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 National Park

Just before entering the Grand Canyon National Park, you will be checked in for your 45 minute helicopter flight, spanning over 90 miles of the Grand Canyon. After your flight, your guide will bring you back into the National Park to discover more by foot. You will have opportunities to walk the rim, shop, capture an unlimited number of photographs, or relax with the best seat in the house. Your total time at Grand Canyon including the helicopter and walking is approximately 3 hours, with approximately 1-1.5 hours on the rim walking.

The Good: Steve was an awesome tour guide Gave interesting commentary on the way to Grand Canyon-learned a lot The box lunch purchased was tasty and had ample portions Helicopter add-on was pricy but worth it The Bad: The oversized Ford touring van was very rough riding, spilled my box lunch into the aisle while on 4 lane interstate highway, had to throw spilled food in trash. Needs new shocks, badly. AC controls were unreliable Too hot, too cold, never comfy Low clearance in front area where free water was available and I have the gash on the top of my head to prove it Please provide foam padding there, Sheesh!!

Was picked up at our hotel right on time. Justin kept us "in the know" of our surroundings, which was nice. We did a nice stop in Williams AZ, Route 66. Was able to get out and walk around this cute little town and did some shopping. For those who ordered our lunches ahead they were just as described, very good. Then back on the bus to the Grand Canyon. My favorite part was when Justin told us to close our eyes and turn our heads to the right then after a few moments had us turn our heads to the left and open our eyes, there it was the vast Grand Canyon, awesome! Was able to just walk around at our leisure, which was nice.
