from John Ford’s “Stagecoach” to Tom Hanks’ famous run in “Forrest Gump.” Optional jeep tour available. Continue to Page. Dinner and overnight.

Day 6 – Page → Antelope Canyon X → Bryce Canyon (169 miles / 272 km)

Buffet breakfast. Visit Antelope Canyon X, a natural masterpiece carved into sandstone by wind and water, famous for its red walls with violet and orange hues and breathtaking light effects. Continue to Bryce Canyon, an amphitheater of hoodoos sculpted by erosion, whose colors shift through the day from yellow and orange to pink and violet. Buffet dinner and overnight.

The visit to Bryce Canyon National Park will take place on Day 6 or Day 7, at the guide’s discretion.

Day 7 – Bryce Canyon → Las Vegas (260 miles / 419 km)

Buffet breakfast. Depart for Las Vegas with a quick lunch in St. George. Arrive in Las Vegas and check in. Free evening to explore the entertainment capital of the world. Overnight.

Day 8 – Las Vegas → Los Angeles

American breakfast. Early departure for Los Angeles, arriving at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) around 2:00 pm. End of services.

The only drop-off point is Los Angeles International Airport. We recommend booking a late-evening flight or an extra night in Los Angeles.

I’m the biggest fan of Fall activities, but haven’t had a chance to do anything beyond Apple Picking in NJ. I decided to take a last minute 2 day trip with a friend in Hudson Valley, but didn’t know where to start [...] Thankfully I was able to use New York Welcome to do the hard work for us [...]

Irene was a FANTASTIC tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about the area and was so patient with all our questions. We stopped to use the bathroom and we got coffee halfway through, she was so kind! It was a pleasure learning about Brooklyn from you!
