Grand Canyon Tour

Beautiful and majestic sights. Our tour guide Shelia was awesome. She was very knowledgeable of the Grand Canyon history and sites. Got to see mule deers a bobcat and wild horses while on scenic tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2023

We were fortunate to have a private tour with Werner. The jeep was comfortable, Werner was extremely knowledgeable.
He even changed up the tour. Little and shared a couple of hidden gems. We loved the tour and tour guide!!
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you for your five star review. Like all of our guides, Werner loves to show the all the best points of the Grand Canyon to visitors. Thank you!
Amazing!
Alex_L, Mar 2023
Although everything about our experience was special, learning about the beauty in nature as well as it's dangers was the most memorable. For those who have never been to the Grand Canyon will enjoy this tour guide. Werner (Our wonderful tour guide) was able to not only guide us to amazing scenic views, but also explained and pointed out many trails and landmarks. I rate this tour and our guide Werner a 5 out of 5. Highly recommended.

Hats off to Sheila!!
steve_h, Mar 2023
We had a group of seven including 3 brothers, 1 sister and 2 of our wives. Everyone really enjoyed our time with Sheila , who was very informative as well as amusing! Due to the snow conditions and road closures at the time of our trip ,she had to change things up a bit, but she squeezed in some extra stops in other places and her knowledge of the area , kept us all extremely engaged .
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hello Steve. I will be sure to pass your complimentary words along to Sheila. We are happy yo enjoyed your tour with Grand Canyon Jeep Tours & Safaris!
Grand & Majestic
Virginia_B, Oct 2022
We had such a fantastic time exploring The Grand Canyon with our guide. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He shared some personal photos with us and had some pretty neat stories to share with us which we enjoyed. The Grand Canyon was most definitely grand and so beautiful! We were in awe of the majesty and wonder of the landscape. It was breathtaking! I took so many photos of the Grand Canyon but you just cannot capture the grandness of this place...I sure tried though.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Hello Virginia. Thank you for your awesome review of our Grand Canyon Safari & Rim Walk tour. Your kind words are much appreciated!
Magnificent Views
Nancy_C, Oct 2022
We were very happy with this Jeep tour. It was front-facing as opposed to the pink jeep yours. Our guide was very knowledgeable and even threw in an extra stop on our way back. I highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Thank you for your stellar review. We are the longest running (since 1993), family owned tour at the Grand Canyon. Over the years we have developed a custom tour vehicle that has stadium style forward facing bucket seats for the best viewing of the Kaibab Forest and Grand Canyon. Your positive feedback is much appreciated!
Shelia was a great guide...
Willie_S, Sep 2022

Sheila is an outstanding guide for Grand Canyon Jeep Tours & Safaris. Thank you for your review!
Werner is Awesome!
Michelle_P, Sep 2022
Our jeep excursion with Werner was fantastic! The guide on a trip like this can make or break it and we were so fortunate to have him as our guide and a beautiful sunny day.
Werner customized our excursion because we were the only guests for that trip and we appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed his enthusiasm and knowledge of Grand Canyon, history of the park, wildlife and personal stories/experience of his years as a guide.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hi Michelle. Thank you for your five star review of Grand Canyon Jeep Tours & Safaris and your guide Werner. Happy Trails!

Unforgettable Grand Canyon experience
Douglas_K, Aug 2022
This tour made our Grand Canyon visit worthwhile. A friend told me, “My hot take on the GC is it’s amazing for 15 minutes and then you’re done.” Not when you take this tour. We saw parts of the area we would never have found on our own and learned so much. We also got to bypass the wait at the gate, the only tour company allowed to do that. Our guide, Werner, was both polished and personal, sharing relevant stories of his life there and even multiple pictures that showed us what life was like there now and in the past. He also knew the best spots for pictures and took some for us. The vehicle was roomy and comfortable and we were given blankets when it got a bit chilly. You may look at the cost and say it’s too much money, but if you’re going out of your way to visit the Grand Canyon, take the extra time and money to get a full, memorable experience through this tour! And at three hours in length, you’ll still have enough time to explore on your own.
