Fantastic trip, great price, everything ran smoothly from booking on line, to dropping the car back. Couldn't have asked for a better value for money day out

The trip was wonderful and the view spectacular. I enjoyed the opportunity to spend as much time at one location as we wanted and not being rushed along on a pre-planned schedule. The people were great and the food at Guano Point was excellent. There was more food than I expected and it was delicious.

This is the best way to go. The SUV drive yourself from Vegas allows you to be in total comfort and to get there in your own time. We did the Helicopter, Sky Walk and Boat ride as well which was great. Lunch at the ranch was also great qualtity. All booked through Viator.

A good alternative to flying if you have a set budget. You can stay as long as you like and get to see a bit more of the area. The Skywalk is great so don't miss it.

The trip was excellent. It would have been nice to know that the road went from pavement to rough road with buffalo scattered about. The directions provided by the neverlost system were incorrect and the written directions were not much better. All-in-all, we would do it again and recommend the trip to everyone.

Fantastic day out. The 'off-road' experience was brilliant driving along a 14 mile stretch of unmade road. The Hertz never-lost system did exactly what it says on the tin! Would recommend to anyone who likes to drive. Huge 7-seater SUV

Brilliant tour bit scary driving for the first time but soon got used to it, there is some amazing scenery to see on the way! The car wasn't as good as I thought, but was ok! I would highly recommend this trip but take the coach if your not confident in the drive. Top marks.

Pros: Incredibly nice staff at the rental car agency. No lines at any of the Grand Canyon attractions. Skywalk was a great experience. Guano Point was good. Cons: Additional charges for gas and insurance. Buffet food at the Grand Canyon sites was not good. No pictures on the Skywalk. No GPS in vehicle. The Hummer that everyone writes about on here was not even an option.

The drive to the Canyon was closer to Vegas than I thought -- only 2 1/2 hours. It was breathtaking. The helicopter ride was a blast, and the Escalade was very comfortable. Being able to schedule our own time at the stops was priceless to us! We all enjoyed the Skywalk and got some excellent photos.

_strong_Note from Viator:_/strong_ Please note: Hummers are no longer offered on this tour package.

Review by: Norene G	October 2008
We are 4 girlfriends who decided to take a self-drive tour...what fun...we all shared the wheel separately I might add to drive there and back. People were friendly, canyon was easy to find. We even had the hummer over night in Vegas - how cool is that, so we decided to drive to the old Vegas Fremont experience. Would definitely recommend. I would definitely do this again, and maybe go off route and explore more. We did not see too much wild life, and would have loved more, but maybe it was the time of year Weather was coolish, so we all ended up buying the same sweatshirts....check out our pics.

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.

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!

_strong_Note from Viator:_/strong_ 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.

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!

Review by: Anonymous	April 2007
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.

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! _br /__br /_ 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.
