The trip to Grand Canyon was good but we had some problems -- we were the first to be picked up at 5:40am and the last to be dropped off at 11:40pm, because only one bus returned all the people to its hotel. In addition, we arrived late to the film IMAX, and we had to wait one hour from the next.

I travel about 3 times a year and this was my 2nd time going to the Grand Canyon. I decided to go for the 2nd time around because I remembered how wonderful my first tour was. Then I met the worst driver/tour guide in the world. This driver had problems driving and speaking at the same time. He would break off in mid-sentence every time he changed lanes, every time he braked and on every bend on the road. He also had memory problems on where he had left off so would repeat the whole thing again only to break off again. It was 'The Grand.....The Grand Canyon has .....So the Grand Canyon..... has many .... The Grand Canyon has many lookouts', for FOUR AND A HALF HOURS each way. At one stop he got angry with a couple for being 15 minutes late and blamed them for the delay. At the next look out point, he even left a person behind because she did not return to the bus on time. He just left her there, in the middle of nowhere, at one of the lookout points!!!

It was a very rushed trip. Breakfast was very simple, a cream bun and a packet of juice. We had to gobble down the breakfast and rush for the bus. This, according to the bus driver, was because the trip to South Rim is an extremely long one. We started off from our hotel at 6:15am and returned after 10:30pm. Long journey with majority of the time spent on travelling. Very tiring. With the IMAX, there wasn't much time for us to do the optionals like helicopter ride either. Quite disappointed. Would have opted for the shorter West Rim experience had we known that the South Rim bus tour is such a tiring one.

I did not like the that I was not picked up or dropped off from my hotel. I had to go to a different hotel that I was not staying at. That was so inconvenient. Also, I didn't like that we had to change from one bus to the another bus. What was the purpose if we were all going to the Grand Canyon? I thought that by having my voucher I was ready to go. We wasted almost 2 hours waiting for everyone to be divided onto different buses. Also, we were not returned to Las Vegas by 9pm as promised. It was almost midnight.
Reviewed by: Beatriz R, United States, June 2007 Note from Viator: The idea behind central meeting points is to reduce the time spent on passenger collections that can take a long while, especially with the Las Vegas strip traffic. Unfortunately it did not seem to help in this case and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.
