Description
Climb aboard for a spectacular South Rim experience. Explore the entire South Rim, venturing to Desert View Watchtower - the easternmost developed area of the Park.
Our local, expert guides will navigate the route taking you to the most exclusive look-outs and providing you with the best photo opportunities. Your entertaining guide will interpret the indigenous fauna and flora, and provide captivating geological and human history.
Travel in an open-air Jeep Wrangler and stop at many prominent vistas, some fairly remote the farther east you go. At the Desert View Watchtower be sure to look at the murals depicting scenes of local Indian culture. Then peer down thousands of feet and witness the mighty Colorado River where it curves and heads to the west. On a clear day, you can see over 100 miles.
A free ticket to the IMAX® Movie, "Grand Canyon: Rivers of Time," is included in your tour.
Due to new NPS guidance, non-US residents may be subject to an additional $100 entrance fee.

It was a total experience! From the time we purchased the packet (3hrs) to the end of the tour was nothing less the professional and fun! Our guide, William, was a tower of information! All the most beautiful stops with all the tidbits of info he knew made it extraordinary. I highly recommend the tour... just ask for William!

Great tour
Excellent tour, William was knowledgeable and very open to questions. Our only concern was that he started the tour by asking us to not discuss politics and religion (good idea). We quickly found out that did not pertain to him. Before we entered the park entrance he mentioned that higher gas prices were affecting park attendance. He also said that the new international entrance fee ($250) was because somebody is greedy. He also mentioned several times about there were numerous flooding that had occurred over time and not just "once" as some religions believe. Last but not least he mentioned that officially the park took 5 years to become a national park because back then the government "listened" to the people more.
Regardless of the political and religious views of William I would still recommend the company and him, just be prepared for his personal opinions.

Great guide, stunning views!
Great experience with a knowledgeable guide. Tour doesn’t start until you get through the traffic to check in at the park. The imax movie can be seen anytime that day. Enjoyed this!

Best morning of our vacation
First, everyone should visit the Grand Canyon once in their life if possible, absolutely amazing. What also was amazing was a tour operator. He knew absolutely EVERYTHING about the history of the GC. I believe his name was Jordan, definitely worth every penny of the tour. We were lucky enough to see his raven friends (huge birds!) and the four elk he liked to call the Golden Girls. I do want to mention (as it was listed in one small area, but not the title) that it is a Pink Adventure Tour. We did not see that in our reservation, but it is a lot easier to find if you know this. There are a few other tour companies so it took us a bit to find the one we booked.

Had a wonderful time on the Jeep Sunset Tour. Our guide, Darcie Davis, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable about the area, the history, the wildlife. She took us to some great stops and took many photos of us along the way. It was a 3 hour tour but the time never dragged, it seemed much shorter to us.
