Traveller Tips
To see the sunset, and not have to wait in the super long line to get into the park was worth the cost.
I’d recommend starting with this tour so you learn all the secrets before hiking it.
There’s a German tour guide named Werner that knows his stuff about the canyon.

South Rim is spectacular!
William_S, Sept 2023
Our guide Sheila was FANTASTIC!!! She was very knowledgeable and knew the best spots to get the best views!
So much fun, loved it!
Gregg_B, Sept 2023
Our guide, Shela, was great. I had a fantastic time and learned so much about the formations, plants, trees, and park history. Shela was really informative and funny.
"On road" tour
Juliette_H, Sept 2023
The tour guide was amazing. Sheila gave us a lot of information and was very funny. Nevertheless, I don t recommend the tour if you have a vehicle. Indeed, even if the tour is called 'off road" we stayed on the park road with all the other tourists. We could have done all of it with our own car. Only 10-15 min on sandy road.
Response from Host, Sept 2023
Hello Juliette. Thank you for enjoying our Grand Sunset tour that ventures off road for approximately 40 minutes through the Kaibab National Forest and to the edge of the Grand Canyon. We are pleased that you thought your amazing guide, Sheila, gave you a lot of Grand Canyon information and was very funny. We hope you have a great rest of your vacation.

Great sunset tour
Deborah_B, Sept 2023
Cara was very knowledgeable about all of the park and put us all at ease. We enjoyed every minute she had water blankets etc.
Response from Host, Sept 2023
Hello Debora. Thank you. I will share your kind words with Cara. We are pleased that you enjoyed her guiding on our Grand Sunset Tour. Cheers!
Great tour!
Stephen_F, Sept 2023
Loved the 3 Hour Off-Road Sunset Safari tour but unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate since it was a bit hazy and then rained at the very end. Making up for the lack of a sunset, we did get a very close visit from a tame ram that posed for pics, lol. Even with the disappointing lack of a sunset that we were looking forward to it was still a great experience and our guide Werner was very informative and friendly. The one thing I could’ve done without was all the photos he was passing around of how things we were driving by were in the past. Others may like it but I found it a bit distracting. Even with that, I still had a 5 star experience. One other thing I would point out is dress on the warm side (they do have blankets if you forget) as it does get a bit cold even the end of August which is when we went on the tour.

Your 5 star review is much appreciated. Thank you and please consider Grand Canyon Jeep Tours & Safaris for your off-road experience to the edge of the Grand Canyon next time you visit. Happy Trails!
Best off-road adventure Grand Canyon South Rim
Judie_T, Aug 2023
By far one of the best tours of the Grand Canyon National Forest South Rim. I brought my mother who is 80 years old and it has been one of her dreams. The tour is great for all ages and the scenery is beautiful.

Liz_D, Aug 2023
Breathtaking! This has been on my bucket list for so long and it did not disappoint. Werner was our amazing tour guide, sharing personal stories in with all of the interesting facts of the area. He took us behind the scenes and to 3 different viewing spots. Awesome!

Keith_A, Aug 2023
Great tour, through Ponderosa Pine forest to get to Canyon. Our guide, Werner was a wealth of information. In addition to great Canyon Views, we also saw male and female Elk and Big Horn Sheep right along the edge of the Canyon. AMAZING!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Hello Keith. I will be sure to tell Werner that you had a wonderful time on his tour. Thank you for your five star review!
