We were the only clients for that day so effectively we had the car & guide, Naala, all to ourselves! It was an awesome trip from the get go. Naala, who owns Elegant Travel, was punctual & very well organised & an extremely careful driver of a well maintained, clean & super comfortable vehicle. She had more than ample water/snacks for us & made sure we had enough comfort stops. The day passed so quickly because there was never a dull moment! Naala is so personable & gracious; with a wealth of knowledge not only of the flora, fauna & geographical wonders of Arizona but also beyond, due to her extensive travel experience. Her commentaries/anecdotes enroute there & back were relevant, entertaining & interesting. She brought us straight to the highlights of Sedona, the Grand Canyon, lunch venue, Arts & Crafts market, maximising the entire day's enjoyment. She updated us regularly on where we were/what we are viewing & we are truly appreciative of her dedication to ensure the best experience ever for her guests. We highly recommend Elegant Travel; the company is certified in health & safety/legal matters & we felt very safe in its hands. We have come away with the most wonderful memories of the spectacular Grand Canyon and Sedona and it's all thanks to Naala & her flawless professionalism. It was also amazing how she can spot wild horses/cows miles away in the open terrain! :)

You will see some of the most beautiful places in the world all in one day! We will meet at 8am and head to the gorgeous red rocks of Sedona. Not only is Sedona absolutely stunning, it is thought to have healing powers from the magnetic vortices located there. We will visit the site of an actual vortex, Chapel of the Holy Cross overlooking Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock. Then we' will travel on one of the most scenic highways in America, 89A. We will stop a a Native American Crafts Market run by local Native Americans, and then we will head out to view one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon! We will arrive at the Grand Canyon in the afternoon to take in this magnificent and breathtaking sight! We will *not* see the sunset at the Grand Canyon, but on our drive back to Phoenix you will enjoy the best sunset in the world, an Arizona sunset!
