Pink Jeep Tours’ Guides
Guide training at Pink Jeep Tours Las Vegas is highly selective and rigorous. And that’s just the driving part. You can be confident that your guide is more than capable of handling your vehicle under any conditions. And you can be assured that all of our guides are certified in CPR and First Aid.
Training doesn’t stop there. Most Pink Jeep Tour guides are certified as Interpretive Guides (CIG). The National Association for Interpretation (NAI) offers a credential for tour guides after successfully completing their intensive 32-hour course. Through the prestigious CIG certification process our guides deepen their commitment as stewards of the land and excellent storytellers!
We are also pleased to announce that an exceptionally well-respected international driver safety program was initiated for the guides. Used by such well-known fleets as FedEx and UPS, the Smith System was founded by Harold Smith in 1952. Sixty years later the course is offered in 100 countries and 21 languages. The Smith System is now a requirement for all Pink Jeep Tour guides.
Brimming with facts and discoveries about the history, geology, fauna and flora, your guide will bring to life—through stories and interpretation, this magnificent natural wilderness area.
Investing in the continuing education of our tour guides is a company ethic. We want you to have the best tour experience possible. If what you hear and see on the tour like the West Rim of the Grand Canyon’s breathtaking Skywalk inspires you and you come away with a renewed appreciation for raw nature, or the man-made marvels of the Hoover Dam, then we have done our job!
Let’s not forget that your guides are also fun! They love people and can’t wait to tell you what they know. Questions are always encouraged! They all have a passion for nature and an unending curiosity for life… and it shows. Check out some of our guide reviews.
In the short time you’ll spend together you may just become fast friends!
Meet a few of our Guides!
 | Name: Tami How long have you been a Pink Jeep Guide? 1 year. What was my previous Residence and Occupation? I moved to Las Vegas from Southern Illinois. I owned my own landscape design business. What is your Pink Jeep story? My daughter and I took a tour of Italy and we went on a guided tour. When I came back to Vegas the next day I saw several Pink Jeeps on the road and the light bulb went off. What is your favorite Pink Jeep Location? Valley of Fire and my favorite stop is at Rainbow Vista. The colors there are so beautiful and I’m truly amazed each time I see them. What is your most memorable Pink Jeep experience? Believe it or not in 8 months I have had so many! But what I remember most is the connection I have with people from all over the world. And for a few hours I’m able to show them this beautiful place while learning about their culture. Favorite Factoid – The “King Clone” Creosote bush ring is thought to be the oldest Creosote bush ring in the Mohave Desert and is estimated to be 11,700 years old! |
 | Name: Bobby How long have you been a Pink Jeep Guide? 2 years. What was your previous Residence and Occupation? I was born and raised in Mesa, AZ. In Mesa, I worked for a company that took guests out in the desert and taught them survival skills and how to live off the land. What is your Pink Jeep story? My wife was raised in Las Vegas and her family is here. We moved here in 2006 and I saw an ad that Pink Jeep Tours was hiring tour guides. I sent in a resume and the rest is history. What is your most memorable Pink Jeep experience? I took a wonderful couple to Grand Canyon West. I really like to take pictures of my guests and I usually ask my guests to kiss in the photos, and they thought it was a great idea. All day long they had so much fun posing for the photos. I was so happy I could be part of their happiness. Favorite Factoid – There is enough concrete in Hoover Dam to build a four foot sidewalk four inches thick around the equator of the earth. |
 | Name: Suzanne How many years at Pink Jeep? 3 years. How would you describe your job? Being a tour guide involves wearing many hats. You are an ambassador for not only Pink Jeep Tours but for Las Vegas and the great state of Nevada. You need to be educated, entertaining, organized and a very positive person. How does this job differ from previous work you’ve done? This is not a time-clock type of job. No two days are ever the same. The guests that are with you that day, the weather, the wildlife you may see that day all create a very different and memorable experience. What do you like most about your job? I love being a very real part of a person’s vacation in Las Vegas. It’s wonderful to think that a few years later after taking their Pink Jeep tour, a guest may remember some fact I shared on tour or view a photo that we photographed together. Tell us a memorable experience while on tour? - I once had a retired geology professor from the U.K. that I took to Death Valley. She had retired early after being diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. She had only looked at pictures in textbooks for 20 years of Death Valley. Each viewpoint that we stopped at she cried. She never thought that she would see these places that she had studied and had taught her students about. It was very moving. |
 | Name: Robert How long have you been with Pink Jeep? 2 years. What was your previous residence and occupancy? Southern New Hampshire. I was a small business owner. What is your Pink Jeep story? My true passion is for the outdoors and I had a curiosity of the Nevada Western territory, in addition I kept wondering where in the heck were all those pink jeeps going? What is your favorite Pink Jeep tour? My favorite tour is the Grand Canyon West Rim plus Hoover Dam Combo tour. We are the only tour company that offers this unique combination tour that provides so much in one tour to our guests. What is your favorite factoid? Frank Crowe was the Chief Engineer for the Hoover Dam. He was the superintendent of Six Companies, the construction company that built Hoover Dam. After completing Hoover Dam, Frank Crowe went on to build Parker Dam, Copper Basin, and Glen Wash Dam and his last dam was Shasta Dam. All of these dams were important, but none approached the mystic scale or mystique of Hoover Dam. |
 | Name: Mike How many years at Pink Jeep? 11 years. What is your previous residence and occupancy? I have had the pleasure of living several places while working for Caterpillar in operational management. What is your Pink Jeep story? I have always spent most of my leisure time out in nature, camping, etc. It is such a joy to have a job that let’s me share fabulous Southwest adventures with my guests. What is your favorite Pink Jeep location? I love Toroweap because it is the most remote and unique Grand Canyon location. It is so remote that you usually have your own private Grand Canyon tour when you are there. This is truly an experience that few people have even been lucky enough to enjoy. What is your most memorable Pink Jeep experience? I was at the Grand Canyon South Rim at one of our stops called Mather Point, when we had a bull elk and 4 cow elk that were feeding walk among my guests. Wow what pictures! |
 | Name: Jerry How long have you been a Pink Jeep Guide? 9 years What was your previous Residence and Occupation? I was born and raised in Southern CA and I moved to Las Vegas 9 years ago. I previously worked in the sales and marketing tourism industry. What is your Pink Jeep story? I was “in between” jobs and at that time my wife was working. This of course meant I had to do the cooking. I am a much better eater than a cook. I saw an ad for guides placed by Pink Jeep Tours. I thought that sounded like a fun job. Here I am 8 years later having a great time helping guests to experience the natural side of Las Vegas. What is your favorite Pink Jeep Location? My guests ask me this question often. I always reply ‘what tour were we on today?’ They think I’m joking but I’m serious! I really do enjoy all tours with my guests. All tours are unique: different people, different experience. What is your most memorable Pink Jeep experience? It was going on a group tour with 20 of our Trekker vehicles to the Grand Canyon with 200 guests. What a fun day! Favorite Factoid –That there are over 300 named mountain ranges in Nevada, including 51 peaks over 9000 ft. (2743 meters) above sea level. |
Thank you again for visiting with us. We hope you choose Pink Jeep Tours to experience the natural side of Las Vegas.
