The place is great to visit. However, is better to book a private tour with a max 4 persons than a bus tour. We were picked up from the hotel in a bus of 50 people. Only 9 of us had the extra option of heli/ boat (the most expensive). We were dropped off fist at the heli instead of the skybridge where was the most crowded as cheaper (only $69). By the time we got to the bridge, after heli, there was a 2 hrs wait. We waited in the sun znd did not have time for the promissed snd oaid for barbecue lunch at the Eagle view point. Not to say that the driver paid most attention to the rest of the tour participants with the cheaper option. After we walked the bridge we found that the driver left us to wait him for about 45 minutes in the parking lot while he went to pick up the others from Eagle point where they enjoyed lunch and views. Not to say that on our way back to LV, the A/C in the bus was either turned off or down as we soaked and baked.
All in all, if you are party of 2 to 4, rent your own car and drive yourself. Once you are st the Grand Canyon West you can purchase tge "greatest package" includes all, I mean it all for only $366. You do the math and will see that you will be better off that way.
I have booked all my vacations thru Viator, the were all great, ut this one left me a dour taste.

Dear Rodica_C,
Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we sorry that we missed your expectations and that you felt rushed during your time at the Grand Canyon. For guests that book the helicopter/boat option we always recommend they do this first as do to weather conditions that can change (mostly wind) rapidly during the afternoon doing the helicopter later can result in the cancellation of that tour aspect. And since nothing can quite compare with the bird's eye view of the Canyon you get while descending 4000 feet to bottom, we do think this is the most important part of the day. Not to mention taking a boat on the mighty Colorado River and seeing millions of years of history represented in the Canyon walls above you. On behalf of everyone at Gray Line around the globe, I want to wish you all the best in your future travel experiences.
Sincerely,
GL Vegas Customer Service
