We did the Grand Canyon West Rim Bus Tour and it was great. Gia was an excellent guide with lots of info, and Wayne made sure we got ice water at each stop. Bucket list trip that didn’t disappoint!

The tour narrator on the bus was great. The helicopter down to the canyon was the best, and the boat ride on the Colorado River was top notch.
