| - Grand Canyon Tour Company needs some work and needs to fix some problems.
Did the west rim bus and skywalk tour. I stayed at the Palazzo and had to catch the bus at treasure Island at the valet bus pick up area. This was chaotic because no one knew what bus to get on and none of them are labeled. Wow a plain white bus, which one do I get on? So I checked a couple nope, called the tour company. The bus isn't there yet, but will arrive shortly. I have a seat fifteen minutes goes by and a guy comes strolling down, you taking a grand Canyon Tour? Well I was planning on it if I knew what f$cking bus to get on.
Here's an idea, if you bring a plain white bus have the driver stand out side the bus with a sign telling everyone this bus is for Grand Canyon Tour Company.
Once on the bus we are taken to the bus terminal location where we are dropped off. Here they have a major a$$hole who is the drill instructor telling people to do this, do that, hurry up, get the fu@k in line, get outside, this guy needs to seriously calm down and learn some public relations.
This is where they give you a snack for Breakfast, coffee or tea, a pastry, and only one bottle of water, and the drill instructor a$$hole will make sure you know to only take one.
Once we are divided into groups we wait for the bus, guess what? It's a plain white bus so you better figure out how to identify it because if you are twenty minutes late at any stop they leave without you we were threatened.
Once on the bus the seats were comfortable. Make sure you sit up front or you won't be able to hear anything. The driver is the guide and will tell you about things, the problem is that no one can hear her over the engine, she is using the engine brake which makes it even louder. She states that isn't her problem, well it's a huge problem when I don't know where to go or what time to be back, or any other instructions.
The WiFi doesn't work on the bus, it is spotty and horrendous at best.
The first stop was the Hoover Dam where you can get out to see the Mike O'Callaghan - Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. Here they have some info on the bridge, but you have twenty minutes to get to the bridge and back so no time to read. This is a great view of the Hoover Dam and you can also see the welcome to Nevada sign.
Once back on the bus it's off to the Grand Canyon. The bus stopped in a sh!thole town called Dolan Springs. There the driver passed out the boxed lunches and nothing to drink. Well there is a store where you can pay an arm and a leg for something to drink, but you better be back in ten minutes. So you are forced to buy water.
The next stop was the Grand Canyon. This was set up pretty nicely with a bus that goes between the three stops, the buses are like every twenty minutes. I used my time at Eagle Point, the views are amazing and the skywalk is incredible. The problem is the Asians, they are very pushy and discourteous, there is no railings and the drops are 400 feet or more, so if they push you over it is not going to be good. I tried to stay away from them but they were everywhere. They had several close calls, I don't know why they are so pushy and can't take turns. The views are amazing and spectacular.
The next stop is guano point where there is remnants of the days of the mine. The views here are just as breathtaking.
There are several gift shops also.
Once back on the bus it was back to the hotel. The bus also plays several informational videos, but you won't be able to hear them due to the noise of the bus.
