This bucket list adventure was all that I dreamed of… - From the ease of scheduling to the ability of being picked up and dropped off right at your hotel/resort, dealing with Detours was stress free and enjoyable. Our guide, Mark Lane, was terrific…knowledgeable, personable and fun. The adventure itself was a dream come true. Being able to experience the Grand Canyon, Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon was awesome and unforgettable. It’s a day I will never forget!

Outstanding - Long day but totally worth it. Be sure to buy sandwiches & snacks along the way as there’s no designated meal stops. Wear good shoes, long pants & bring jacket as temps drop approx 25 degrees in canyon. Guide Han was a knowledgeable gem!

Great tour in Grand Canyon & Sedona - A fantastic experience guided by Mark H. and Jay! Took us through less crowded areas on the south rim which let us really be able to sink in the Canyon without much distraction from some amazing lookout points. While a packed day nothing felt too rushed and I'm glad there was time allotted for Sedona as while different from the Canyon was still an amazing stop!

Love love love this tour and highly recommend - We were imaging a long 13 hour sometimes dull tour but Our guide ( Jordan) made this tour really enjoyable. He had a plethora of knowledge of the Canyon, the mountains and Arizona. We really learned alot and appreciate how he engaged with us. All the places we stopped are favorites,but the beauty of the Canyon brought tears to my eyes.

Do it! It was fabulous. - Tour guide Nathan—Nate Arizona—was great. He is personable and full of knowledge and really cared that each of us on the tour had a great experience. On the way to the Grand Canyon, he mentioned a helicopter tour we could add on and called to get reservations for those of us who wanted to do it. I'm so glad I opted in. The helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon was one of the most amazing things I've ever done.

Not worth it - I’ve traveled with Detours before and know how wonderful these tours can be. This time the experience felt a bit different, and I found myself missing the balance and calm of my earlier trip. I think the small details—like timing of stops, the type of commentary, and creating space to simply enjoy the scenery—make a big difference. Hoping future tours capture more of that magic I experienced before.
