This rating isn't because of Viator (they should not be booking trips to the south rim as it is not open to tour buses at this time and wasn't at the time of my trip ) This review is because of Sweetours which who my tour was booked through..... They were awesome. When I called to confirm my south rim tour I was informed that they weren't offering that tour (for the above reasons) but that they would upgrade me to a west rim tour which was closer and offered the sky walk. Sweetours sent a shuttle to pick us up at our hotel (MGM grand) and brought us to the large tour bus we would be taking to the Grand Canyon. Mike was the shuttle driver and was very courteous and helpful. Our tour guide was Walter and he was fantastic. He made sure to let us know of any photo ops along the way as well as being full of knowledge about the area and the Hualpai Indians and their culture. He also made it fun along the way of the 2 1/2 trip. The lunches they provided were good & they made sure to note any food allergies and keep them seperate. Despite the Hoover Dam being closed to tourists, he made sure to let us know about the photo op when we returned from the canyon while going over the Hoover Dam bypass bridge.

The south rim is currently closed during covid! We were notified a day before our trip that we would be visiting the West Rim. however we had THE BEST TIME. our driver Anthony really gave us an awesome experience. We were able to visit Eagle Point and Guano point. JUST BEAUTIFUL. Continental Breakfast, Lunch and water bottles were included. it’s a 2-3 hours drive so you have more than enough time to rest before you climb up the rocks to view the Grand Canyon. Would deff recommend this excursion.

We were not able to go to the South Rim because tour buses were not allowed. The tour operator asked if we wanted to change to the West Rim, so we did. The tour was good and the bus driver was great. Breakfast and lunch were included and it was good. Plenty of water was also supplied.

We are so glad you enjoyed your trip to Grand Canyon West Rim. As the South Rim still has restrictions, the West Rim is a great alternative as it is very beautiful with stunning views and colorful natural architecture. Thanks for your support and hopefully a future LAS Vegas visit will include the South Rim. Stay safe, healthy and close to your family!

POOR EXPERIENCE
josejesus_a
, Aug 2020
Unfortunately It was a really poor experience! Not recommended to nobody at least you have not enough time and you want to see a little part of the West Rim Grand Canyon. I left this rewiev Because the time was so limited. It supposed to be a 12 hours tour. We left Las vegas at 7:50am and we arrived at the West rim at 11:30 am because the driver did severals innecesares stops. They only let you to stay in the West Rim until 1:30 pm in order to return to Las Vegas. We arrived in las Vegas at 4:15 pm. So, this was not a 12 hours tours! It Was more the time we spent in the bus than in the Rim! The breakfast was One banana, orange juice and one package of cookies! The lunch was a turkey Sandwich and one bottle of water! Very poor the experience.....

So sorry you thought this to be a negative experience at the West Rim. Yes, time is limited and often times we have no control over this factor and always try to maintain a three hour visitation experience at West Rim. If you recall, please let us know the name of your driver and we will further explore this situation and get back with you. Once again, sorry for your experience.
