The Greyline tour operators were professional, but the bus ride is long and tiring. With family and small kids it’s tiring and boring. But the driver was very polite and driving was good. Lunch and dinner options for vegetarians are limited. So better pack it, food and drinks are allowed inside the coach. Coach has a restroom too.

It was a very long day. We were picked up at 5:55 am and did not return back to where we were pick up until 12:30 am. If I was to do it again I would do the West rim were it does not take all day. It took us 8 hrs to get to the grand canyon. We were late for the movie so we had to wait for the next viewing so everybody had to wait on the 11 people who had paid for the movie. by the way there was 80 of us.

We upgraded our tour to VIP.. and we are glad that we did it. Our driver and tour guide Moe, was the best. We can tell he is passionate on what he does.. he is very knowledgeable and accommodating. He took our best pictures and captured all the memories of our visit to Grand Canyon. We are forever grateful to Moe.. Kudos to Grayline and to Moe.. Ladies in Pink Caps..

Very good day. Our driver very good at his job, kept to scheduled times. Audio was great with history of the areas and movies to help pass some of the time.

My family really enjoyed the tour. The bus driver was awesome and really patient with everyone, treating us like his family! We would only recommend two changes: 1) We enjoyed watching movies during the trip, but one of them was not child friendly (Meet the Fockers). All of the movies don't need to be animation, but the language and content should be considered. 2) We purchased the Grand Canyon IMAX movie option. This movie wasn't worth the cost at all. It wasn't informative about the origins of the canyon and is something that could have been shown for free on the bus just prior to our arrival at the park instead of showing it during precious time that could have been used at the park.

Very long day but was worth it. Would have liked some seats in the waiting area prior to getting on bus. Bus was comfortable enough and bus driver pleasant. Reasonable lunch included with a good variety of choice, should be something for everyone. We did the optional Hummer which was the highlight of the day. We had about 5 or 6 stops round the Canyon as opposed to 2 if you do only the bus tour. Kelly the Hummer driver was very informative and pointed out things you would never have seen. Would recommend but with an optional extra, think it would be an extremely long day doing only the bus tour.

Awesome visit at south rim of Grand Canyon. The tour operator was gray lines and they had ensured every aspect of the tour right from hotel pickup, details of the tour and upgrades options. Bus driver was an experienced driver and it was good to hear the history of the places that we were passing by. He also clearly instructed us do’s and don’t and have suggestions on the best canyon views. Awresone experience.
