Fun trip to grand canyon on a grey hound bus. Seats are a little small and close together. Wish we got more time to spend at the canyon.

We really enjoyed the ride to the Grand canyon especially because our driver Fil (pictured between us) was very informative, entertaining and just an all-around great guy! Also really enjoyed the helicopter flight with pilot Joseph.

We 4 of us (seniors) took the Grand Canyon South rim tour on Thursday April 21, 2022. The driver Fil, drove the bus, leaving us behind at the lunch stop. We can even see his bus going from the Pizza Hut Restaurant, missed only for 5 seconds. We are seniors, think where and how would we go? After that he made two more stops and waited for the passengers for 12 minutes and 15 minutes. Just because they were not Asian. Very racist. Shame on him. He mentioned he has 100 % for his reputation and others experience!!! Really!! We NEVER had this experience for over 55 years we have been taking bus tours occasionally. It was a different bus companies, not Gray Line. Now we know how Gray Line drivers are :(
