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.

the tour was everything i expected and more. They kept you on time and got you back to your pickup spot at a reasonable hour. the food was really good from a vegetarians point of view and they had as much water as your heart desired. I was so thankful i didn't have to drive and could sit back and watch the landscape drastically change as we headed up north to the grand canyon. i was really happy i also didn't have to drive or find parking within the grand canyon national park. We went on a tuesday parking was very full as there is a lot of people in a small amount of space. i would highly recommend this tour. You are at the grand canyon for about three hours, although i could have stared at it all day long it was plenty of time to see different views snap some pictures and enjoy lunch overlooking the canyon.

This was our first visit to the Grand Canyon and it was wonderful! We decided to book a tour so that we wouldn't have to do so much driving. This also gave us the opportunity to view the scenery without worrying about exits, etc. Our driver was very knowledgeable and pointed out highlights of the area, as well as demographic information. The group consisted of 13 people plus the driver/guide. The picnic lunch was wonderful. We definitely want to visit again and plan to use Detours for future tours.
