| - At $74 for a full day tour to the south rim of Grand Canyon National park, you cannot beat the price. I was hesitant, thinking this tour was simply too good be true, but I was extremely pleased with the company. Our driver, Mike, was very personable, kind, and did his best to ensure we had a good time. He provided lots of interesting information the entire tour. Bus was nice, but FREEZING (pack a jacket!)
I was pleased that we got to see Hoover Dam, and I was REALLY excited to stop in Seligman, AZ - the town that inspired Radiator Springs in Pixar's Cars. Hoover Dam was incredible, and honestly, the 15 minute photo stop is all you really need to appreciate the wonder. Seligman, on the other hand, was pretty disappointing. The location where the bus stopped was disappointing, as about a mile further into town are some truly quirky shops and photo opportunities, which you're unable to indulge in with just a 15 minute stop to stretch your legs.
Be prepared for a very long day. VERY LONG. EASILY a 15/ 16 hour day. The company is very upfront about the length of this tour on their website, so just seriously consider whether this will be a problem for you.
With that being said - I sobbed at the Grand Canyon. I have never seen anything like it in my life- it is truly astounding.
