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.

Our driver Dan did a great job. A long day, but right on time all the way and a well informed commentary. The helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon simply unforgettable.

Our guide Mike was very informative and friendly, and a great driver! We stopped in the amazing town of Sedona for a short break, then the spectacular Grand Canyon from what has to be one of the best vantage points for an overall view. We thoroughly enjoyed our day! Great job Mike and Detour!!

This company is great! We had an awesome tour guide, Billy. He was right on time and we kept right on schedule.. and he had lots of good information along the ride. The company was nice enough to call and let us know that the weather might not be good on the day we picked, so asked if we would like to go the next day. The only thing that we would change, is it would be nice to have a longer time in Sedona(say 90 minutes vs. 20), not stop in Murray in Route 66, and have only 1 stop on the south rim, so that we would have had more time to do a little hiking down the Angel Trail. But all that being said, these guys are great.
