We stayed in Vegas just for the purpose of going on this tour. This tour ended up being a huge waste of money and time. As we had a rental car it would have been so much quicker, cheaper etc etc to bypass Vegas totally and go straight to the Hoover Dam and then the Grand Canyon.
But anyway, we did, so here are the photos to match etc. We got picked up from the motel at 6:15am in the morning and taken to a bus depot to then catch another bus out to the Grand Canyon. The bus stopped for lunch at Williams after driving for about 4 hours!! We got to the National Park where Neil, the kids and I were picked up for the bike ride part of the tour. Though we realised we could have hired the bikes ourselves, this part was awesome..... Anywho, we had a private guide which was cool. Her name was Lorraina and she was from Peru. We cycled for about an hour and a half along the South Rim. We were gobsmacked how enormous the Canyon was. After the bike ride we met back up with the bus, which of course then took another 4 hours to get back to Vegas. Yep EIGHT hours on a bus for a one and a half hour bike ride.
