A most memorable day out visiting some of the most spectacular sights we've ever seen. Our driver Mark Lane, picked us up from our hotel in Scottsdale at 6.30am in a very comfortable van, and our small group travelled north towards the Grand Canyon. There were plentiful rest room stops along the way. We arrived at the Grand Canyon geology museum at 10.30, with a 20 min stop to view the canyon and check out the museum. We then picked up a quick lunch in the Village, then were dropped off at the small airport for our helicopter (not included in the tour), and I highly recommend doing this as well. Afterwards we had around 45mins to walk around the Village, before heading through Oak Creek Canyon (a windy road, but only 20mins or so), and into the picturesque Sedona for afternoon tea and admire the sun lighting up the red rocks to great effect. A quick sightseeing stop at Bell Rock, then back to Scottsdale, arriving at our hotel at a little after 7pm. A huge day, but Mark made it so enjoyable, with interesting facts about the canyon and Arizona. If you only have a few days in the area, then this tour should be at the top of your list.

This was an excellent trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona! With frequent opportunities for rest breaks and snack purchases along with fantastic views out of the enormous windows of the van, the traveling was excellent. Traveling solo, I wasn’t sure what to expect spending the day with strangers. As it turned out, our group of 11 was so much fun and added to the great experience. Our tour guide Mark was friendly, knowledgeable, and so accommodating! All in all, a spectacular day!

I don’t usually do solo tours but I really wanted to see the Grand Canyon. The trip was amazing. Our guide handled everything and went out of his way to make sure everyone was having a great time.

Our guide Han was simply the best. Very knowledgable and entertaining. Even the ride over was an experience. The way he presented the grand reveal of the Canyon was incredibly memorable. I actually cried with joy and amazement! His kindness, knowledge and creativity made for an excellent trip we will never forget. He called 10 minutes prior to our pick up time. Very punctual and professional, while also having a great sense of humor. Sedona was gorgeous too. The town is so bursting with character and things to do, see and eat. For great photos - go behind the shops on ground level in order to get photos of the red rocks without cars in view. Thanks Han for the best experience!!! - 🏜The Kiernan Family

We booked a private tour of Sedona from Phoenix. Our tour guide Mark was awesome and very knowledgeable. We had lots of questions on the area and he was able to answer them all. I highly recommend Detours.

Mark was excellent and explained in detail about every site we toured. He was familiar with the route, as well as the history. I would recommend that Mark would be our tour guide on our next visit to Phoenix. Thank you Sir.

We booked this as a last minute (i.e. the day before) tour, and the staff at Detours made this the best day! As we made our arrangements, Rachel was extremely helpful as she gave us recommendations and options for helping to plan the day. Our guide Mike was extremely knowledgeable about the history and geology of the Southwest, and gave us a ton of facts and information about the area. He knew that we had already done a similar tour (also with Detours) of the area, so he found lots of unique stops to visit, like Peace Park in Sedona, a copper museum and mine, and a ghost town near Jerome. He took lots of photos of us from interesting angles, so we will have those memories for a long time! We had so much fun and laughed throughout the day.

We were off to a great start when our guide Mark H picked us up at our hotel in Scottsdale a few minutes ahead of our scheduled time. Along the ride to the Grand Canyon, he made sure everyone was comfortable and made a number of stops for the restroom and snacks. He shared lots of interesting facts and trivia about the area and its history. He was informative and entertaining. Of course the Grand Canyon is stunning, and we had ample time to enjoy the park. We drove through gorgeous scenery on the way to Sedona, where we had about an hour on our own. We had time for one last stop at Bell Rock before heading back to Scottsdale.

Had alot of fun going on this tour with my mom, sister and my daughter. I think my daughters favorite part of the tour was when we were on the Dolly Steamboat part of the tour. My favorite part was seeing the different varieties of the cacti and seeing the different varieties of flowers pertaining to each cacti. Eric did a phenomenal job with educating everyone on the plant life in Arizona and letting everyone know the adjustment to the itinerary for the day due to changing weather

Fantastic tour with our guide John made the trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona so enjoyable. Comfortable (new) vehicle made the trip even better. Thanks to Rachel for her help in setting up our trip!

Definitely would recommend this tour if you haven’t been to the Grand Canyon or Sedona. Our tour guide Han did an amazing job! Very knowledgeable and had great things to share about each area we passed through. It’s nice to see the sights themselves, but even better when you get to learn about the surrounding areas along the way.

Love every moment.. Our tour guide John was great and very knowledgeable. We took pictures and had great views a must tip for the family

We were picked up on time. Mark H was our guide. He was knowledgeable and shared great information and anecdotes with our group during the drive, including ample rest stops along the way. We had a great time and highly recommend Mark H and Detours. Thanks for a great day.

Marvelously wonderful adventure. Our guide Jordan is amazing, knowledgeable and attentive. Plenty of free time to explore the Canyon, with Jordan pointing out the best views and trails. The van was stocked with water for us and stopped every hour or so for bathroom and snack breaks. We made new friends with our van-mates, everyone was so friendly. Pro tips: Go on a weekday, if if at all possible, to avoid weekend crowds. Pack snacks and reading material for all the time in the van. It’s a 13-hour day, and worth every minute. We’ll remember this trip for a long long time. Thank you Detours!

We booked a private tour for our family of five from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon with a stop in Sedona and it was fantastic! We considered renting a car and making the drive back and forth from Phoenix on our own but we are so happy that we decided to book the tour instead. Our tour guide, Mark H, was friendly, polite and a wonderful person. He was incredibly knowledgeable abut all the history and facts, not just about the Grand Canyon but of all the beautiful landscapes we passed along the way. The van was comfortable and spacious and the tour is very well timed. Mark knew exactly which spots would be less crowded and would have the best views. He had great suggestions as far as where to eat and where to grab a drink. We absolutely loved the tour and would 100% recommend it to others.
