The Grand Canyon was wonderful, and the Skywalk was a once in a lifetime experience. However, the horrible road to get there was not so great. The trip will be a lot better when the county finally paves the 14 mile dirt and rocky road. Thank goodness I wasn't in my vehicle!

Great guide; not too long a drive to the Grand Canyon, with interesting stops on the way. Three and a half hours at the Grand Canyon, so not rushed.

The Grand Canyon and the Skywalk were beautiful. Skip the ranch unless you have small children. I would suggest that the tour operator allow more time at the Hoover Dam.

This was a long day, but it was enjoyable. The coach was comfortable. Our driver was extremely informative. The Skywalk area is still under development, but it was enjoyable. Lunch was better than expected. Views of the canyon were good and we also got to see views of the Hoover Dam.

As usual in America, all is quantified and not a lot qualified. As Europeans, we don't like that. Things the driver said were a lot based on dollars, costs, etc., but he was nice and kind. We understand that it is more than anything a cultural question, so it's not his fault. Safe driving and kindness, OK, but the tour could be even more, we think.

A very enjoyable trip was made more pleasurable by the expertise of our driver. He was very informative, safe and quite funny. The whole trip was very well organised, although I think a little expensive for a moter coach tour. The ban on photos on the Skywalk is a little scam; the crew on the Skywalk takes the pics and then charges you for the privilege. But overall, the tour is quite good.

Great but a little short on time. Got off bus at 12 and had to be back by 2.30 which meant not enough time to visit the ranch. We didn't leave until nearly 3 as 4 people were late back. I know this isn't the company's fault but 2 and a half hours wasn't long enough especially as we sat there for another 20 odd minutes that we could have had in the Grand Canyon. Bus was clean and trip was great.

The highlight of the trip for me was Guano Point; the views from the point were amazing and truly beautiful. I enjoyed walking down the rim of the canyon and seeing the splendor of it all. Lunch with the Indians was great and very enjoyable. I had the best table on top of Guano Point!

From pick-up to drop off, the whole excursion was great. The service was very organized and the driver very pleasant. The comfort of the bus was very pleasant, and left us time to catch some sleep along the way. We had planned to self-drive, but I'm so glad we decided to take the tour instead. I would certainly recommend doing the tour. I'd like to do it again.

Trip was very good, did not bother going to the ranch, but if we do this trip again we would probably add the helicopter ride. It looked awesome.

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Las Vegas. Both my 13 year old and 6 year old enjoyed the Skywalk and views. The buses were on time and comfortable. The picnic lunch was very tasty, not fancy. There were lines to get second helpings. Most aspects of the trip were well organized. Loading the buses in the morning was a little confusing. We needed a little more time to fit in all the activities.
We visited the Skywalk, Guano Point, and had about 45 minutes left for the Ranch. We were not able to ride horses or go on the wagon ride due to lack of time. Our driver was nice, but I would have liked more of a narrative history on the Native Americans or the Grand Canyon.
If you are trying to decide between taking the tour or renting a car and driving - take the tour. I talked with folks who drove and they didn't save any money. The drive into the Canyon is rough, takes about an hour. They are going to pave the road, but letting someone else drive so you can enjoy the view is wonderful. The Skywalk is breathtaking and even those afraid of heights won't miss this once in a life time adventure. There is not much time at Hoover, so plan a separate tour if you are really interested in the dam. Of all the activities we paid for on our trip to Vegas, this tour was not a gamble - we hit the jackpot!
Great trip! My only complaint is about the seating assignments on the bus. My husband and I were celebrating our 25th anniversary but had to sit at opposite ends of the bus because of the first come, first served rule. The tour operator could better serve people by letting couples board together, and singles should pair up. After spending a fair amount on the trip, we should have been treated with more respect. By the way, it was a manager who did this.
