We stumbled upon a Groupon for this tour and I'm glad my boyfriend and I took the opportunity as a first-time GC goer and Las Vegas local. We were picked up on the Strip and greeted by our tour guide, Phil, who provided laughter from beginning to end. The group had breakfast at the Omelette House in Henderson and headed to the Hoover Dam. Our time was short at the Dam, but there are separate tours of the Dam and since it's so close to Vegas, it can be it's own mini trip. We then headed to Grand Canyon, which our driver Alejandro was great about getting us there quickly and safely. The tour of the West Rim was great and we really lucked out with perfect weather (mid-November). I was a little saddened to see how commercialized the Sky Walk bridge was (a photographer on each corner, ready to snap your pics), but it's definitely a breathtaking view and is a great part of the experience. Phil was helpful with his suggestions and was active at each stop of the tour, making sure groups (even those that were not his) were given a great time. To see him interact with tourists that were not part of his group showed us that he genuinely cares for people and wants to make everyone laugh. He is also fluent in every language and we loved getting to hear him speak to tourists from all over the world in their native tongues. Super cool cultural experience mixed in with the comedy.
