So glad I found this tour to the Grand Canyon, it was so worth it! Everything was taken cared of for us, we just had to sit back, relax and take in the sights. Our day started with the #MAXTOURVEGAS van picking us up right at our hotel around 7:30 am. Our tour guide #MaxTourBobby had picked up other passengers at their hotels too. The van was comfortable and of course had air condition. There were about 13 of us on this tour and it was a nice small group. We had people on our tour from Virgina Beach, Georgia, Maryland, Australia and Hawaii.
#MaxTourBobby our tour guide was jovial, and funny, gave clear directions on what to expect and what was next during the tour. He is a wealth of information, from the history of Las Vegas and everything Las Vegas, he had trivia questions for all of us to participate in and jokes. Also a music aficionado with play lists to enjoy on our journey. #MaxTourBobby also had a cooler in the back with unlimited soft drinks, iced coffee and water. He also had Muffins, and snacks. (chips, nuts, granola bars, candies)
We started at the Las Vegas sign and all got to take pictures, #MaxTourBobby is also a great photographer and knew all the great angles and poses for us to get great pics.
Next stop was to the Seven Magic Mountains, which was so colorful and huge.
We then went to grab lunch at this mini mart/gas station where there was a Subway and grabbed sandwiches to eat in the van for the somewhat long drive to the Hoover Dam and it was a restroom stop.
Of course #MaxTourBobby told us about the the kinds of wildlife we might see on the drive and the history and construction of the Hoover Dam and about the Colorado River, we crossed over from Nevada to Arizona then headed to the Grand Canyon. When we got to the entrance of the Grand Canyon, we didn't have to wait in the long lines that we saw from the other bus tours and solo travelers that had to wait for the busses to take them to the Canyon. We drove right up, #MaxTourBobby took all of us in to get our tickets and then we hopped back on the van and headed to the Canyon. We got to walk around on our own and explore then, it was back on the van and headed to the West Rim and the Skywalk.
On our way back to Las Vegas, we stopped at the Joshua Tree forest then headed back and we were dropped off at each of our hotels. By the time we got back it was almost 9 pm.
It was a super long day, but so glad we took this tour, so glad that we didn't have to drive all that way to see all that we did with all of the commentating and wealth of information we were presented of everything we saw courtesy of our AWESOME #MaxTourBobby guide.
Highly recommend this tour! read more
