This day tour to Sedona and the Grand Canyon was absolutely a 5 Star + experience. Our tour guide Jay, was exceptional. He was energetic, so knowledgeable, courteous, and had a perfect tour guide voice. He made our experience above and beyond what we expected. The van was comfortable, (although a cupholder, or netting, on the back of the seat, to hold personal items would have been convenient.) The group size of 12 people worked very well. I highly recommend Detours American West for your tour travels.

Our guide, Mark H was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the area and called everyone by name. Mark knew the best spots for excellent photos. Kept us in schedule. The historical information Mark added was great. Wonderful tour!!! Contrary to what the company told us, they do not pick up down town Phoenix.

Great experience. The driver was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. The bus was comfortable, complete with big windows which was perfect for sightseeing.

This is such a great way to get your “feet wet” experiencing the Grand Canyon! The shuttle was very comfortable which is key because you are in it for many hours getting to and from the Grand Canyon! Our tour guide, Aldo, made the ride enjoyable with his knowledge of the region and stops along the way. The Grand Canyon views were incredible, even with the cloudy and somewhat rainy day. Aldo did an excellent job of giving tips and suggestions for planning a multi day trip to the Grand Canyon. It was breathtaking to see and keeps you wanting more! Seeing the Canyon has been a bucket list to do for my mom and this was a great way to do it with her!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of taking the Grand Canyon day trip with 7 other travelers, 2 couples and 3 other single visitors. The weather did not cooperate very well with the first snowy day of the season through Flagstaff, and a foggy, rainy, and cloudy day at the Canyon. Our Guide Mark H. did everything he could to find a location from the South Rim where we could view the magnificence of mother nature. I hiked with another traveler and we were able to walk a portion of the bright angel trail lower than the rim, where the Canyon was visible. On our last stop of the day at the Canyon at Yavapi Point, there was a break in the clouds and the other travelers saw the Canyon at a spot where we could view a part of the river below. The drive to Sedona through Oak Creek Canyon and rushing waters along the drive due to the rain was memorable and the sun brightened the end of our showing all of the Red Rock views around Sedona. Mark's play list on our way back to Phoenix was the perfect ending to an informational and my first visit to the Canyon. It won't be my last with Detours American West.
