The pick up from my downtown hotel was on time @6am. Four others in the group. Friendly, knowledgeable guide/driver. Got to know each other over breakfast (cost included in fee) at McDonald's on route. Stopover at Hoover Dam. Plenty of time to walk over the dam and take photos. Onto the West Rim tourist gathering centre. Bus to West Rim Sky Walk. Cloudy day so not very spectacular lighting. Despite what others may say- you are not allowed to use your own camera on the Sky Walk. Relaxed sit down lunch with preordered sandwich, fruit, crackers and bottled water. Bus to the next viewing area. In all a very enjoyable trip. Well worth the money spent for the trip.Being in a small group was really good. No rush, no chasing after people not sticking with the group.Guide/ driver pointed out places of interest along the way. Dropped off back at the hotel at the end of the day.
