If you are visiting the Grand Canyon, this is the ONLY way to do it. The alleviation of the stress of driving up and parking was worth it alone. Couple that with the entertainment, food, scenery, history, etc, it was worth it 10 fold. We were admittedly a bit apprehensive of what we would do with our 2 boys (6 and 8) for 4.5 hours round trip. We brought an entire bag of games / toys and an iPad with a movie. We never opened the bag. Seriously. The ride went so quick with the entertainment, snacks & drinks, site seeing, being able to walk around. The staff was amazing from start to finish. Truly old school customer service where it was apparent they actually cared about each and every guest. You would be crazy not to spend the money for this. We did the observation dome, also worth every penny!
