This trip was terrible. We were picked up at the hotel at 6 am. Then we all met in the office, where we had to change the bus. After 3 hours on the bus we have to change the bus again. Overall It took 6 (!!!) hours to get to the Grand Canyon. When we were there we were told that we will have 3,5 hours for all activites. That was less time then we thought we would have. We were although told to wait in line to get seats on the helicopter. We waited another hour with a lot of people. The flight in the helicopter was amazing and the boat trip was great, too. We had a really nice guide there. After the helicopter flight we had only 1 hour before we had to be back on the bus. So we jumped into the shuttle bus and made a 5 minute stop at Eagle Point then we took the next bus to go to Guano Point. There we had lunch and took photos of the Grand Canyon. Then we waited 20 minutes for the next shuttle bus to go back to the bus parking. We had no time to see the ranch and we really had to run a lot to get everything done. They really lie to us at the beginning of the day when they told us that we can do the helicopter, see all attractions and do the skywalk (if we want to). We were really disappointed. On the way back we had to change the bus twice. It took another 6 (!!!) hours to go back to our hotel. That means that we spend 14 hours just waiting and driving and only 2 hours seeing the Grand Canyon.
Grand Canyon is amazing, but had to change buses so many times that the jounrney was not fun
Excellent trip with lots to see - the helicoper ride is definitely worth it. But there's only 3 hours at the Grand Canyon. The helicopter tour was 1 hour and 15 mins so you have to budget your time to stop at the 2 other viewpoints and have lunch to make sure you see everything.
