What To Expect
1
Phoenix
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.

Sedona
Enjoy a brief visit to the stunning red rocks of Sedona! After a photo stop at Bell Rock, you'll have approximately 30 minutes in Uptown to enjoy the shops and galleries while surrounded by the beautiful views. You'll also experience the scenic drive through Oak Creek Canyon!
3
Grand Canyon South Rim
You’ll experience approximately 2.5 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 (these viewpoints are subject to change), the Geology Museum and more incredible viewpoints!

Detours was the tour organiser and Tracey was our guide and driver for a lovely day! We had an early pick up from a hotel in Scottsdale in a comfortable van with a small group of travellers. Tracey was a great fund of knowledge and throughout our tour we had enough comfort stops! Unfortunately when we arrived at the Grand Canyon there was a heavy snow shower. Luckily Tracey led us to a great view point and then we were able to have a snack at the Village. The snow disappeared and Tracey led us to a series of view points which were spectacular! We then proceeded to travel to Sedona which was lovely and the views of the rocks were great. I would love to return to stay in the town one day! All in all it was a great day out and would highly recommend Tracey as a guide and Detours as the tour organiser. Thanks again

Bruce picked us up at the hotel exactly when scheduled. He made quick work getting to the Grand Canyon and gave us lots of good information throughout the trip. I would highly recommend booking this excursion.
