Fraud company, bus never showed up
Straight up fraud company. They rescheduled our south rim tour from 6:50 to 4:50. We had to get up 2hrs earlier than expected which was already a hassle, but when we arrived there at 4:40, there was no bus. There was another group of 3 waiting for the same bus. We asked every single bus that arrived there if it was grey line but they weren’t. After an hour and 20 minutes of waiting and unanswered phone calls they finally decide to pick up just to tell us the bus arrived and left and they could do nothing about it. When I told them there was 7 of us and 4 security cameras at the Excalibur Rotunda that could vouch for us and prove they were lying they folded and decided to give us a refund. Horrible experience, I don't think these guys even own a bus.

Gray line tours pass me...
Gray line tours pass me to another tour group, maybe because its not enough number of people joining my chosen tour or that tour is full.. But i appreciate it because we had a great time, our tour guide and driver are amazing. Thank u also to gray line for making sure that we are informed of the changes and for making sure the tour will push thru.
