This tour was perfect for our family. We were only in Las Vegas for 3 nights in early August and wanted to see as much as possible in our little time. We were picked up from our hotel at 1:15 AM and greeted by our tour guide. The van was a comfortable 7-seater that suited our needs perfectly, allowing ample room to sleep while we drove to our first stop. Mike was a safe and friendly driver and brought our girls a welcome package of treats. He made multiple stops for washroom breaks and was extremely flexible with our dietary restrictions as a vegetarian family. The Grand Canyon was much colder than expected early in the morning, so we recommend packing for windy and cold weather during this tour. We visited two stops at the Canyon, one easy trail and another stop for a beautiful view and photos. Mike also captured incredible photos for us. We also came across some wildlife and throughout the drive Mike would tell us interesting facts and history. Once we reached Horseshoe Bend it was extremely hot. In the 40s we were surviving off of 5-6 ice water bottles per person. Our tour guide also brought us water and we will say it was needed. The view was beautiful and a wonder to see. We stopped for lunch at Subway (at our own expense) and then headed to Lower Antelope Canyon. We spent an hour here with a native tour guide and a group of about 15 people. As the canyon was underground it was a little cooler but still hot. Extremely beautiful. We slept on the way back and by the end of the day were extremely tired. We arrived back at around 8pm and Mike dropped us off at a dinner place we had requested for. One thing that had caught us off was the high tip, with how much we had already paid we thought the tip was a little high. Otherwise, this trip was amazing for our family and our two teenage daughters enjoyed it thoroughly as well.
