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.

We can not say enough about our trip to the Grand Canyon and our Tour guide Dan! The Grand Canyon is not to be missed and our tour guide Dan took us to spots we would have never found on our own. The vehicle is very comfortable and the lunch was very good! Thank you to Detours and Dan for a day we will not soon forget.

Our driver Billy did a fantastic job! A great day filled with beautiful views and informative commentary on the history and sites. Would highly recommend to anyone flying in to Phoenix. So nice to have some one else do the planning and driving and you could just sit back and enjoy the view!
