"Self-guided" does not mean you're on your own. You get the same support, safety training and equipment as a guided tour - without the group pace or the group price. ★ marks the advantage.
| Self-Guided with EzRideLV | Guided Tours | |
|---|---|---|
| Can I get lost? | No! It's a one-way scenic route - you can't get lost. We provide an easy-to-read map and a marked route. | You follow the guide throughout the ride. |
| Along the way | You start at the entrance of the canyon on a dedicated bike lane for approx. 4 miles. | Guided operators ride the same shoulder and bike lane entering and exiting the park. |
| Freedom to explore | A private tour without the logistics - explore the canyon at your own pace, no conventional group-travel style. | You ride with a pack of people you don't know, following a pre-defined itinerary. |
| Cost | Costs less while keeping all-inclusive quality, support, flexibility and convenience. | Prices can jump up to 30% more per participant. |
| Sightseeing & stops | Complete informational map covering the fauna, flora and geology of the Mojave Desert, with recommended stops. | The guide interprets signs at several scenic stops - signs you can read yourself. |
| Distance covered | Approx. 22 miles or more, starting at the canyon entrance. | Most operators provide a 13–16 mile tour. |
| Assistance & support | We always come to help with a replacement bike. You're not expected to fix a flat yourself! | The guide takes care of mechanical breakdowns. |
| Safety | Essential tips, safety guidelines, training and instructions before you roll. | Similar safety guidelines. |
| The e-bikes | Lightweight quality e-bikes in 5 different sizes to fit any rider. | Most operators have limited size options. |
| Transportation | Pick-up and drop-off at any Las Vegas hotel, on your schedule. | Pick-up at selected hotels only, with set times and no flexibility. |
| Permits | No permit needed - the park is open to the public with paid entrance fees. | Guided operators are required to hold a permit. |
