I was completely satisfied with my tour experience with GC tours. I don't write reviews a lot but I feel like I should say something positive about my experience since I enjoyed it so much.
The price was more than reasonable for a trip like this as they not only pick you up and drop you off right at your hotel, 2 meals are also included. The food was nothing fancy, but we were well-fed throughout the 15-hour trip. If you're traveling from Vegas, you do have to get up very early as it's a long drive out to the Canyon. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I learned so much as he narrated throughout the first part of the tour. In between his narration, he put on relevant and entertaining documentaries/films/concert videos to keep us entertained. I thought this is very nice.
We got 3 hours to explore the Grand Canyon on our own. The tour guide made sure that everyone knows where they're going and was more than willing to repeat instructions and give recommendations.
We also got to see the Hoover Dam on our way to the Canyon as well as a stop at the historic Route 66. There were multiple rest/bathroom stops on our way and back to the Canyon, which made the long trip as painless as possible. I would definitely recommend it if you're in Vegas for a few days and would like to check out the Grand Canyon at an affordable price. I didn't get my tour guide's name, but I really want to thank him for his hard work!
