based on 1,104 reviews

super pretty views and Robert the bus driver did a great job pointing out interesting sites en route, stopping for photos frequently. The bus was very comfortable but it’s a long day and one should pack a hat and gloves etc as it’s cold in Bryce Canyon and there are short hike opportunities which are wonderful but you need the right clothing and shoes.

Really nice tour! Paulie was absolutely the best and made the tour enjoyable. Great personality and makes sure everyone was on time. I’m not used to sleeping up right, so bring a neck pillow to prevent neck strain. Be sure to tip your guides! $10 to $15 is customary

Amazing day. Beautiful scenery, comfortable vehicle, small group with lots of time at stops. Just as the description said. Would 100% recommend
