My girlfriend and I did the Grand Canyon and Sedona tour from Phoenix on 12/15. Our tour guide Jay was awesome. Immediately he got everyone in the small van talking and was dropping interesting information about Phoenix all day. Any question or any problem that anyone in the group had Jay made it a priority to make sure that question or problem was answered as soon as he could. However, we did have one couple in our group that was an absolute problem, arguing with each other all day and making rude comments throughout the trip. Jay handled this with absolute professionalism. He ignored every rude comment they made about his driving even though he was a great driver and I felt safe all day. If I ever go on a trip via detours again I will request Jay because he made this trip that much more special.

An amazing tour of the Grand Canyon and Sedona area. Our guide, Mark H, was outstanding—kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and always checking in to make sure everyone in the group was comfortable and having a great time. I don’t usually enjoy long car journeys, but there was so much to see and do, and Mark kept us well informed about upcoming stops and what to expect, which made the time fly by. I also tend to get motion sickness, but I felt completely fine in the spacious, comfortable van. Although it was a long day (12–13 hours), it was absolutely worth it and made my business trip to Arizona unforgettable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, especially solo female travelers—I felt extremely safe throughout. Mark was genuinely interested in making sure everyone had a great time in Phoenix as well, even offering personalized food recommendations near where each of us was staying. I followed Mark's recommendation for in and out burger, it was delicious ! Thanks again Mark H!

My wife Joyce was celebrating her birthday for this trip; we went on the day tour to Sedona from Scottsdale and it was fantastic. The bus was so great, clean, on time, comfortable, and provided water. Mark H. was our guide and he was exceptional. Informative, considered everyone, good amount of info, good timing at each site, and right amount of stops. He’s so friendly, good vibe, and even played good music to get us into the Sedona vibe. Sedona is spectacular and the energy can be felt. Thank you for the great day. I highly recommend. We had a fantastic experience with Detours American West! From the start, communication was clear and easy—every detail was handled smoothly. Even though we needed to go to a nearby hotel for an early pickup, the process was seamless. Our driver, MARK H., was outstanding. He was on time, truly knowledgeable, and kept the ride engaging with his explanations along the way. The van was spotless, had large windows for great views, and the air conditioning kept us comfortable throughout the day. Sedona was by far the highlight—the breathtaking red rock scenery, the charming shopping district, and great food made it unforgettable. It was a full day, but well-paced with plenty of stops and time to explore. The price point felt just right for the value we received. Overall, we couldn’t be more pleased and highly recommend this tour. We’re already looking forward to booking another Detours trip on our next Grand Canyon visit!
