I booked this thru the online website of Paradise Found Tours which links to Grand Canyon Tour & Travel for $80 a person for the South Rim bus tour. You can have them drop you off and pick you up on another day but that would require you purchasing 2 tickets.
We got picked up on a smaller bus and taken to planet hollywood to check in and get our bottle of water, coffee and small danish for breakfast.
Our bus driver Earl was very rude and not at all friendly. He determines who gets to sit where and was the bus Nazi. I understand we are on a time crunch but he could have been more nice or bring on a tour guide that would be nice.
1st stop was at hoover dam for a 10 min break and picture taking opt.
2nd stop was at a truck stop with a Subways in Kingman City.
3rd stop was a buffet lunch. They sat us with another set of people so we would fill up the table of 4.
Then we got to the Grand Canyon and made 2 stop was at two view points. Each stop we were given 1 hour and was threaten they would leave us if we are not back. They left 2 people at the first stop. He dropped us off at the 2nd stop and went back to get the people left behind.
At lunch he was yelling at a single international guy that probably did not understand him very well. They were missing 2 people and the guy walked on the bus by himself. He was yelled off the bus to find his friend. Then another girl on the bus spoke up that her friend was not there and then the guy was let on the bus. Then the bus driver yelled at the lady for being late and told her to stick to her friend from now on.
Very rude bus driver. We did not get the 3 hours as promised on the website. It said we get picked up later than other tour companies but they made us wait at the stop at 5:45 but didn't pick us up until 6:10am. Then we went to pick up a bus full of people from other places. At the end, even though we passed by downtown Fremont they did not let us get off first and dropped us off last again.
Over 10 hours trip to see the grand canyon for 2 hours and have a rude driver, don't do it. Find a better company without the false advertisements.
