Great views at Grand Canyon west rim and Hoover Dam

This was a great trip to the west rim of the Grand Canyon. For me the Skywalk was a little underwhelming- much smaller than expected even though I knew the dimensions. Guano Point was amazing with almost 360 view of the canyon & Colorado River. Nice Haulapai handmade jewelry available for sale here. The stop at Hoover Dam was pretty impressive. It was a bit of a hike to get to the bridge but the view was amazing. The dam is an incredible feat of engineering. Out guide, Jesse James, was very knowledgeable about the geology, native plants and wildlife in the Mojave Desert. He was very personable. I highly recommend this tour.

No Spanish tour

The place is very nice, the price seems a bit high to me for what they offer you (speaking of lunch, some souvenir, and they only give preference for a surprise gift to like 2 people out of all of us who booked), the stop locations like the bubble are very fast and it doesn't give you time to see the things offered very well. The duration of the visit is fine, but at some points you have to go very fast. The driver was very kind, as was the guide, only all the directions, explanations, and history were in English, and for the speakers who spoke Spanish, most of the instructions or directions were not understandable.
