This was one of my favorite things I've ever done! Sheila was the BEST - she made our group laugh so much and taught us all about the land. We stopped at so many breathtaking points along the canyon, took photos, and got amazing history lessons and stories. The final stop (the actual sunset on the canyon) was unlike anything I've ever seen before. I would 10/10 recommend this to anyone visiting the Grand Canyon.
Thank you so much for your 5-Star review of Grand Canyon Jeep Tours & Safaris, our Grand Sunset Tour and your superb guide Sheila. We are truly appreciative that you would recommend our tour to future Grand Canyon visitors and that you thought our excursion was well worth your money. Happy Trails!
Just excellent. Guide was easygoing and very knowledgeable. We got to see much of the forest, and several canyon overlooks. Guide was Ri and he did not rush us at all.
Hello Laura. Thank you for for touring with Grand Canyon Jeep Tours & Safaris. I will let Ri know about your complimentary words. We are thrilled that you thought our excursion was excellent. Cheers!
Well worth the cost and more! It’s 3 hours of riding in a covered jeep with an excellent guide. Kid friendly. There are several stops to get out for beautiful views. The drive is through forests and also along the canyon rim. Colleen was a superb guide. She is so personable and knowledgeable about the area and shows an obvious love for the land. We drove through the Kaibab forest and into the Grand Canyon park. The highlight was the magnificent sunset time at Grandview Point for about 30 minutes, and it was absolutely the highlight. Highly recommend this tour and guide!

This was a lot of fun! The guide had blankets for us too bc it got cold after the sunset. My 85 year old mom enjoyed it to and the guide was great about helping her up the steps to the vehicle.

Our sunset tour of the Grand Canyon was absolutely unforgettable, and a huge part of that was our guide, Ri! From the moment we started, Ri kept everyone entertained with his great sense of humor while sharing fascinating facts about the Grand Canyon, its history, geology, and wildlife. He made every stop interesting and engaging, and you could tell he genuinely loves what he does. The sunset views were breathtaking, and Ri knew all the best spots for photos and made sure everyone had time to soak in the incredible scenery. He was friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and made the entire experience fun from start to finish. If you're planning a Grand Canyon sunset tour, I highly recommend asking for Ri. He turned an amazing destination into an extraordinary experience. Thank you, Ri, for making this a memory we'll never forget!
