text: Fantastic trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon with other fun stops along iconic Route I was traveling on my own and was not sure which tour company to go with glad I picked Detours Was picked up on time by tour guide Alan and we only had one other couple on our trip so plenty of room to spread out in the van The vehicle was nice clean and comfortable and there was a DVD player so we watched movies during the ride up and back nnAlan was fantastic and was like a human wikipedia about the canyon and the Hoover Dam This was my first trip to the Grand Canyon and it was well worth it nnA few tipsn If you are getting picked up at the Venetian note that the pick up is at the lower level of the Sands Convention Center NOT at the taxi stand outside the hotel n There are plenty of stops along the way to use the restroom and pick up extra snacksn The couple on my tour paid extra for the helicopter ride into the Canyon and said it was absolutely amazing n The trip from Las Vegas to the South Rim takes much longer than the West Rim so plan on an all day trip we left at am and returned around pmnnThanks for an amazing trip
