There was not a stop at the Hoover dam (just got to see it from the bus at night). The free lunch buffet was not good at all. So make sure you take advantage of the McDonald's stop. I wish we had more time at the Grand canyon. If you are a advantageous person like me and like to explore the Grand canyon then I would recommend for you to take A drive out to the Arizona yourself and make it a 2 or 3 day mini vacation. As for people who just like to take pictures I highly recommend this tour. Larry our tour guild did an awesome job of getting us there and back.he was every informative but it was kind of hard to understand him; I do not know if it was the microphone or because he is old. However, I still tip $25 (two people) because he got us there and back safe ( a total of over 8hour drive) so do not forget to TIP!
