Tour guide was great, bus trip was long but broken up with stops and movies on the way back. Lunch was OK but the Imax movie was definitely worthwhile. Grand Canyon was breathtaking! Tour was reliable and very well organized, and a great way to see the GC from Las Vegas. One day at the South Rim was plenty. Bring sneakers, sunglasses, sunscreen, and water!

The only complaint that I have is that I called in the day before, as required, and was specifically told no backpacks, and that was what I had brought with me to keep my camera, bottled water, and everything else in, so I ended up having to haul around a huge tote all day long. This was made worse by the fact that probably eighty of the other people all had backpacks, and I had my seventy five year old aunt with me trying to help her along as well as carry all of our stuff on my shoulder, so I was a bit miffed about that. So, be sure to bring a backpack! We were picked up promptly at six in the morning, as we were told we would be, in a very nice bus, and taken to the dispatch center where everything just seemed to flow like clockwork. They were very informative about exactly what to expect, and gave us a quick danish and coffee and juice, and off we went. Our driver was very informative as well as entertaining, and we just had a great day. I am a travel agent, and other than the backpack problem, I am recommending this agency highly.

The Grand Canyon was superb! The sun was out and we got great views for our camera! Although the travel to and from was long, the ride was not very tiring because the buses were really comfortable. The air-conditioning kept the temperature at a pleasant level. The driver-cum-guide was good too. He was informative and very humorous too.

Long day on the road but worth the trip. Extra points to our driver - very well informed, humourous and patient. A lot of passengers were late returning to the bus at several stops. The driver certainly added plenty to the trip, making the long hours doable.

The a long day ended up being a lot of fun because of the driver. He knew more bad jokes than anyone that I know. The staff was fantastic and extremely prompt. Great job.

We upgraded to take advantage of the helicopter ride in the canyon. We enjoyed the whole experience immensely. Highly recommended!

The tour was wonderful! The tour operators very efficiently gathered the participants from our various hotels, provided very clear details about the options available, fed us a simple breakfast, and then took care of all the driving while providing commentary along the way. No commentary could match the grandeur of the Grand Canyon, however! Marvelous!

The ultimate experience. Nature at its best. Great commentary. We took up the offer of additional helicopter flight. This is a must, doesn't cost a lot more but adds more than words can describe.

The tour was fantastic and worth the long drive, and the IMAX movie was a great way to start the visit to the Grand Canyon.

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the Grand Canyon South Rim. The only problem the we had was the length of time that was allowed to view the canyon and the IMAX show. Although we do understand the time constraints for the this trip to get back to Las Vegas in the same day. Another problem that we had on this trip, that was not any fault of this company, was the power outage that arose from the thunderstorm. We feel that the park should have a generator set up for these problems. We were more than satisfied with the safety of the bus driver that we had along with the roominess of the bus seats. We were more than satisfied with the set up of this tour. Thank you.

We took the South Rim tour on August 3rd, and we were totally pleased with our day. The bus driver was friendly and knowledgeable, the drive was long, but very worthwhile as the Grand Canyon is absolutely breathtaking. Viator know what they are doing, our day was well organized and comfort and our enjoyment were well looked after. Thanks for a great experience.
