Next, we will take a short stroll along famous Rodeo Drive, where the film "Pretty Woman" was shot and which is home to the world's most luxurious shops, and see the "Beverly Wilshire Hotel", which served as the residence of stars like Elvis Presley and John Lennon for years. After leaving Rodeo Drive, we head to Downtown, known as the centre of Los Angeles. Sights to see here include Olvera Street, the skyscrapers shaping the skyline of Los Angeles, and the historic quarters from when the city was first founded.

Day 6 — Las Vegas

Early in the morning, we depart from Las Vegas for the Grand Canyon in the state of Arizona. After a journey of approximately 2 hours, we arrive at the Grand Canyon. Here, our group will split into two; our guests participating in the included tour will board the buses that will take us around the area. At the final point, Eagle Point, we have the opportunity to take magnificent photographs of the Canyon right beside a 800-metre drop. Here, we also have the chance to photograph the tipis of the Hualapai Native Americans. From here, we board the bus again and proceed to Guano Point. While enjoying the meal prepared by the Hualapai Native Americans, we witness yet another magnificent view. After the meal, we return to the terminal, board our vehicle, and set off towards Las Vegas. Guests who wish may crown their trip with a helicopter flight by paying an optional fee (400$). Following our arrival, the staff organising the helicopters escort us to the aircraft. As the 5-6-person helicopters descend towards the Colorado River at the very bottom of the Canyon, you will be mesmerised by the magnificent Canyon views. Later, as the helicopters bring us back up, we once again witness spectacular landscapes. After completing the tour above following the helicopter flight, return to Las Vegas. We recommend that you do not miss this tour, which offers the chance to meet the Hualapai Native Americans who own this magnificent Canyon—a must-see once-in-a-lifetime sight and one of the 7 natural wonders of the world.
