We had an excellent trip - great guide - and made some new friends from across the country and England, too.

Anne M, Jun 2017

I really enjoyed this tour, it was my first tour from Las Vegas and so good to get out of the heat and hectic feel of Las vegas for a day. It was a long drive, but well worth it. Driver and guide, Bob was really helpful. I was on my own, so it was great that he took photos for us all day. The views were amazing, although I was horrified to see some people climbing out onto rocks for photo opportunities - so dangerous. there were five people on our tour and the pink jeep was very comfortable. Breakfast and lunch were provided - very good. We had lunch at Grand Canyon Village, where the weather was glorious. There are some interesting gift shops and a walk along the edge of the canyon. I would have loved a little more time here, but had a great day. Bob had great stories about the desert and as this was my first trip, he really brought the desert alive for me - on my other trips I was able to appreciate it much more than I would have done. I also went to the Grand Canyon West Rim on another trip - the drive is much shorter to the West Rim, but I enjoyed them equally. They were quite different, so there was no feeling of already having done it. If you have less time either trip is great.

Robert K, Jun 2016

Although this tour is a long drive to/from the Grand Canyon/Las Vegas, our driver Tom was very knowledgeable, informative, and interesting, and made the drive enjoyable. This tour provided several amazing vantage points to view the South Rim. We really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it.

eeyore_cutie_pie, Jan 2015

Our driver from the local tour operator was punctual and kind. He narrated the entire trip to the canyon and he gave us all the tips on how to stay safe. He gave us trivia, not only about the canyon, but also about the endless things to do in the Las Vegas area. He kept us entertained with fun facts, music, and videos. We stopped several times on the way to stretch our legs, use the restroom, get souvenirs, take photos, etc. We were fed a basic, but delicious deli lunch. The ride was extremely comfortable. Upon arriving at the canyon we were taken to stunning view points. Our driver was very knowledgeable and made the best use of our time. We never felt rushed, and really were able to soak in the awe-inspiring views.

Steven G, Jan 2015

Well worth every penny. Instead of being dumped off a bus and told where and when to return, you are directed to the best views and most interesting sites by a very knowledgable guide. My guide new a great deal about the geology, flora and fauna as well as history of the Grand Canyon.

Susan R, Oct 2012

My family and I (there were four of us) thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The Tour Trekker was really comfortable - it was good to be able to sit back and enjoy the trip and let someone else do the driving. It was great being part of a group of only 10 people. The tour was much more personalised and the guide made the trip really enjoyable. We were able to see places that you just don't get to see when you are on a large bus. We have done both types of tour to the Southern rim - large bus and Pink Jeep, and the Pink Jeep tour was the best by far!! Will definitely go exploring with them again on our next trip to the USA.

Jenny C, Mar 2012

If you have to do this trip in a day, would highly recommend Pink Jeep Tours. A light breakfast was waiting for us when we got on the bus and an endless supply of water was available. It is a very long day but we felt we got real value out of it. Our guide Jurgen was vey aware of having us spend as much time as possible exploring the Canyon so lunch was organised very quickly and efficiently with desert given to us to enjoy on the way home. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Thanks Jurgen for a great day.

Absolutely wonderful. Great guide...

Sandra P, May 2011

Absolutely wonderful. Great guide, well informed and personable. On time and a comfortable and very special vehicle (the jeep is more an SUV). A special lunch with a view and delicious menu with dessert. Long day, but worth it.

Une journée de rêve dans un endroit...

Nancy M, Dec 2014

Une journée de rêve dans un endroit majestueux. Pour nous ce fut une journée magique avec un guide tellement passionné de son métier et surtout tellement passionné du Grand Canyon. Service des plus personnalisé, car nous étions un petit groupe de seulement 4 personnes. Nourriture délicieuse en quantité plus que suffisante. Les divers endroits visités dans le Grand Canyon nous ont permis de découvrir des paysages à couper le souffle, d'une beauté indescriptible. Je le recommande à tous!
