We all had a great time! As if seeing the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon wasn’t amazing enough, our comedian guide Ralph truly made the day so much fun and had us all cracking up the whole way. What an unexpected and hilarious add to an already memorable day. We’ll be rooting for Ralph to make it to the big time!!!

Great tour, gives you enough time to take photos at the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon and the food was also good. Remember to check the weather before your tour as it can be really cold or really hot. The bus has good air conditioning so it was really nice and comfortable.
