| - My wife and I wanted to go to the Grand Canyon, and the concierge at the Marriott Grand Chateau recommended the West Rim Tour provided by SWEETours. It was $130 per person which included a light breakfast and a BBQ lunch buffet provided by the local Indian tribe. Our day started off at around 6:30am when the bus arrived. We then arrived at the Luxor where we transferred buses and got our light breakfast. It consisted of muffins, a banana, a granola bar, and a bottle of orange juice. It was better than expected. Our bus driver was very upbeat and kept us awake the whole time. I figured that I was going to catch up on some sleep, but her charismatic attitude kept me on my toes. She pointed out different areas of Las Vegas and its surrounding area and mentioned a little history about them.
About 3 hours later, we stopped at some park and ride and transferred onto another bus where it brought us to the West Rim. The ride can get very bumpy so be prepared for that. Our first stop was at Eagle Point/Skywalk. We didn't do the Skywalk because we heard that we couldn't bring our cameras. What's the point? Anyway, the views are gorgeous and breathtaking. I never had seen anything so surreal and enormous. After taking pictures with teepees and enjoying the entertainment from the local tribe, my wife and I rode another shuttle to Guano Point. This is where we spent majority of our time here. First, we decided to do an early lunch and beat the crowd. Surprisingly, the lunch buffet was good. There was BBQ chicken with sun-dried tomatoes, tri-tip, cole slaw, baked beans, macaroni salad, and corn bread. I did not want to overdo it because there was hiking after lunch. We ate lunch on a picnic table that was near the cliff. It was pretty scary but very scenic at the same time. Guano Point is where you want to be at during this tour. There are countless trails that will lead you to different parts of the canyon. I can't stress enough now beautiful this experience was for my wife and I.
We left around 1:30pm, stopped at the Hoover Dam for 10 minutes, and were back at the Strip at around 5:00pm. SWEETours, for its price and service, was well worth it. This experience will forever be embedded in my mind. You have to see it to believe it. These are one of those rare places you have to see before you die. We plan to go on a tour again to the South Rim.
