We looked at a lot of tours and reviews before selecting the Colors and Canyons Tour from our hotel in Scottsdale.
One of my big concerns was the van as we would be in it for many hours. There are 3 pairs of seats on the left side 3 single seats on the right including the one beside the driver. There is a row of 4 across the back. The chairs are very comfortable captain's chairs. The windows are large with a great view for everyone. There is a large center isle. All in all, a roomy comfortable van.
Next, the driver, Dan, Dan the Man, Dan the Man Who Drives The Van! He was wonderful, knowledgeable of EVERYTHING Arizona, the flora, fauna, history, geography, current events. We said he was like a walking encyclopedia. He was entertaining, stopped frequently for bathroom and snack breaks and photo ops. He was the best.
The helicopter ride was beautiful. Our pilot was knowledgeable. I would advise taking your Dramamine if you get car sick...
All in all and expensive but once in a lifetime trip that we are happy we did.
