Okay but…

Yarline_V, Mar 2026

Van was very small. Unable to sit comfortably. The whole canyon was rushed and the pool was packed. Would rather have skipped it

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks for your advice

Long day, but saw a lot....

Katheryn_M, Sep 2025

Long day, but saw a lot. Complimentary/continental breakfast sucked but the rest of the day was good.

Nice views. The tour...

Shannon_H, Apr 2025

Nice views. The tour guide spoke mostly in Spanish throughout the tour and only a little bit in English for us non Spanish speakers.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks for your appreciation, We will continue to seek continuous improvement

Worst bus ever!!

Kelly_W, Jun 2024

The guide was great, the tour was average, the food was good, but the transportation was the worst. I’m 5’10” and my knees were jammed into the seat in front of me for 8 hours. You are in this bus for 8 hours and it is the most uncomfortable I’ve ever been in a vehicle. This company does not care about your comfort. This is a torture mobile. If you are over 5’6”, you should book a different tour, why ride in a torture mobile when other companies actually care about your comfort and use a decent bus.
