I recently experienced Rebel Tours' trip to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. In comparison to other Vegas tours, this left a lot to be desired. The hummer used was old & the air conditioning did not work well. There were 8 people in the hummer and it was hot - inside & out.
The driver was just that - a driver & gave no information while driving to & from the rim and no info while we were there. Half the group had booked a copter ride at the rim & the other half was taken to an "Wild West Town" where we were supposed to see a cattle drive & have a horse drawn wagon ride. All we got was a guy doing card tricks who was actually okay, and a shoot out that would entertain 6 year old children - certainly not adults. Then it was time to go back to meet the other half of the group who had been on the helicopter ride.
We did finally get to the rim & have lunch, but this was at about 1:30 pm & we had been picked up at the hotel at 7:30 am. If it weren't for the other people on the tour the day would have been a complete waste of time. Do yourself a favor & book one of the more well known tour companies.
