Self drive hummer was awesome and made our trip to Las Vegas extra special.

The whole trip was wonderful! We actually skipped the buffet and did the helicopter pontoon boat ride. The staff was so warm and friendly! I'm going to recommend this to everyone!

Brilliant way to see the Grand Canyon, the Hummer drive was great fun and it was good to have our own timetable. We did the Skywalk which was brilliant, awesome views, and we also did the optional helicopter/boat which was fantastic. My first time in a helicopter so a little scary but well worth it and very exciting.

Excellent tour. We loved going at our on pace, in the Hummer of course!

Awesome Adventure! Loved driving the hummer (not nearly as scary as I thought it would be) - the only way to comfortably drive the 14 mile dirt road near the rim. Driving ourselves was a great way to go as it gave us the time to enjoy the beauty of the canyon - and the magnificent Skywalk - without rushing to meet a bus to get back to Las Vegas. We were picked up, taken to the rental place, given drinks for the ride, a map and our vouchers for the west rim. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone going to the Grand Canyon!

Driving a hummer is an experience of its own. It was the perfect vehicle for our journey to the Grand Canyon - easy and fun to drive, the experience would not have been the same without it...It has to be part of the package!
The Grand Canyon was just wonderful. It feels like leaving civilisation to enter a whole new world. Being there was just amazing and helicopter flight, off road hummer tour and Skywalk just add what it needs to be mind-blowing.
We were 2 people from Spain. The service is nice, the trip amazing. Hummer is a bit smaller than I imagined but is a wonderful experience. Be careful with the gas. Thanks a lot, and I will recommend Viator.

Hummer trip was fun but Las Vegas was too hot for us!

First off, you'll be given an H3 unless you upgrade to an H2. The best thing about this tour is that you can go at your own pace and stop when and where you want to. If you get back early, be sure to keep the Hummer for the full twenty four hours and drive yourself around.

You are not tied to a group, you can sightsee at your own pace and you can also visit Hoover Dam on your way to or from the Grand Canyon as we did. It was like car hire but only with so many extras included. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Having the hummer for 24 hours meant that after our trip we could use it to go visit Fremont street and/or other hotels not in walking distance. Coming from the UK it is likely that I will never get to drive a hummer on a dirt road. It was a fantastic experience and lots of fun especially when you pass normal cars trying to work their way on the dirt roads. 5 stars for total service.

We booked the Hummer after seeing it advertised on the net, and to be honest we were a bit nervous about booking it off our own back. But I will say that once we met up with the Hummer, we were totally at ease. The sat nav was perfect, and we had emergency numbers and water. Everything was very helpful and clear. I loved the driving, maybe a little too much as I was stopped for speeding, so be careful. What I will say is that as we were only in Vegas for a few days, we tried to rush the Grand Canyon trip. We booked to do the Skywalk at the West Rim and were only there for half an hour as we had booked up stuff in Vegas that evening. In all, we left Vegas at 11am--way too late--stopped at the Hoover Dam and then went on to the canyon and were back back for 7pm. You need to leave a lot earlier to experience all the sights that you can see on this trip. All in all, if you love driving you will love this.

The HUMMER was real fun to drive. It's the way to go especially because there are about 6 miles of winding dirt road. Make sure you specify you want an H2 when you book. Grand Canyon is OK. Never been but it's basically just a huge hole in the ground. But the U Drive Tour was the way to go, you don't have to wait for a bus or other tourists. 4 stars for the H2 and 3 stars for the Grand Canyon.

Just wanted to say it was all great, excellent service etc and we would thoroughly recommend. Only downside as far as we were concerned was that we were not provided with any map/details for the return journey. Got lost in Vegas as we couldn't turn right on to Paradise where we needed to return the hummer too. Took us 2 hours to find it. Not good after a very long day.
Reviewed by: Lynda B, United Kingdom, April 2008 Note from Viator: Thanks for your feedback. It can be tricky, but all the cars have GPS which is set for you and you can switch it to reverse direction for the trip back to Las Vegas. We will follow up with our operator and make sure that all customers are notified so that they can find their way back to Las Vegas more quickly.
We very much enjoyed our day off from Vegas and our drive to the West Rim. The hummer worked perfect and the two and a half hour drive to the Skywalk walk was actually a lot of fun. We spent about 3-4 hours visiting the area and had a great time.

The hummer drive and view from the Grand Canyon was awesome. However, the lunch, Native American village and ranch left much to be desired. Still, it was a good value for the money.
