Tour bus picked us up then brought us to the office where we loaded on a double decker bus. Along the way our driver Mr Dwayne was very friendly, knowledgeable. Upon arrival at the Hoover Dam for 15 minutes for photo shots. When we reached the Grand Canyon the bus driver gave instructions about time frame we were to meet back at the bus. The stay was 3 hours. The view of the Canyon was absolutely breathtaking. We were able to sit outside at tables and enjoy the lunch while viewing the canyon. I would highly recommend Gray Line Bus Tours to the West Rim and Hoover Dam Tour. I am completely satisfied with the tour it was all what the advertisement promoted.

The entire tour was enjoyable and interesting. Eagle Point was my favorite site. The driver/guide, Derek, was very knowledgeable and quite entertaining.
The only problem we had (party of 4) is we were left at our pickup location and had to get an Uber to meet the bus st the last pickup. When the driver was asked why did he leave us, because we were not late, he stated that after the first 2 people got on, he called and asked if he could leave us and was told yes that was OK.
The experience made up for the inconvenience, but I hope that doesn't happen to anyone else in the future

Not enough time for this trip ,did not have time to eat spent 90min quing at the skywalk rushed around the other stop to get back in time for the helicopter ride
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Dear Shaun_S,
Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are sorry for missing your sightseeing expectations.
Normally the four hours that our tours are at the West Rim are more than enough time for guests to do everything they want at the West Rim. Unfortunately, just like most of the world's tourism attractions, on certain days everything is just busier than normal. We are sorry that this affected your enjoyment of this amazing place.
The West Rim of the Grand Canyon is on the tribal reservation of the Hualapai Nation, a native American tribe. Just as Disney operates all venues & attractions at Disney World, the Hualapai Nation are the operators of everything within their Tribal lands. We will pass along the guest comments regarding long lines to them.
We are very happy that you were able to experience the unique sensation of having a bird's eye view of the Grand Canyon as you descended nearly 4000 feet to the base of the Grand Canyon. The view looking up at the rim from the bottom is truly breathtaking and something very few of the Grand Canyon's millions of visitors experience.
In closing, we do appreciate your feedback, and we want to wish you all the best in your future travels.
Sincerely,
Michael S / GL Customer Service

We enjoyed seeing the Hoover Dam from the Memorial Bridge. Our trip only included a short stop. We stopped at a clean gas station for Subway sub and snacks. The poverty through the reservation was shocking and sad. The Grand Canyon was awesome. The park area is not well developed so you are on your own to figure out what to do. We missed two of the three attractions just because we were unaware. Well worth having someone else to take care of the 4+ hours of driving. We were on a motor coach with about 50 others. Michael was a good driver and narrated the drive. We arrived back at the pick up spot without incident.

Doing the Skywalk was the best! Bus was not the most comfortable, lots of vibrations and intercom was not working well. No vouchers were given for breakfast as printed, lunch was very delicious at Skywalk Cafe. Chris the driver was very nice.

The bus was over 30 minutes late for pickup to start the tour. Breakfast was not provided as listed in the description of the tour that I purchased.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Dear LaKeisha,
Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are sorry for missing your expectations.
We are sorry for the late pickup, however when you work around the busiest tourism corridor in the world occasionally delays happen- usually due to unscheduled road works, heavier than normal morning traffic, or difficulty locating guests at a previous pickup point. We are sorry any impact this had on your enjoyment of the spectacular Grand Canyon.
We are looking into why you did not receive the breakfast snack, as that is a fairly routine aspect of your excursion.
Regarding the overall cost of the tour, the vast majority of the cost is the entrance fee into the Grand Canyon West area.
In closing, we are sorry for missing your expectations, and we do want to wish you all the best in your future travel endeavors.
Sincerely,
Michael S. / GL Customer Service

The experience was great. It did feel like we were kind of rushed and then it was very misleading. Because we thought that we got a breakfast with a and then we didn't even get to eat lunch there because the line was so long. They're just wasn't time so I would just let everybody know. In the future that gets us that You will be waiting in line about half the time you're there

Tour very poorly managed. Guide/driver Mike took over half an hour just to do bus name check list making us delayed from the start. All time at grand canyon spent in giant line ups for shuttle bus, sky walk, food. One of us missed out on our lunch because of the delays. Tour guide refused to hand out water until the end of the tour. And spent more time making dad jokes and talking about God then giving actual Tour information.
