The tour itself is what you would expect. You get on a bus, drive to the Hoover dam, get to see some Joshua trees along the way, and then you get about 2 1/2 hours at the Grand Canyon which is plenty of time. However, this tour is a “narrated tour” which I didn’t realize. Normally, this would be fine because I like to hear about the history of certain landmarks, roads, etc. But if you have Jackie as your tour guide, just know you won’t be able to hear anything for 2 days after your trip. She not only spoke the entire time you were on the bus, even starting at 7 AM, but she would scream into the microphone that was blasting through the bus. And definitely don’t try to speak with anyone in your group while she was talking, she would keep repeating “excuse me, cmon guys, listen to this, listen to this” and then go on a rant about something in her personal life. Tour guide made this trip unenjoyable. She was a nice woman but very rude when she wanted to be heard. Just rent a car and do it yourself

Hello James, so sorry that the tour was not quite what you expected. Our tour guide Jackie is traditionally very enthusiastic about conducting the tour; however, at this time it appears she was a bit too enthusiastic. We will speak with her about this matter and encourage her to be a bit more reticent about her presentation and to also discourage discussing her personal life. Thanks for your feedback and please come back and see us soon.
