Picked up at Scottsdale hotel on time (6:40sm) and headed up to GC. Had been offered to prebook sandwiches which we paid for getting on bus and were given them around noon before we got to GC. Stopped approx every 1.5hr for bathroom/refreshments (gas stations/McD typically). Stopped in Williams @ Route66 for 1/2 hr photo op/coffee stop. Got to GC entrance/airport dropped off 7 passengers taking helicopter ride, then headed up to GC Visitor center. This line of traffic can be start stop due to paying fee to enter GC. We were given 3 hours to walk around. It was perfect amount of time (driver went back to first entrance to pick up flyers and brought them back up for approx 40 minutes so they also got to see GC from walkers view). There’s a museum, bathrooms, Hopi house, gift shops etc to walk around. There’s 2 walking trails, 1 left to nice viewing & gift shop which we did, then came back to visitor center and walked right, further around the rim great views, to Geological center. Conditions were icy, very in some spots, witnessed kids & adults falling). Driver picked us up from this furthest walking point at Geological center. There’s another smaller gift shop but no refreshments. We left around 3:40-4pm, driver put on a couple good movies about the GC which helped pass the time. Stopped for bathroom a couple times, got back to hotel around 9-9:30pm (there were 2 bad accidents which really slowed us down by approx 1-2 hours). Driver was very informative, a great guide. Would recommend, and check out helicopter option. It was booked out when we inquired).

Hello and thank you for the thorough and in-detail review! It is always nice when someone takes the time to share their experience so that others may get a good idea of what type of experience to look for when taking our tours. We plan our routes very carefully so that we ensure that our guests spend as much time in the Grand Canyon National Park as possible! Sounds like our calculations left you with the perfect amount of time. :)
