What To Expect

Route 66

After departing the Phoenix metro area, our tour travels through the expansive Sonoran Desert filled with the native saguaro cactus. The scenery begins to change as we increase in elevation and views of the cactus fade into pine trees. As we continue further into Northern Arizona, we will travel the outskirts of the Route 66 town of Flagstaff and from the highway, see the San Francisco Peaks among the seemingly endless Ponderosa Pine Forest, the largest contiguous forest of ponderosa pines in the world.

Williams Depot

Williams will be our first stop along the tour for a chance to experience Route 66, the iconic American highway steeped in rich tradition. While in Williams, guests will have the opportunity to “get their kicks on Route 66” with walks along the original route, explore the local shops and capture souvenir photos highlighting a bygone era in classic American history. Also known as the Will Rodgers Highway, Route 66 is the most recognizable road in the United States and stretched 2,448 miles from Chicago to California upon completion.

Grand Canyon South Rim

You’ll experience approximately three hours within the National Park marveling at the beauty that is the Grand Canyon. You will be driven to viewpoints as well as have free time to walk to various viewpoints and points of interest. Visit the historic El Tovar Lodge, Hopi House, Mather Point or Yavapai Point, the Geology Museum and more incredible viewpoints! While at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park, you will have opportunities to walk the rim, shop, capture an unlimited number of photographs, or enjoy lunch (own expense) and relax with the best seat in the house.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Great experience! Mark, our guide, was very knowledgeable about different aspects of Arizona and our group had a lot of fun. I felt like it was a great value for the experience you’re receiving!

It was a long day, but so worth it. The tour offers convenient pick up spots based on passengers locations, but we got lucky that the spot was our hotel. First big stop was Williams where we got to walk around the cute little town, shop around, and see the original Route 66. Next, some people were dropped off at the Grand Canyon airport for their helicopter tour and the rest were brought to the canyon to begin our hike. There we got 3 hours to hike, explore, shop, and eat lunch. After that our guide took us to couple other overview spots, all with phenomenal panoramic views of the canyon. Our guide Mark was great from start to finish, full of knowledge and funny snarky jokes. The only drawback to the tour overall is the fact that there were limited options for lunch. We picked up bagel sandwiches from our stop in Williams, but the canyon itself had nothing more than snacks. The driver will warn you at the start of the trip about this, so make sure you take it seriously, especially if you have dietary restrictions.

While most of our tours are full day tours, our guides do an excellent job with filling the ride up with interesting facts and historic knowledge of not only the National Park itself, but plenty of Arizona! We do the best we can when it comes to lunch on the road. Fortunately, we welcome guests to bring their own lunch if they so desire! Especially for those with dietary restrictions. Best, Nathan DETOURS

Our guide Robert was excellent-very knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. We had never been to the Grand Canyon before and are glad we did this. It is a LONG day from Phoenix. From pick up to drop off was about 13 hours. He made plenty of pit stops. Our group was 10 people. Check the weather there before you pack for your trip. I didn't. While Phoenix was in the 60s, the Grand Canyon was low 40s and very windy. Wish we would have packed warmer clothes.
