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.

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

Our first time in Phoenix and with limited time we booked this trip. We went on Monday January 29th. The tour company was Detours and our tour guide was Jonathan. We were picked up at our hotel at 630 am and returned at 800 pm. The trip was fantastic. First and foremost, enough cannot be said about Jonathan as a tour guide. He was personable, funny and most important knowledgeable about both Sedona, the Grand Canyon and Arizona in general. There were 10 people in the group from both stateside and one international visitor. The trip was fun, informative and well worth the price of admission. Jonathan made the trip outstanding. The details he provided along the way and in Sedona and the Grand Canyon were invaluable. We even stopped in Williams, Arizona on the return trip to see a part of American nostalgia as the last city on Route 66 before I-40. The lunch from Frank’s deli place in Sedona was excellent with huge sandwiches on fresh baked cibatta bread with homemade cookies and chip was fantastic. Even the story that Don Ho was the previous owner of Frank’s added to the trip. Seeing home previously owned by Lucille Ball and the Doublemint twins and those allegedly owned by Robert Deniro and Sharon Stone added to the fun. The Grand Canyon was clearly the main event with spectacular views from the south rim and a stop at El Tovar lodge which was seen on National Lampoon’s Vacation with Chevy Chase. The sites in Sedona including Snoopy rich and Goblet rock were also breathtaking. We lucked out with the weather as it was unseasonably warm with minimal snow in the Grand Canyon and temperatures near 60 degrees. The group of people on the tour, especially the four Cincinnati girls, were all friendly and added to the enjoyment of the trip. As we were told before the trip, words cannot describe the beauty and scope of the Grand Canyon and to a lesser extent Sedona. The long day is well worth the tour and just makes you want to return and spend more time in each place. Of note this tour did not go through the painted desert or the Navajo reservation nor does it take you to the skywalk. Even without those stops, this tour is well worth the price of admission and an excellent value at that.

Such a great tour. Ample time to see the canyon not enough time to do a full trail hike, but certainly can hike there fore about 1.5 hours. Spend about 2 hours at the canyon. Also get to experience some unique small Old West cities along the way. The time spent in Sedona was an unexpected highlight.
