What To Expect
1
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!

This was my second time to the Grand Canyon and using the Detours American West tour company was definitely the way to go! Aldo was our guide for the day and he was AMAZING! He picked us up at our hotel in a nice 13 passenger bus, then stopped at 3 other hotels to pick up the additional guests. The entire ride up, he shared information about the land and it's history. He listed many points of interest when we arrived at the Canyon. Plenty of time to explore, take pictures, and shop. The next stop in Williams, AZ for lunch was cute. Fast service at the restaurants and good photo op for those with a Route 66 interest. The trip back to Phoenix ended with a quick stop at the Pie Box and enjoyed a great slice of chocolate pie. Such a perfect way to end a lovely day trip. I enthusiastically and whole heartedly recommend Aldo and the Detours American West tour company.

Seeing the Grand Canyon makes this great day trip. Derek the guide takes it to five stars. He gave us a ton of information about Arizona and the Canyon. He was extremely knowledgeable. What a fantastic trip. It is an early start and a long day, but it is worth it.
