Itinerary
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.
Enjoy a brief visit to the stunning red rocks of Sedona! After a photo stop at Bell Rock, you'll have approximately 30 minutes in Uptown to enjoy the shops and galleries while surrounded by the beautiful views. You'll also experience the scenic drive through Oak Creek Canyon!
You’ll experience approximately 2.5 hours within the National Park marveling at the beauty that is the Grand Canyon. You will be driven to viewpoints as well as have free time to walk to various viewpoints and points of interest. Visit may include the historic El Tovar Lodge, Hopi House, Mather Point or Yavapai Point (these viewpoints are subject to change), the Geology Museum and more incredible viewpoints! While at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park, you will have opportunities to walk the rim, shop, capture an unlimited number of photographs, or enjoy lunch (own expense) and relax with the best seat in the house.

Wonderful experience, the tour guide was knowledgeable about the areas. The Grand Canyon and Sedona mountains are breathtaking.
3Not really great
While it was out of drivers control,pickup was 2 hours late at hotel.What should have been controlled better is the transportation van.The air conditioning was either on and freezing people or off and everyone sweating.Also people returning back at the appropriate time.At each location we lost 1/2 an hour for a total of 1 hour due to selfishness of 3 people. The lookout stop,was very disappointing as it only had 1 restaurant open and a 30-60 minute wait for food.They should have had a backup plan,using food trucks for an eating alternative.The manager at the restaurant was rude.and the service was terrible,due to not enough staff. We missed the last part of the tour due to it bringing pitch black.Due to delay and start time and people nit returning home n time to the bus.
5Sedona/Grand Canyon Tour
The best 13 hour road trip ever, with our own Navajo Indian Tour guide, Donovan. You must ask for him. So knowledgeable about all the sites, plus so much history on Indian culture and the different Tribes. Took us to the best stops and away from the crowds. Pack a lunch, save time and money. They supply water. Picked us up directly from our house in Desert Mountain. The value of this trip is worth every dollar.

About Phoenix
Phoenix is Arizona's desert capital, a sprawling Sonoran Desert city of saguaro cacti, museums, mountain parks and year-round sunshine.
Phoenix spreads across the Salt River Valley in the Sonoran Desert, ringed by mountains and dotted with saguaro cacti. Its name recalls the ancient Hohokam canals on which the settlers built. Camelback Mountain, a red sandstone peak shaped like a kneeling camel, rises in the east, and South Mountain Park is among the largest city parks in the United States. The Desert Botanical Garden shows cacti and desert flowers.
Top-ranked sights in Phoenix: Camelback Mountain, Scottsdale Fashion Square , Tonto National Forest.
