Awesome tour- would recommend!
marcistewart, Apr 2024
I highly recommend this tour. I have always wanted to see the Grand Canyon but it never made the cut on road trips to see national parks and isn’t easy to get to. The tour helped me check it off and have a relaxing day. The drive was easy, a good mix of content but also quiet time to nap, catch up on emails, and review photos on the way back. The lunch was great and filling. Plenty of water and rest stop available and bathrooms on board were clean. Everyone was respectful and was back at bus at the assigned time. Renee was an awesome guide and Henry was the best driver- he even knew which lanes to take so we got back quicker. I enjoyed the walk along the rim and it was plenty of time to enjoy the view and get photos. Being snacks and layers just Incase. The bus had chargers and the seats were comfortable. The day flew by but we crammed a lot in including a stop at Route 66.
Amazing
Cassandra_B, Apr 2024
This was an amazing trip! The grand canyons certainly live up to their name but truly it was Sharron and Dawn who made the trip. Sharron was great! She was so friendly, knowledgable, and hilarious! She really made the day 10x better. And ofc a big thanks to Dawn for getting us to and from safely. I definitely recommend this trip!

Great views
divinamveras, Apr 2024
This experience is well worth it. It is a long trip but the views are way better. The stop at route 66 was an interesting stop. The only down fall is that they have to communicate a bit better the meeting instructions, we almost got in the wrong bus because they were no clear bus number or assigned spot. At that time they were like 5 other buses there. But overall it was a great trip
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I will make sure to pass it along to our transportation team. I'm happy to hear that you had a great time at the Grand Canyon!
Wort the trip for views
Kathy_W, Apr 2024
Trip was worth it! Our driver was knowledgeable and offered a lot of facts. I was not happy with his sharing of personal views, and abrupt on time demands. The bus was comfortable.

JOYDEEP_D, Mar 2024
the tour seemed extremely unorganized at the beginning. It appeared extremely unprofessional. The driver suffers from an attitude problem too.

Leaves driving to someone else, but unnecessary stops and limited time at Grand Canyon
Joe_C, Mar 2024
This made a one day trip to the Grand Canyon manageable as we could doze off some while riding. Positive points - safe driving, comfortable seating and temperature, some historical narration, restaurant recommendations, Hoover Dam info as we approached it for photos, and a good boxed lunch. Negative points - the constant talking by Robert was sometimes too much and sometimes was very opinionated,, and the Route 66 stop was useless as the stop had 2 ladies bathrooms was no snacks, and the estimated time to walk from mathers to angel point was off if you plan to take photographs at all and enjoy the view. We and others felt very rushed and didn’t even have time to look in the angel point lodge gift shop that he told us about to get a souvenir
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We greatly appreciate you sharing your positive and negative points of the tour with us. We will send these out to our team and find ways to improve. Thanks for joining us. Safe travels!

Keith_B, Mar 2024
The trip was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for the driver, Jean, who was professional from start to finish. The Grand Canyon was worth the visit, this being the south rim. Best seeing personally, photos etc do not do it justice especially if it it’s your first visit. Jean was a fountain of knowledge and has a lovely sense of humour. OK it’s an early start, but it can’t be done and enjoyed otherwise, it’s a long trip but with interesting breaks for rest rooms etc. Value for money? Absolutely 👍👍👍👍👍 One final point, we went and of February.Take warm clothing but it’s quieter and easier to move around
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed your time at the Grand Canyon and with Jean. We appreciate your advice about bringing warmer clothes during this colder time of year. Enjoy the rest of your time in Las Vegas and thank you for choosing National Park Express!
Excellent experience

Super nice Grand Canyon South rim tour from Vegas.
Raj_Y, Feb 2024
We had excellent trip to Grand Canyon. Our driver and guide Leonardo is super nice. He explained various items throughout the trip. He amazed us with his knowledge about crest formations in mountains and vegetation in the desert area. He took care of each and every one on the bus. He is such a caring person. Thank you Leonardo.

The ride to the Grand Canyon was very pleasant. The tour bus was very nice and comfy. The bus driver/tour guide Paul was awesome. He was so knowledgeable about Las Vegas, very informative and entertaining! The lunch provided (vegan sandwich or turkey sandwich) was also good! Overall, I would recommend this tour! We were able to take so many selfies while enjoying the trek along Grand Canyon views!
