“This was a great two-day tour, the shuttle picked us up at the hotel on time. Taking a tour is very convenient as both guides (we had 2 different guides each day) were showing the way and giving the guidelines on where to go. For Day 2 (glass bridge etc) I'd recommend to give more time to go down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. We did not have enough time to return back (2 hours). Thank you”
