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.

We had a fantastic experience with our recent all-day tour of Sedona and the Grand Canyon - led by our great tour guide Cameron (Cam), He was such an interesting and intelligent guide that he held our interest from our 6:00 a.m. pick-up until our 8:00 p.m. drop off. It was truly an outstanding experience for my wife and daughter and well worth the cost. Flying over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter (which Can highly recommended) was just awesome! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Jim Caffrey, Wilkes Barre, PA

My husband and I were in the area for a weekend only and decided to celebrate our upcoming 25th anniversary with this trip. I'm so glad we did! The trip exceeded all expectations. It was a long day, but no dull moments and our tour guide Chantelle was top notch!!

The helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon was fabulous. We flew from the airport toward the canyon. There was nothing but trees to see. And then the next thing you know you are out over the canyon. You cannot believe the view from the helicopter. It was magnificent. It felt like we were floating on air. As our pilot flew us over the canyon, he gave us a lot of information about the canyon. I loved taking pictures and videos from the helicopter. If possible you want to be in the front seats, if not at least sit by a window to take pictures. Our ride to the canyon was great. Our guide, Ronnie Lee, picked us up at our hotel on time. He had to pick up other passengers and they were on time. Our guide was knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. By the time we rode to the Grand Canyon and returned, all the passengers felt like family. I have driven to the Grand Canyon before, but it was so much nicer having someone else to do the driving. This is experiencing LIFE!
