| - The trip was pretty fun. Had Thomas as our driver, and he was really great. He has a really good personality, Informational and funny. First we took a ride to the Hoover Damn. Gave us about 15 mins to take pics and whatnot. That was nice. Then went about 2.5 hours to the magical Grand Canyon, the west area to be exact. We had 4 hours to explore and enjoy. So beautiful. In the price we paid it included food voucher and the wonderful skywalk. There are 3 points/stops of the whole west area. I had a great time with my family there. We ate the food at point 3 with bbq beef (Guano Point).
The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the morning start was pretty slow and frustrating. The transportation bus was suppose to arrive at 6, yet came at 6:15am, and it's cold on a desert morning. Then we go pick up other people for the tour, and finally end at a building were you have to get in line to check in, get your wrist band, and pay an extra $10-$15 for I think gas or something.
There's a breakfast station there too but many items are over priced. After you finish, you load the bus. If there are late comers, the bus driver WILL figure out how to keep families together, which might mean you may have to move seats, but still be by the people you came with. After you have those seats when the bus starts moving, those are your seats for the whole day. The ride wasn't bad as stated before.
In our trip , when it was time to go back to the strip, we had a couple of late people, but 1-2 people were over 15 mins late therefore messing up our time schedule. The bus driver notified the grand canyon security. The missing people were not found. The bus driver cannot leave those who are missing unless the bus company approves. Long story short, the company must've approved because they were left. So please people, be on time.
On the ride back, you sleep, and that was great. He did make a bathroom stop which was cool. Then he drops you off at the front of your hotel. Overall, I'm satisfied with the trip
