Returns to original departure point
Meet your driver for an early morning pickup from your hotel on the Las Vegas Strip prior to your departure (confirm pickup time with tour provider). Begin your drive through the desert, stopping along the journey to stretch your legs at the Hoover Dam lookout point and the funky towns of Williams or Seligman along Route 66 in Arizona.

Upon arrival at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, spend your free time exploring at your own pace: walk along Hermit Road or Rim Trail, attend ranger programming, pop into the museum and gift shop, and of course, take in the view.

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

, 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.

Lorena was a polite, fun driver. She had tons of information to share. I really liked her. The breakfast and lunch meals with just the trick, too. It's very hot in August, but the bus was cool. Be sure to bring an external power bank as there are no plugs.

Very Disappointed

Very bad experience. First off they booked us for South rim and Hoover Dam when they knew full well both were closed. We were then offered to go to the West Rim (only) for the same price. We decided to at least do that. One party was late for pickup and we waited 15 mins for them to show. The "breakfast" consisted of a banana, packaged snack cake and cookies. When I asked the driver for a juice which he offered, he said he'd have to get out and open up the storage area to get it so I declined in order to keep things moving. The driver made a couple of unscheduled stops just to kill time. They forgot to make our lunch and we had to wait for that. We finally got to the Canyon and the driver was emphatic that we were leaving at 2:00 PM sharp, that gave everybody 3 hours to explore what could've been done in an hour. The same couple that we waited on that morning showed up at 2:23 PM with no excuse for being late. The driver said he was not allowed to leave anyone so everyone else had to wait. One lady traveling by herself took up 4 seats on the way out and continuously got up and moved her stuff all over. On the way back she sat in two other seats while leaving her belongings in the first four. Some social distancing! The driver either didn't care ( I pointed it out to him) or is powerless to do anything about it or the late couple. Overall a terrible experience and not worth the money. I wouldn't do it again.

We are so sorry about your perceived negative experience. Unfortunately the South Rim has been closed to tour operators during COVID19 and West Rim is our only tour alternative. If you can forward to me the name of your driver, I will research the other perceived problems you encountered during the tour. Forward any information to myself at earl@sweetours and I can assure you I will get back with you as soon as possible. In the meantime, please stay healthy, safe and close to your family.

Although the south rim is closed due to COVID they still manage to give us a excellent tour of the West Rim . Everything was perfect . If you are someone who is afraid of heights ( like me) I would WAIT to buy the skywalk tickets till you are there to see if you can manage overall breathe taking experience !!!

Great value. Well organized. A shoutout to our guide/ driver Anthony. A good way to get a sample of the Grand Canyon. If you want a full experience it will take longer than a day and this is not the way to do it. The stops and the meals were adequate. Plenty of water and onboard videos explaining the sights. If you're going be sure to check the weather at the destination. It is not nearly as warm as Vegas.

Picked up on time. Some other passengers were late. Not the company's fault, but a reminder to future travelers to be on time. The bus was comfortable, but the video screen in front of me did not work, the driver/tour guide excellent. Hoover Dam a major feat. Grand Canyon a wonder. More than enough time to visit the Canyon. Picked up at 6, back at 11pm - a very long day, but really unavoidable to see what we saw
