Grand Canyon south rim - so worth it! - I enjoyed the South rim Grand Canyon tour. You need to go into this tour knowing that is a long drive. Curdy was great and added commentary and some dad jokes along the way. There were some late returners, and a loud party on the tour, but, Curdy remained professional throughout. It was a great tour!

Great experience - The bus ran in perfect schedule. I thought like all ither bus tours, this will also run late. But oh boy, was I wrong! This ran on perfect schedule. They were very quick to handle the crowd. Go for their breakfast and dinner menu. Its decent food. Kevin was tour guide and he was great, both funny, and disciplined. Would recommend this one.

Memorable trip to Grand Canyon - We had a great time on this tour. The tour begins quite early in the morning at 5:00 am. There was some delay in our pick-up and then we were dropped off at another location to join our actual bus tour. So by the time we actually started from Las Vegas it was nearly 6:30 am. The one-way journey was rather long about 5.5-6hrs, with a few stops to pick up breakfast/lunch near Boulder City and bathroom breaks. However, our tour guide, Kevin kept us entertained with lots of trivia about the Black Canyon, Grand Canyon and Route66. They also played informational documentaries during the journey, with some movies. We finally reached the Grand Canyon at about 1:30 pm. One could either take the guided tour or choose to hike. The first point of view was Mather Point, and what a spectacle it was! We chose to hike along the South Rim Trail which is about ?? miles in the next 3 hours. All along the hike we enjoyed the granduer of the astounding Grand Canyon, and took many incredible pictures. We also got the rare opportunity to see a Condor, a critically endangered species, perched magnificently near a cliff. On our way back, we got a chance to see the Hoover Dam bedazzled with lights. There was a break for dinner again near Boulder City and then we were dropped-off. Our tour guide was definitely amazing, but the bus driver Eric was absolutely fantastic. He drove the bus very smoothly despite the journey being so long. Kudos to them! The only thing we felt was that there needs to be more food options for vegetarians. For a journey of nearly 8-10 hours, a salad lunch seems to meager. Apart from these, we had great fun and look forward to future tours! Thank you!

South rim tour - Grand Canyon is a must see and I believe you get much better views at the south rim than the west rim. It was a very long day but definitely worth the trip. Two things I was disappointed with 1) we were given 2.25hrs in the park not 3hrs 2) our guide was up selling by selling a guided tour of the park for $20pp. For that, you were bussed from point to point. She specifically told us that you would NOT see the canyon on the rim walk. All but 5 people bought her trip. We saw the Canyon on the WHOLE of our rim walk and it was breathtaking. If you're able to walk then walk as it'll be a much better experience, it was fantastic. The path is flat and suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. I would say, definitely book this excursion but without the additional tour. They didn't see anything extra than we saw.

Great experience but too long a day. - The Grand Canyon was beautiful & very interesting, with a great Driver and pleasant company. My only criticism would be that it was too long a day for me.

Grand Canyon South Rim tour - The tour guide Brandon earnestly provided background to each of the locations we stopped at, like Boulder City. The experience at Grand Canyon was great, seeing the beauty of the site. It would be nice if the tour company would have smaller groups, instead of a double decker bus, as it would reduce the hurriedness of bathroom stops, as there were so many people.

Long Day, but glad we did it. - Good communication with company before tour day. Little chaotic finding the right bus as there were several in that particular area. Once on the bus, very organized but we did miss breakfast orders as guide didn't come to our part of the bus so we didn't hear it in time. We stopped for a couple of bathroom breaks along the way and five hours later arrived at the Grand Canyon. Beautiful place that we were at about 2 hours total. Stopped for quick dinner on the way back that seemed a little disorganized. We had ordered ahead, but some weren't ready. Our guide, Katie, had been great all day but did seem to get a little frazzled at dinner as a passenger took a fall getting off the bus and had to go to the hospital so it was understandable. Overall, good trip, but it is a very long day on a not so comfortable bus.

Great view..that's about it - Viewing the Grand canyon was amazing. Really took some breath taking photos. That being said the bus trip up and back was rough. We were seated right by the stairs on the upper deck. There was no way to stretch out our legs under the seat in front because we had a walk. My son is 6'3" and I am 5'9"We had no pockets for storage like other seats not did we have cup holders for a 10 hour round trip. We also received seats with non working phone chargers. This was very inconvenient considering the long ride up and back where phone movies were definetly going to used. When issue was brought to the tour guides attention we were advised to ask a neighbor to use their plug. Sure I will give a complete stranger my phone to charge. Be real. You didn't dare ask to change seats or you were scolded by our bus mom. We ended up plugging it in at the restaurant we stopped at for dinner. Which by the way was a waste of money and disgusting. They preorder ahead of time so I got a dried out hockey puck of a burger with plastic cheese on a cardboard bun for $15. My son's fried chicken sandwich which they forgot about and made three was still a chicken shank at best on the same card board bun another $15 waste. Rent a car for the day and do it yourself

Not worth it - Rent a car if you want to go to the Grand Canyon. This excursion was terrible and it was almost 17 hours to be in the Grand Canyon for 2 hours. We were "upgraded" to a minibus excursion which missed all of the points on the old itinerary - Kingsman, Seligman. etc. We stopped only on gas stations and in a terrible restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Of course the food was awful and expensive. The only good thing was the tour guide - she was professional, but you can just open Google and read different things or follow the information signs on your own and walk the whole road without a guide. Overall - don't book it.
