Grand Canyon Jeep tours were recommended to us by Under Canvas, our glamping resort in Williams, AZ. We are generally well travelled and had no idea what to expect from this tour. We have been on a few guided tours and I have to say that I have never encountered a tour guide with more passion, motivation, expert knowledge, and humor in my entire life. Werner had a structured, yet very engaging approach and welcomed question after question throughout the 4 hour tour. His wealth of knowledge about the history, wildlife, native American culture, geology, activities and funny facts were absolutely impressive. This man is simply put the gold standard of tour guides. Werner, thank you! We will never forget you, nor the amazing tour you gave us. I can wholeheartedly recommend Grand Canyon Jeep Tours to anyone interested in really understanding the magic of the Grand Canyon! Frederic & Rosemary (Belgium/UK living in USA)

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Werner was our tour guide, he was very friendly & knowledgeable of GC geology & animal life. This tour has special access that takes you through a part of the Kaibab Forest where other tours aren’t allowed to go. We then toured some of the most scenic spots of the Grand Canyon. Werner had great recommendations on what to do/ trails to explore on the remainder of our trip which we greatly appreciated. This tour is for those looking to see the best parts of the GC without big crowds.
