This trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon was absolutely fantastic. Chad was our guide and from minute one, he made sure that all ten people on the tour got to do exactly what they wanted. If you were interested in the history of the area, he explained it, if you had questions about the geography or geology of a formation, he answered it, if you just wanted to wander and take pictures, he followed behind and acted as your personal photographer. Seriously, the guy really put in the effort to make sure that everyone on the tour got out of it what they were looking for.
Now about the sights that you see...A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Chad makes sure that he brings you to the best spot and overlooks along the rim trail. The beauty of the Grand Canyon is something that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime. This was my second trip, having hiked to the bottom and camped there years ago. This time we were in Las Vegas and I wanted to make sure that my family got to see the canyon so I booked this excursion. It was a long day but rest assured...it was well worth it. The views and photos that you can take are incredible and the memory of the experience will never be forgotten.
The small group (a van with just ten of us) is definitely the way to go. I know people who have taken the larger motor coach tours with 40 or 50 people, and they couldn't believe how much more knowledge we gained, sites we viewed, and picture we took over what they did.
The tour company provides just about everything you will need during the day. There was cold water, snacks for the ride, a great breakfast on the road, and even the sandwich lunch was delicious and filling.
If it sounds like I am raving about this tour...I AM!!!
