Amazing experience. Definitely the best way to see the Grand Canyon; you have the freedom to do it at your own pace. Excellent organisation, easy to follow directions, good reliable vehicles. Fabulous day out.

My new husband had never been to Las Vegas or the Grand Canyon. This was our honeymoon, and we decided to make the most of it with the this day trip. Right move, as it was highlight of our trip, and we totally loved the Hummer on the rough road towards the Grand Canyon. We were picked up at our hotel promptly at 7:30 a.m., and we really liked this. We were given great directions and maps. We would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience we had on our honeymoon.

Really good; great to have the satellite navigation. The Grand Canyon was awesome. Slight letdown was the food served there--definitely not a highlight.

Everyone should book this trip! It's well worth it! My fiance and I had such a great time, with no worries since every detail was already planned. Also, having the Hummer for 24 hours allows for much more traveling and exploring.

This was absolutely fantastic, and I would recommend it to anyone. You can go at your own pace and stop along the way at the Hoover Dam, something you couldn't do if you flew there in a helicopter. If you really want the experience of driving an American 4x4, you have to opt for the H2. The H3 is considerably smaller and doesn't have the V8. You also get the vehicle for 24 hours, so when you get back you can drive up the Strip and take advantage of the freedom. Realistically, you should allow just over 2 hours to get to the Grand Canyon, but the drive is great fun. This really was a great day out and an experience we will never forget.

Highlight of the holiday!! From when we picked up the hummer til we dropped it off there was not a hitch, well apart from hummer having no sat nav but directions were very easy 2 follow and the roads very easy 2 drive on!! An early start is recommended, this means you can stop off at Hoover Dam and not be rushed. We also booked the helicopter and boat trip at the Grand Canyon and are so glad we did, FANTASTIC!

Great trip, very enjoyable. We had to chase for confirmation of our pick up time but the call back was quick and responsive. On arrival we were very well briefed but advised that no GPS units were left. However when I said I wasn't happy this they duly dug one out. The drive itself is very easy, about 2 and a half hours in total 1 way, stopping time at the dam. All very do-able in one day. Dirt track is great fun with the hummer and the food at Guano Point was very acceptable, it ain't 5 star but if your expecting that then you shouldn't be on the trip, its simple home style cooking with an Amercian twist.
Id definitely recommend this trip, we did it in 115 degrees heat too and this didn't cause us any issues at all. The Grand Canyon is amazing. Even if the West side isn't the most popular bear in mind the more popular south side is a 5 hour drive from Las Vegas. DO IT!

We brought our eleven year old son with us to show him the Grand Canyon. It was spectacular! He loved it as much as we did!

This is an excellent trip. Our pick up was 9am which is just as well as the trip is a full day out. I can strongly recommend the H2 hummer over the H3, the latter being a lot more like a standard 4x4 with a hummer body kit, whereas the H2 is a genuine beast. The drive to the Grand Canyon is long - bank on at least 2.5 hours, more if you have a queue getting over the Hoover Dam. However, it is great fun, especially the last 15 miles on the dirt track, driving at 50 mph and overtaking normal cars who can't go much more than 15mph!
Once you arrive at the canyon you get a bus around the main sights the extra 20 to park there is annoying. We took in Eagle Point first where the skywalk is - note they don't let you take cameras on it. This was terrific, but overall I preferred Guano Point, which is more scenic, and feels much wilder. There are no cordons preventing you walking up to the edge of the canyon and you can have fun on the scrambling to the top of the point. We ate here using the voucher - food fine, and very pleasant eating on picnic tables on the edge of the canyon.
The West Rim development feels very new and uncrowded still. Once they pave the road/extend the airport I suspect things will not be so pleasant. Worth stopping for photos at the Hoover Dam on the way back, crowds are less at that time of the day. Overall, this was the best part of our holiday and comes highly recommended. My only real gripe was the booking processgetting precise details out about the tour. However, this was still an excellent trip.

Absolutely loved it. My wife and I were there for our wedding/honeymoon. We enjoyed so much. The Grand Canyon was beautiful. The skywalk was an experience. The directions were easy to follow and you definitely need to start early to have time to see everything.

Perfect day out! This trip has lots of brilliant aspects. Firstly you have the great Hummer H2 to drive around in (at your leisure, one of my favourite points). Secondly, you get to see the amazing route of Nevada / Arizona pictured just like in the films and you get to see the Hoover Dam en-route! Thirdly, the Grand Canyon is amazing once you get there. You get three fun trips in one! The food at the Canyon ranch was like homemade and plentiful. The route is very easy too. At the Grand Canyon Ranch we got to ride horses. The morning pickup was prompt and a very nice car. The representative was also very helpful. Finally, not only do you get to do all of this, you keep the car for the entire 24 hours, so good fun driving the Strip at night. Having booked via Viator, this allows you to skip some waiting lines at the Canyon. This trip is as good as it sounds!

This was a great day out. Everything was well organized from pick up to drop off. We really enjoyed the freedom of driving ourselves but took comfort in the backup of a satellite navigation system.

This was one of the highlights of our trip! We loved the Hummer; the representative who gave us directions was very informative, and his directions were excellent. He was friendly and gave us much appreciated tips. In all, he was superb, as was the whole experience!! We had everything booked, from the Skywalk to the helicopter ride and boat trip, and walked straight from one to the other with no hassle at all. The car rental was hassle-free, and we cannot recommend this service enough.
