This was my first time to the Grand Canyon. Our guide, Michael, was informative. He was friendly, a great communicator, and use good humor to make the experience very enjoyable.
Not the VIP Experience
Jeanna_W, Mar 2024
The minibus that we were picked up on was fine, nothing fancy. After all parties were picked up, we received a sack breakfast with a hostess breakfast muffin/roll/minimuffins, string cheese and bag of peanuts. The ride to the canyon was uneventful, stopping once to use the restrooms. When we arrived at the canyon is where things took a turn. Unfortunately, instead of being able to use the minibus we drove in, the park apparently did not have any more "passes" meaning we had to wait in line and all cram into the buses that the park provides (standing room only). Once we arrived at the first lookout, we were immediately ushered inside to stand in line for lunch ("since the lines get long later"). Not sure where the picnic lunch that was advertised was, but that would have been a better option to avoid the lines (our guide had left with a couple that were going on a helicopter ride before lunch was over so those of us that were left had to leave the tip). We had wanted to go out on the skywalk, but time did not permit as we needed to stand in line waiting for the bus to take us to the second lookout point. We had a short time at the second lookout point before we again had to wait in line to be taken back to the gift shop where our bus was parked. Very little time actually getting to enjoy the scenery. The stop at the Hoover Dam was fine. We did get to make a stop at a scenic overlook for pictures, then walked over the dam. There was one more stop where those that wanted could take pictures from the tall bridge as well. We really wanted to love this trip. We paid more for the opportunity to get more time and avoid the lines but unfortunately that was not what was provided. The tour company made no apologies or tried to make it right either.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Jeanna, Thanks for the review. We wish the day had went smoother for you. The Hualapai will change things on the fly and not inform us and only when we get information like yours can we request changes to their program, so this is very helpful indeed. We definitely prefer to drive our own vehicles to the viewpoints, it makes for a much better time. We don't like using their shuttle system at all. It's good and it's new but yes it's crownded. The weather has been quite chilly and windy up until now so the picnic lunch at the rim is really uncomfortable in those conditions and they'll not offer it on those days. Although, the views from the Skywalk restaurant are fabulous. Once again, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience and offer you something special next time you're in town, please contact us directly. Very best regards, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners

Fantastic Views
Patricia_D, May 2023
This tour was great from start to finish. The driver narrated our way through the day with interesting facts. The van was clean and well air conditioned. We were amazed that the Canyon looked different from this view point. Hoover Dam was simply jaw dropping like the Canyon. We were never rushed and took many pictures.
Response from Host, May 2023
Hi Patricia, So glad you had a fun tour to Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. Please come back there is so much yet to see. Very best regards, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners
Infectious Laugh and Beautiful Views
Ardath_C, Feb 2023
Clayton's infectious laugh. He ensured everyone got to see what they wanted to. He was very knowledgeable. Really liked Hoover Dam and the last stop Grand Canyon (Guano). Was uneasy going out on the rocks but with a little encouragement from Clayton we all overcame our fears and saw the most beautiful views.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Hi, and thank you for your review and compliments to Clayton. He's a really nice man and we are so lucky to have him. I will post your review for him and the staff to see. Very best regards and please come back, there is lots yet to see. Will & Donna Tryon - Owners

Dharmendra_P, Apr 2022
An absolutely must do - very experienced tour guide (Art) who allowed ample time to take in the breathtaking views across the Canyon and Hoover Dam, finishing with the tour of the historic city of Boulder City. Great value for money, and well organised with no waiting around for others.

Personal attention was given to make it OUR best trip!
Julianne_R, Jan 2022
Our guide was Clayton and he was very knowledgeable and did everything possible for us to have an amazing time. It was worth the price to get the personalized experience and he knew all of the tricks and best times to do certain things so we were able to spend time doing what we wanted to do instead of waiting in long lines. We never had to wait for anything because of his guidance. The actual tours were well described, accurate, and just what we expected. I got car sick and Clayton was extremely sensitive to that and went out of his way to be considerate of my needs. His picture should be in the dictionary by hospitality, attentive and thoughtful. Well done, brother!
Response from Host, Jan 2022
Hi Julianne, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Clayton is a jewel for sure. I'll post this for him and the staff to see. Thank you again and very best regards, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners

Great Trip!
Cheryl_M, Jun 2021
Konoa was a GREAT tour guide. Our only disappointing factor was the tour into the generator of the Hoover Dam was closed. This was included in the price of the tour. We would have also liked more “free” time to roam around the points of the west Canyon. It seemed that we “had” to follow a certain path and location.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
Hi, Cheryl, Thank you for the review. Konoa is a wonderful person and a great guide. The generator room is closed at the dam so we do allow extra time at the Canyon and the exterior of the Dam. Personally, I think the magnificent exterior views are the highlight and main attraction of the Hoover Dam part of the tour. Thank you again. Very best regards, Will & Donna Tryon - Owners
Totally Worth It to Take This Private Tour!
Craig_E, Jun 2021
What a fun time we had taking this Private family of four tour from Vegas to the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. Our guide was even early to pick us up at 7:00 and we were at the Grand Canyon by 9:15! This trip included our breakfast (in a lunch bag to eat on the way) and then our sit down lunch in a great restaurant with a giant window over looking the Grand Canyon. We spent a fun few hours there. Since it was our Private tour, we could come and go as we please which was super nice! Our Great guide was Kanoa ( probably spelled that wrong.) He gave us so much insight about the indians that lived in the area. He took us to places where the other larger tour groups do not go. We got Great pictures! After we left, we went to the Joshua Tree Forrest. It was a quick stop for us but we got beautiful pictures of these magnificent trees and learned all about them from Kanoa. Last of all, we stopped at Hoover Dam and once again, Kanoa did not disappoint. He gave us great insight to this dam and the area. We were back by 5:00 to then have more fun in Vegas. I Highly recommend this tour. Don't forget to tip Kanoa 15-20% of the price you paid for the trip. We even tipped more than that. It was Well Worth it!
Response from Host, Jun 2021
Hi Julie, Thank you for the wonderful review. Konoa is a great guy and a great guide, we are lucky to have him. So happy you enjoyed all aspects of the tour, we like to show our customers as much as we can. We'll post your comments for Konoa and staff to read. Please come back and visit with us again.

Great Time Outside of Vegas
Tanya_E, Apr 2021
My family had a wonderful time on this adventure. Lee, our driver and tour guide, was very professional and personable. He was warm and welcoming. His knowledge of not only the Canyon, but the surrounding areas was impressive. The tour was interesting. The Canyon is breathtaking and the Hoover Dam is a sight to see. While the tour is all day, we enjoyed every moment and didn’t feel exhausted when we returned to our hotel. Great trip!
Response from Host, Apr 2021
Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. It makes us so happy to receive them from our customers. I'll post this for Lee to read. Our guides love what they do and it's really important to them to know how they are doing. Very best regards, please come back and see us again. Will & Donna Tryon
