Traveler reviews
Awesome Trip!!!
Our group had about 20 people on the bus which is just right because a large group would make this trip harder. Luis was very informative and very attentive.
Bad experience
The bus was not good. It was old, the air conditioning did not work at all. It was miserable traveling due to heat. It said we would get 4 hours at the canyon stop but was only given 3. We had to get off bus early and taxi back to our hotel since it was hot and uncomfortable in the bus. They were also running little late in the morning for pickup. It cost lot of money to be not comfortable. I rather rent a car next time.
A bit disappointing
We booked this tour through Virgin holidays & thought it would be a great way to see the hoover dam & Grand Canyon as our package included the skywalk & included a BBQ lunch. The booking process wasn’t great as our paperwork gave us the wrong location & pick up time. We had emailed confirmation as directed but for some reason the email failed to go through when sent. As a consequence we missed the tour. To grey lines credit they immediately booked us on the same trip the following day at no extra charge. We boarded the bus & set off for the hoover dam around an hour & half away. This was the disappointing bit. The tour bus stops around half a mile from the dam where you can see it from a highway bridge vantage point from a distance. I was expecting to be able to walk around the dam & possibly even go down into the turbine hall as I’d done on a previous tour with a different tour provider. I think it misrepresents the tour to advertise the hoover dam & Grand Canyon. The reality is a tour to the Grand Canyon & a quick stop to look down on the dam from a distance. The Grand Canyon element was more positive with the skywalk being impressive. Having said that the included BBQ lunch was far from impressive & did not fit the description of a BBQ. It was essentially canteen food & wasn’t particularly nice. Our driver was helpful & provided free bottles of water & a running commentary of sights along the way. He also made regular comfort stops at rest / gas stations so customers could use rest rooms. In summary the tour was ok but I didn’t feel we’d had the quality experience we expected due to the poor lunch that was included & only getting a limited view of the hoover dam from a distance for a short period of time.
Bucket List Item Checked Off!
The experience was amazing. The driver was kind to reserve a seat for my handicap. My only complaint is that the ad promised a bus with a bathroom, but we did not have one.
Fun day at the Grand Canyon!
We enjoyed our day going to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon with our guide Derick. He gave lots of tips about how to navigate our stops, where to eat, and what he recommended. I’d only recommend that they have clearer pick up instructions & a better bus.
