Grand Canyon holidays
Stretching 446 kilometres from end to end and reaching a maximum depth of almost two kilometres, the Grand Canyon is a colossal natural phenomenon that must be seen to be believed. There are three main rims to the canyon – the South, North and West – with the South Rim the most popular access point, and where you can drive on a forty-kilometre stretch of road that runs along the canyon edge. At the West Rim, visitors can experience the Grand Canyon Skywalk.

Mr and Mrs. Inersen"
"Yogesh, our tour guide really made this holiday for us. He was an excellent guide and he's a huge asset to Cox and Kings. He was very informative about life in India and was extremely knowledgeable. The most inspirational moment of the holiday was visiting the Taj Mahal. Somewhere I've been wanting to visit for years and it was even more magical than I'd expected.
Ms Julie Cuming"
"I found Khiva fascinating. The hotel was very good and within a few minutes walk of the 'old town', which we first saw it lit by moonlight when we arrived and it was a stunning sight.
Mrs Judith King"
"Peru was definitely one of the highlights. On a tour such as the Grand Tour of South America there will be many highlights. One of the unexpected real highlights for me were the rail journeys in Peru. PeruRail are fantastic and the three rail journeys we took were amazing. Great fun, well organised and very good quality trains and staff.
Mrs Claire Lawley-Woods"
"There were too many 'wow' moments to single out any one occasion. We think the fact that Cox & Kings had organised everything and there was minimal hiccups so making the whole trip inspirational was a credit to you all. Many thanks.
Mr David Cowdry"
"We witnessed a society that values the family, respects differences and keenly observes old fashioned good manners. Thank you once again for an amazing experience.
Mr & Mrs Phillips"
"Most inspirational moment - Khiva - beautiful and unexpected although the people came close: friendly, interested proud of their country. Discussing jewellery, children and husbands with ladies selling bread in the market, and not a word of a common language between us, but we communicated just fine!
Mrs Jane Laver"
"In spite of the torrential rain every minute of my stay in Bilbao, this was one of my dreams come true: I finally saw the Guggenheim Museum which I liked very much.
Mrs Sigrid Taylor"
"Brilliant, you are wonderful, never had such an efficient travel consultant before. Very many thanks Shameem.
Mr.Hammerton"
"The range and variety of sites and excursions was excellent. Wadi Rum was my favourite closely followed by my first glimpse of Petra through the Siq.
Mrs Mary Robertson"
"Every day I thought 'it couldn't get better than this' - but it did.
Mrs Jane Knight"
"Walking into and around Petra was truly inspirational - two items of particular note would be the walk up to the 'High Place of Sacrifice' and the first view of 'The Monastery', given it's size and scale and seeing it immediately after a long climb..
Mr Gurpreet Dehal"
"The guide who accompanied our party throughout was outstanding. he was efficient, knowledgeable, informative, good humoured, patient and friendly and his English was excellent.
Mr and Mrs Moseley"
"It is always inspiring to become acquainted with other cultures, and to see for oneself places known of through literature and other reportage media. Our experience of Russia was quite different from the present coverage in press. We were not particularly noticeable or significantly different from the generality of Russians. Perhaps the most pleasing moment was having supper in the restaurant of the National Hotel in Moscow, overlooking Red Square and St Basil's Cathedral. We couldn't have been positioned for a more iconic view, and the surroundings were sumptuous.
Ms Rosalind Lavington"
