hi everyone if you watched our 50 fun things in Las Vegas video then you know
that we were gonna go to a Grand Canyon bus tour so the question is was it worth
it and the answer is yes it's totally worth it and we would recommended it
you'll come with us on the tour and then I'll also tell you about some helpful
tips at the end of the video
so here we go
our day started at 6:30 when the tour
shuttle came to pick us up they pick up some other people and then we get
shuttled to where all the tour buses are here you can grab some coffee and the
included breakfast an orange juice as much water as you want mini muffins a
banana and belVita breakfast biscuits we went on the day after Christmas and our
whole bus was full
[Driver] you guys'll get the opportunity very shortly here to step off the coach take your photo of the Hoover Dam
Hoover Dam straddles Nevada and Arizona so the men and women's bathrooms are in
two different time zones since Arizona doesn't observe daylight savings time
next we stop by route 66 in the town of Seligman which is one of the last
remaining towns on route 66 here you can visit a bit of history and buy some
souvenirs and take some nice photos lunch was surprisingly good they gave us
two bags of snacks a tasty sandwich with some yummy moist bread and a piece of
fruit we got to the entrance of Grand Canyon
around 2:30 but it took us 51 minutes to travel one mile because there are just
so many cars we get three hours at the Grand Canyon and the bus driver gives us
his advice on which trails to walk and which shuttles to take so it's 3:30 and
we finally get off the bus at Bright Angel Lodge it had been a long bus ride
so far but then once we walked outside oh my gosh it was all worth it
it was a good thing that we already took video at Bright Angel Lodge before we
hopped on a shuttle to Mathers Point because then a snowstorm came in and
then we couldn't see anything
so even though we didn't get to see much of the Grand Canyon because of the snow
it was still a fun experience and our first time seeing snow together
it would definitely be better to go during the summer
so if you're interested in doing a bus tour here are some tips number one don't bring any
heavy luggage there was a guy who brought a carry-on and the bus driver
told him he couldn't bring it there's a security checkpoint at Hoover Dam where
an officer actually gets on board to check if there are any fugitives and
then they also check under the bus
after doing a lot of research the best tour
was GC tours they give you free breakfast free lunch a stop at the
Hoover Dam and route 66 you get unlimited bottled water
there's a restroom there's movies they cover the park entrance fees and they
don't ask you for fuel surcharges so all the other tours I saw were more
expensive or didn't include as many things
GC Tours actually asks Sweetours
to conduct the actual tour but if you go directly to Sweetours it costs
twice as much so make sure you book on GC Tours not Sweetours
and the third tip is to dress in layers it was at least 10 degrees colder in the Grand
Canyon than it was in Vegas so make sure that you dress appropriately
so we really enjoyed our visit to the Grand Canyon hope you guys enjoyed this video
see you guys next time
