The tour guide, Smokey, did a fine job at the destinations, ensuring we had the best photo ops at each site. He offered to take our pictures for us as well. We made several stops to view a variety of sites on the way to the Grand Canyon. It was often difficult to hear and understand what was being shared by Smokey during the drive. It didn't appear the speaker system was working regularly or that he was connected to it. Smokey was a nice man but did not appear terribly organized and ready for our tour. I would have appreciated a lot more time at the Grand Canyon itself than all the time we spent stopping along the way to get there. Lunch at the Cameron Trading Post was good. Nothing spectacular but fine. We always felt the time at each stop could have been a bit longer and more relaxed or a reduction in the number of stops to allow for more time at each stop. Especially the Grand Canyon. Stopping for coffee shortly after getting into the van was totally unnecessary and a waste of 30 minutes of our tour time. Disappointed with the cost for the service received.
