Traveler reviews
Good for 60 year old and 30 year olds!
My mom and I took the day trip from Phoenix with stop in Sedona before the Grand Canyon. The bus picked us up on time at our hotel and communications beforehand were as promised. Aldo was a great, knowledgeable guide and kept control of the group and tour at all times. He was a fun personality but also did a great job making us feel safe. Bus was comfortable and cool. Not too much time in the Grand Canyon to do too much but if you’re looking for an easy day laid out for you to get some cool pictures and check something off your bucket list, this is definitely worth it! Overall 14 hour day.
Wonderful day trip
A wonderful day trip to the Grand Canyon. Our tour guide was Mark and he was extremely knowledgeable and fun. We also stopped in Sedona. That was a remarkable and beautiful place. Would definitely do this again.
Spectacular
Fantastic views, great, knowledgeable guide, very well organized trip in a special custom build F-350.
Check it off the bucket list!
Great trip. Aldo the tour guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. A long drive but so worth it. Van was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend.
Great experience
This was a great experience, and Tracy is a terrific guide. He shared his vast knowledge of the flora, fauna, terrain, history, and people in all the areas we passed through on the drive, and he is super friendly and helpful. He also adjusted the order of stops so that we were able to avoid the anticipated rain storms at the Grand Canyon. This was the first time my mother and I visited the GC and Sedona, and I'd definitely use Detours again with my family.
