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.

He will assist you in anyway in can help you. Thanks again Alel, for allowing me to see and experience one of the things that’s been on my bucket list.

My trip to Arizona was just to visit the Grand canyon and I booked this tour but my tour was cancelled. There was an accident and the highway was closed but all other tour companies took a different route and didn't cancel except this company. If it wasn't for a wonderful family that I mate in the car, who rented a car after an awful couple of hours on the road and the cancellation news, I wouldn't have visited the Grand canyon. A lot of other people in the car had only that day to visit the Grand canyon and it's really sad they didn't get a chance to visit it because of this company's decision to cancel. That was very inconsiderate. Everyone was giving them an idea on how they can continue the tour, everyone was willing to put the extra hours, cancel some stops, reduce the visit hours and so on but no they couldn't listen to any of that. If other tour companies didn't go through, we could have said there's nothing they can do about it but others did the tour successfully and we got back and rented a car and visited. I was fortunate to meet these awesome family who made that happen to me but a lot of others didn't get that chance just because of this company's decision.

We understand the frustration with the road closure. Any route other than the 17 north to Grand Canyon adds too many miles to an already long day. With overcrowding on any alternate routes, on a holiday weekend, we chose the safer option for our guests and guides.
