Traveler Tips
while it is a long bus ride, once you get there it is worth the trip.
You cannot take cameras or phones on skywalk, they have photographers but can be a bit pricey, however, this supports the native american tribe also
Anyway, take some hot clothes and cap, be prepaid get up very early (about 5 30am) and go

Mediocre tour to a wonderful place
mrk00l57, Mar 2023
Not enough info about our pick up location
Long bus waits
Photo should be included with the skywalk (felt ripped off after waiting 45 minutes in line)
We paid for our own breakfast and then found out it was included
Amazing day and sights
Melissa_A, Mar 2023
The tour guide was fantastic and explained everything and we had free water for the bus trip so that was a bonus. And we had a subway for breakfast and lunch in the Grand Canyon I think if you bought that package the sights all the sights we seen was amazing but the Eagle point was special there was plenty to eat drink and gifts. We had help choosing our pick up point nearest to our hotel and had directions when we got lost all in all 10 out of 10 loved it thank you
1st time experience
Amanda_B, Mar 2023
It was my sister and my first time going to the Grand Canyon/ Hoover Dam and although we enjoyed the gorgeous views of the canyon as well as the Hoover Dam stop, we did not like that the driver was very late, how hot it was on the bus, or the fact that we could hardly hear/ understand what the driver was saying. For the amount of money that we paid we were disappointed in those few things. Be mindful that the people touring with you may not be the most friendly, or maybe we just had a tough crowd. You could get lucky:) The people at the canyon were no better with regards to kindness. With that being said, pictures do not do the canyon justice. Take it all in and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience if you do decide to book this tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2023

Great tour. Poor service from tour operator
Akira_H, Mar 2023
I have a mixed review on this tour.
We were supposed to do this tour on Sunday. My entire group got up and we were at the agreed meeting point at 6:15 a.m as arranged. At around 6:30 when we had not seen our tour bus, we called the tour operator. They said the bus was running a bit late and we should give it some time. After about another 30 mins we called again and were told that they were having vehicle problems but the bus was now on its way to us. About an hour after the agreed pick up time, another group of people waiting on the same tour, told us they were informed by the tour operator that the tour was cancelled! We had to call again to receive this information. At no point did the tour operator reach out to us to give any of these updates!
Since we were only in Las Vegas for a few more days it would have been difficult to arrange the your with a different operator so we decided to reshedule for the following day. Again they were late but after being picked up, everything went smoothly. Our driver stopped for us to have bathroom breaks.
The Grand Canyon is a MUST SEE. So breathtaking.
I would recommend doing this tour with another company.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Dear Akira_H,
Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are sorry for the issues you experienced and for missing your sightseeing expectations.
All the coaches Gray Line uses are maintained to the highest industry standards, however the extreme weather conditions of the American Southwest does take a toll on equipment and we are sorry that this affected your planned trip to the Grand Canyon.
We are happy that you did eventually get to see the magnificent natural spectacle that is the Grand Canyon.
In closing, I want to again apologize again and wish you all the best in your future travel experiences.
Sincerely,
GL Vegas Customer Service

Worst Tour Ever!
Alicia_T, Mar 2023
This tour was the worst I have taken. The bus smelled horrible like human waste no AC. The driver had no clue of what he was doing no information or advice of sites. Advised Mic was broken. It was very upsetting to pay so much money for this tour
Response from Host, Mar 2023

A few setbacks with organization and itinerary
Michelle_N, Mar 2023
Awesome views
Confusion with pick up location; not the bus expected; mechanical error; destination beautiful; enjoyed being able to use time as wanted.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hello Michelle,
Thank you for being a Gray Line customer ansd we are sorry for any confusion over the booking process and the hotel pickup location. We are happy to hear that you loved the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, it is a truly majestic destination.
Sincerely,
GL Vegas Customer Service
A bit disappointed
Alan_B, Mar 2023
Having paid for the trip upfront, we were charged $20 without explanation before boarding the bus. The distribution of tickets was a bit chaotic. Tour advert says bus is air conditioned- ours wasn’t. The Grand Canyon itself was spectacular and the food included in the tour was good. Our driver was good, but it would be a stretch to call him a driver/tour guide. We received no information on either the Grand Canyon or Hoover Dam.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Dear Alan_B,
Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are sorry for missing your sightseeing expectations. The additional fee was for the fuel surcharge that was disclosed during the booking process and on your confirmation. We are also sorry if you found the temperature on the coach to be too hot, however all of our coaches are A/C equipped. I would point out that with our much colder than normal weather of late, most guests are interested in heat, not cooling. Yet we are sorry that you were not comfortable. In closing we want to wish you all the best in your future travel experiences.
Sincerely,
GL Vegas Customer Service
Your site needs to be...
Rob_B, Mar 2023
Your site needs to be updated. The 'hot' breakfast was subway at a gas station. The western town hasn't been available for some time. However, Chris was a great driver.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Dear Rob_B,
Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are sorry that we missed your sightseeing expectations. Yet, we are happy that you were pleased with our driver/guide Chris.
I would like to apologize that the Hualapai Western Town was not open. This feature, while not at the Canyon's Rim, is interesting and is suppose to reopen shortly.
In closing, I want to again apologize and I want to wish you all the best in your future travel plans.
Sincerely,
GL Vegas Customer Service
