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.
You’ll experience about three hours within the National Park marveling at the beauty that is the Grand Canyon. Don’t forget to visit the historic El Tovar Lodge and Hopi House in Grand Canyon Village. While at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park, you will have opportunities to walk the rim, shop and capture an unlimited number of photographs.
Also included in this tour is a special visit to the stunning Red Rocks of Sedona. Enjoy a photo stop at Bell Rock and approximately 30 minutes in Uptown Sedona. You will also get to enjoy the scenic drive through Oak Creek Canyon which connects Sedona to the Ponderosa pine forests of Flagstaff! No matter you are in Sedona, you are surrounded by incredible views!

Excellent tour
Hans was a great tour guide! He was knowledgeable, kind and enthusiastic. The Grand Canyon experience was fantastic and Hans made it special for all of us.
This was a very long day with much time spent in the bus but Hans was a good driver and the comfort stops were appreciated.
Sedona was so beautiful and we stopped there later in the day rather than in the morning and as a result we had a wonderful sunset experience.

Good trip!
This was a great experience for people of all ages. Our guide, Mark, was great - informative and genuinely concerned about our comfort and satisfaction. Would definitely recommend!
Awesome Experience !

Will I be able to hike into the canyon?
2023-01-19 01:10There will be about an hour and a half of free time during the tour, but we highly recommend staying along the rim. The trails into the canyon can take over 4 hours to reach the bottom and take twice as long to come back out.

What is my pick up time?
2023-03-10 01:10Pick up times range from 6am-7am. We will contact you between 4-6pm the evening before the tour to confirm your exact pick up time.
How long does it take to get there?
2023-03-11 01:10The Grand Canyon is approximately 4 hours from the Phoenix and Scottsdale area. With stops made along the way though, we typically arrive around noon.
What should I wear?
2023-03-18 09:51We recommend closed-toed shoes year round. During the winter, we recommend layers, long pants, winter coats, gloves, and hats. During spring and fall, we recommend jackets.
