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.

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! While at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park, you will have opportunities to walk the rim, shop, capture an unlimited number of photographs, or enjoy lunch (own expense) and relax with the best seat in the house.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this day trip on Sunday, February 4th. Our tour guide Cam has a deep passion and keen knowledge of the history, geology, flora and fauna of this diverse landscape. I didn’t know I would have a chance to add on the 45 minute helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon and was thrilled to have done it! Don’t wait like I did, just buy the trip with the flight included and save yourself $55 - to spend on “stuff”!!! The ability to get perspective from both the air and the ground adds so much to the experience. Our pilot Chris offered a great air tour too! The beauty of Sedona cannot be overlooked either- it’s just a pass through stop but a great addition.

I can't recommend this tour enough! In fact, I have talked you up since traveling with you. I took a small day tour of the Grand Canyon, expecting it to be a group of elderly people and me and I turned out to be the oldest on the tour! They picked me up at my hotel right on time.....with everyone yelling Hey Deb! as I got on, cracked me up! The tour was great, informative, fun and they thought of everything. Cold water was provided, lunch, a very personable young man driving the van......loved it and am now planning a Boston trip with them. DO THIS, YOU WILL LOVE IT!

Mark S was absolutely amazing. You haven’t had a proper tour until you’ve traveled with Detours and especially Mark. I’ve never met someone who truly cares more for his guests as much as he did for me and the others on the bus. God bless you, Mark S!
