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!

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!

It was a great opportunity to see the Grand Canyon if you are staying in Phoenix and don’t want to do the driving yourself. Aldo was an amazing tour guide and we got excellent views and information on the way. The only thing is if you actually desire to hike and explore the grand canyon there won’t be enough time since you are going with a group that just came to take pictures. We were only there for 2 hours top :(

Hi Jasmine, We're glad you loved Aldo and the Grand Canyon. Because of the time it takes to get from Phoenix to Grand Canyon, there really isn't time for hiking. We make sure to not advertise hiking as an option so our guests are clear on what is available for them at the Grand Canyon. We do thank you for touring with DETOURS and hope you got some amazing photos. Thank you, Rachel

They gave us an hour to do whatever we wanted at williams and at the grand canyon. On the way back we stopped at 6 overlook sites for 10-15 minutes each to get another angle of the grand canyon and in case we wanted anymore photos. I went solo and I thought it was a lot of fun

This is the perfect way to see the Grand Canyon in one day without a car. The guide was great, added stops along the way to the canyon and made it a really fun filled day. We got home around 6:30pm and still were able to have a night on the town in Phoenix!!!
