    Despite the terrible weather, this tour was awesome. Werner was our tour guide and was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. The access that this tour company provides to bypass the front gate is a real perk with this tour....you also get the off-road experience as you are not on paved roads for part of the trip. We had terrible weather but it actually made the views more mysterious.....would take this tour again!

    The knowledge, enthusiasm and kindness of our tour guide, Werner, made this a great tour. It was clear he enjoyed what he does. The backroads getting into the park were great. Overall, extremely happy with this experience!

    The guide, Werner, was absolutely incredible! So friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. Highly recommend! This was my first visit to the Grand Canyon and I learned so much and even though I am terribly afraid of heights, Werner was fantastic about where to go (step) and not push too far (ha ha on the pun) my limitations!

    The company is located in Tusayan AZ just outside the main gate of the Grand Canyon National Park. They have a lot of vehicles that are clean, open to the outside, with roll down clear windows, and blankets for the ride home when it’s cold! Our guide was Werner, a native of Germany, who moved here more than a dozen years ago after originally coming for a 2 week vacation!!! He is so knowledgeable about the park, the Canyons history, the plants, the different Indian tribes of the canyon, and all the main sights. The Grand Canyon Jeep and Safari Tour Co is the only one with back road access so we entered the park through an off road entrance and winded our way to the Grand Canyon Village. The tour was amazing and we ended up at Grand View Point which was where the 1st main hotel was located in the late 1800’s. We spent the Golden Hour there and watched an AMAZING sunset. The sky goes from blue to pink to yellow to orange to purple the further the sun goes down. It’s amazing how the entire canyon changes as the sun sets, the shadows creep in and the colors take over!! A great company, a fantastic guide, and an unforgettable sunset!!!!!!
