  • I had so much fun on this tour with my family. We did the Grand Canyon West Rim Skywalk bus tour. That tour package includes: -Hotel pickup: Their buses have designated pickup points at various hotels all along the strip, so you should have no problem with getting picked up. I was staying at The Palazzo and the closest pickup spot for me was at The Mirage. I suggest being a little early because you might have to look around a bit to find the correct spot. Our bus was very prompt and it did not stick around to wait for latecomers. The bus takes you to their office at Planet Hollywood to check-in. The people working there are very friendly. -Breakfast Snack: Don't come hungry because all you'll get is one drink and one snack. The kind of things available were snacks you'd find in a vending machine, like granola bars and trail mix, and water or coffee for your drink. -Guided tour: Our bus driver/tour guide was awesome. She made the ride there interesting by telling us about the scenery along the way. You'll pass by the Hoover Dam. On the return trip, there's a brief stop so that you can get out and use the bathroom, stretch your legs a bit, and take some photos. -Lunch: you have very few options once you get to the Canyon but lunch was fine and it was nice to have this included. You'll know you're in Arizona for sure. There were dead scorpions floating in the huge tub where the keep the bottled water on ice. -Admission into the Grand Canyon: Such a beautiful wonder of nature. I'm glad that I got the chance to see this once in my lifetime. -Skywalk: I definitely recommend including this in your tour package. It's worth the extra cost. It was so cool to be inside the rim and to be able to see the view below. There were birds flying under! WARNING: Check the forecast before you go and go on a day when the skies are clear. Due to the high altitude and the nature of the structure, if there's any signs of thunder or rain, they'll close down the Skywalk for safety reasons. If the troublesome clouds don't pass, you'll have to go through the hassle of getting a refund from the tour company. I went during the summer and there was a light sprinkle and we heard thunder roll in with the dark clouds. I'm going to guess that summer lightning storms are pretty common here in the summer months. In other news though, it was really cool to be able to see this so closely. When you're at the canyon, be very careful near the edge and absolutely do not let small children out of your sight. I was shocked to see how careless people were and how closely they got towards the edge while taking photos. One wrong move or if some careless person runs into you and you could find yourself over the edge. I wasn't even that close to the edge and what I saw made my knees feel weak. It's a lonnnng way down. Don't let your children run around like some irresponsible parents I saw. If you're looking for a cool day trip to do in Vegas, this is definitely worth your time and money. Don't forget to tip your driver!
