This experience is a must! - Our experience was incredible! Our guide, Mark S. was knowledgeable and brought the best energy and fun to our day! We enjoyed learning everything there is to know about the Grand Canyon and having so many opportunities for photos and other scenic views. Booking for this experience was easy and the operator offered quick communication. Can’t recommend this experience enough!

So glad I booked a tour! - I contemplated driving to the Grand Canyon from Phoenix on my own and I’m so glad I didn’t. We made so many more cool stops and learned so much history that we would have missed otherwise. Mark H was a great guide!

I was in total heaven on this tour! - Mark L was an amazing, knowledgeable and super friendly tour guide. The stops along the way to Grand Canyon were super fun. The private tour was so worth the extra spend as we could customize our trip! I would 100% recommend touring with Detours American West!

n/a - Our tour guide, Jay was very knowledgeable. He made the tour extremely worthwhile by engaging all of us in discussing details about ourselves & thus creating a real family atmosphere!! He made sure that appropriate pictures were taken by posing in places of significance. Had fun w/ a short quiz at the end.😀

Family time w/Driver Mark (Lane) - My family and I had an amazing time/tour with Detours American West. First, Victoria, the person that helped me book my trip was a pleasure to work with. She was so kind, and answered all of my questions. Looking forward to booking with her again! Now for our main attraction, Adventure Mark (Lane) AKA "Driver Mark". This guy was absolutely amazing! He was patient, kind, polite, professional, funny, knowledgeable, charismatic, and an absolute joy to have on this trip. We are so happy we got him as our driver. We plan to book with him again for sure - Once you go Mark, you'll never go back 😂. The tour was awesome. Actually, it was Gorgina 😉 (IYKYK -Thanks Emma). We'll never let it go (shout out to Elsa). We learned so much history and facts about Arizona, various cities, and Native American culture. We didn't know what to expect going into this, but we are all pleased with the outcome. We didn't pay for any add-ons because we didn't need any. It was 10 of us altogether and we fit comfortably in the van, along with our bags, and food/snacks. I'd say it was all worth it because family time is invaluable and this experience was unforgettable. THANK YOU SO MUCH MARK! (Lane)

Unforgettable Grand Canyon Tour with Mark - We had an amazing experience on our Grand Canyon tour with Mark as our guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and kept the entire group on schedule without ever making the trip feel rushed. Mark did a fantastic job narrating throughout the drive, sharing interesting facts, history, and stories that made the journey even more enjoyable. We visited the breathtaking South Rim of the Grand Canyon and also made a stop in beautiful Sedona. The scenery was unforgettable! The only thing we wished for was a little more time in Sedona, but that just gives us the perfect excuse to come back again someday. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Mark as your guide!
