Remember P2! I say that because I went on the tour where Patrick was the driver and Prince was our tour guide and if you take this tour and have a choice, take it with those two gentlemen and thank me when you get back. They are both safe and excellent drivers, you feel well taken care of and in good hands the entire time. Prince kept the tour totally interesting with his wit and humor and historical fun facts along the way (he was easy on the eyes as well but that’s just me! lol). I totally enjoyed myself. i have a couple of suggestions. 1) bring some snacks with you. There are stops but it’s about 2 hours between them. 2) as Prince would say don’t be “that guy” and be on time because the bus will not wait for you and you being late can and will impact others experience. 3) relax and enjoy the trip. It’s very beautiful, breathtaking even. 4) no need to line up like a herd of cattle trying to beat the person behind you on the bus. Everyone has a seat that’s comfortable and ASSIGNED!!! Thus, it doesn’t matter whether you’re the first person or the last person to the meeting spot, your seat is the same which is good because you can leave your belongings on the bus while you sight-see because Patrick and Prince keep the bus secured. 5) PLEASE bring money to tip these gentlemen. Don’t be cheap and scoff at the notion of tipping. They work hard and do an excellent job to make sure your experience is memorable, so please take care of them as they take care of you. I think that’s all I would say to be mindful of but it’s a tour that I would take over again, it really was THAT enjoyable.

The driver was about 40 minutes so shortened the time at the Rim. The meal arrangements were not well explained and a definite disappoint. It is a long trip with little information shared.

It was a very long drive, but very enjoyable due to the sense of humor of our tour guide, Prince, and our driver, Patrick. The destination, Grand Canyon south rim, was breathtaking beyond belief. The pit stops were good with a few opportunities to buy snacks, drinks, and souvenirs. I think My only complaint is that the bus seats had no pockets, cup holders or any place to store my coffee or snacks while on the drive other than overhead for my bag. Great excursion and would definitely recommend.

I’m not at all happy with La Vacanza Travel service. These guys booked for south rim and ended up sending me to west. I got the call that due to technical issue they cancelled it and offered me west with upgrade option. But then too they did not offer sky walk

The Grand Canyon is not to be missed. The bus was clean and comfortable. The guide was quite capable of reading facts to us, even if it lacked a certain something. The thing that prevented a 5 star review was the incessant pandering for tips, to the extent of telling us the minimum expected and suggesting they should get more. This is unacceptable in my opinion. In speaking to some guests from another country, the demands made them very uncomfortable. Prince was personable, and Patrick a good and quiet driver, but if this isn't company policy it should be stopped.They also seem to have a pretty sweet deal going with the location of the double rest stop. Pushing for clients to buy from them under the guise of doing them a favor, while accepting kickbacks isn't that admirable either.
