We were told we must register pick up place so we can get pick up time. We did. We got an email confirming 6:20 am pick up. At 6:10 am we were told we didn’t show up on time at 5:20 am and they left without us. Except we had it in writing the pick up time was at 6:10 am. Initially they refused to refund us but eventually we got our cash back. However, the missed trip is just that: missed trip and disappointment.
Dear Renata, Thank you for having chosen Gray Line and we are very sorry for the confusion and missed trip. Due to an itinerary change the start time had to be moved, and we incorrectly thought we had properly contacted you regarding the time change. In closing, I want to once again apologize for you having missed your Grand Canyon tour, and I want to wish you all the best in your future travels. Sincerely, Michael S. / GL Vegas Customer Service
We were in great hands with our guide/driver Rod. It was a great experience seeing the beautiful Grand Canyon!
Hello Frances, Merry Christmas! Thank you for leaving Gray Line such a nice 5-star review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your day with us and our driver/guide Rod. Since 1910 the Gray Line family of nearly 200 worldwide sightseeing companies have been seeking out the best guides in every destination we serve, so it's nice to know our guide did such a great job and had great suggestions. On behalf of everyone at Gray Line around the globe, I want you to know that we all hope to see you on another adventure sometime very soon. Regards, Michael S / GL Vegas Customer Service
Straight up fraud company. They rescheduled our south rim tour from 6:50 to 4:50. We had to get up 2hrs earlier than expected which was already a hassle, but when we arrived there at 4:40, there was no bus. There was another group of 3 waiting for the same bus. We asked every single bus that arrived there if it was grey line but they weren’t. After an hour and 20 minutes of waiting and unanswered phone calls they finally decide to pick up just to tell us the bus arrived and left and they could do nothing about it. When I told them there was 7 of us and 4 security cameras at the Excalibur Rotunda that could vouch for us and prove they were lying they folded and decided to give us a refund. Horrible experience, I don't think these guys even own a bus.
Dear Reuben, As we have previously discussed with you, we are very sorry that a clerical error resulted in your party not being manifested for the excursion you booked. When the problem came to light, not only did we apologize, we offered to put your party on a more expensive tour to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon the following day. You declined that offer and opted for a full refund, which we processed prior to your posting this review. I think everyone can agree that while we committed an error on your booking, once it was discovered we acted in very responsible manner. In closing, we want to again express our apologies, and wish you all the best in your future travels. Sincerely, Michael S. / GL Vegas Customer Service
Gray line tours pass me to another tour group, maybe because its not enough number of people joining my chosen tour or that tour is full.. But i appreciate it because we had a great time, our tour guide and driver are amazing. Thank u also to gray line for making sure that we are informed of the changes and for making sure the tour will push thru.
Dear Erica, Thank you for leaving Gray Line such a nice 5-star review.

Used Grey lines to visit GrandCanyon South. Bus stops at two places for sight seeing and take pictures. If you are looking for some more adventure, this is not your option. Also, the annoying aspect is the driver (name Prince) and his repeated “orders” for paying tips (atleast 20$ per person) and his repeated “warnings” - not to be that late person - to be in time inside the bus otherwise the bus will leave. Wish Grey Lines pays the drivers enough money so they don’t annoy passengers.
Dear chakdec, hank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are sorry for missing your Grand Canyon sightseeing expectations. We do appreciate the kind words you had for our driver Prince. Regarding the excursion, there is no getting around that a day trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon makes for a really long day as it is over 570 miles round trip from Las Vegas, which is the closest large city to the South Rim & the National Park. A day trip to the Grand Canyon National Park from Las Vegas is never meant to be an immersive experience, it is intended to give travelers a taste of the magnificence of the Canyon. For those wishing a more immersive experience, a multi-day trip is what is really needed. Our company has been taking guests on day trips to the Grand Canyon for well over 40 years and our itinerary has been developed based on feedback from our guests over that time. In closing, I want you to know we appreciate your feedback and we wish you all the best in your future travel experiences. Sincerely, Michael S. / GL Vegas Customer Service
Everything went good and easy. Driver was very clear and right on point with everything. He also was very funny. “Don't be that guy “ We loved our trip.

The tour was amazing! From the transportation bus which was comfortable, the driver for the smooth drive as well as the very energetic and informative APL.DE AP of Las Vegas - Mr. Prince to the stops, it was totally amazing. Its just that time kinda short we need to hurry at every stop. We hope nextime joiners will have longer stops in every spots or at least there is an option to stay there the whole day and just hop on at the end of the day. Thanks!

It was very organized. The guide, Prince, gave good explanations with a nice sense of humour. All stops are well planned. And it was worth to see the Grand Canyon!
