I celebrated my 28th birthday in Phoenix solo almost two weeks ago and this was literally the highlight of it! There were six of us; two couples, myself, and another guy. I really loved that this was very intimate and not too many people. We were able to get to know each other and engage. One couple was from New Hampshire, the other from China, the other young guy was from Tokyo (he had been traveling by himself around the world for two months!) and me from Alabama.
Nathan our driver was super funny, engaging and very knowledgeable the whole way up to the Canyon. We were taught a few history lessons and all. I would definitely recommend him. The bus was very clean and spacious for the six of us. I also enjoyed the stop in Williams, AZ to sight see and buy souvenirs. If you are planning a a December trip, be aware that snow is a possibility. I would suggest to keep an eye out on the weather during the time period. It was cold but I enjoyed the snow a little bit.
Overall I would definitely recommend this trip when traveling to Phoenix! Also, this is a full 12-our day trip so prepare yourself for that and you will have the option to purchase a $12 lunch from them or bring your own. I purchased the lunch with them only because I wasn't able to get to a store on my own to buy any snacks.

Wow!!
Let us start by saying, happy birthday. :) Phoenix is an incredible place to visit especially when the reason is to celebrate! Aw, the highlight of your trip? You make us blush! We agree, we think that small groups are much more personable and enjoyable! You get to meet and greet people from all around the world - and by the end of the day the whole vehicle nearly feels like a family!
Nathan, like all of our guides, has a very strong and unique personality. They all totally deliver a difference experience than you would experience anywhere else. We know our information, we know how to deliver it, and we know how to make people feel engaged with jokes and knowledge unlike most places that just feed information. The difference that the guides put into their work makes all the difference in the world - and it shows with our DETOURS guides! Williams is an often overlooked gem in the Sonoran Desert here, we're glad we were able to show you that AND the beautiful Grand Canyon National Park!
Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your experience with DETOURS and thank you for the recommendations. Your words are kind and true - just the way we like it!
Happy birthday again and we hope to see you again very soon!!
