Top Phoenix Day Trips - page 2

My experience with Viator tours has been amazing. The trip to the Grand Canyon was spectacular! Mark Lane, the driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable about all the areas we traveled through as well as cultures and old civilizations. His driving skills were exceptional and got us there and back safely. The van was very comfortable, new and each chair had its own charging station. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to go to the Grand Canyon. It was a long drive and having someone else do the driving was the best! Thanks to Mark Lane and Viator tours!

This is hands-down, the best tour agency that you can go through. The amount of knowledge that our tour guide John had was absolutely outstanding. He went above and beyond any expectation me and my fiancé had. I plan on bringing our children back for a trip with John. The van was impeccable. He was very attentive to any in every need me and her had 10 out of 10 recommended.

Sam was really good as a guide and driver. Very informative and friendly. The tour was in general very intereating and well organised, the van was comfortable. The pick up and drop off could have been better arranged from the company as it took an hour to pick up everyone and an hour to drop off, and for me at least I had to travel another 15 minutes by uber or 40 min by tram to get to the meeting point as opposed to others who were picked up from their hotel. I think it would have been better if we were all told to meet up at one place and then drive off from there, therefore not having to start off the tour too early for some and driving me around the whole of Phoenix, Scodsdale and Tempe. Other than that all was great.

Make sure to wear clothes that match the weather and comfy footwear because there is exploring to do outside the vehicle but so worth it. Also if you get Cynthia she is amazing and knowledgeable about anything Az. She even took time to help us find something else to do in Mesa after the tour. Above and beyond what was expected. Awesome person!

We originally did this tour last year through another company but the weather put a damper on our tour. This year was better! Our group first went to Montezuma Castle, and then we toured Sedona a bit. The Red Rocks are beautiful when the weather is good. We ended the day in Jerome. Our guide, Jeff, also showed us some scenic views so we appreciated that! Definitely a must-do!

We booked a last minute tour with Andy and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend if you are looking to be immersed in the mountains learning about the rocks, plants, animals and the history of the area. The bonus was the incredible photo ops along the way. He also gave us recommendations after our trip on where to drive, eat, and see more of the beautiful mountains of the Tonto National Forest. A good time was had by all. 5-stars

Our day started bright and early, and the team was right on time for pickup — always a great start! Once everyone was on board, we made a quick stop for breakfast, which was a nice touch before heading out on the road. Our guide, Mike, was absolutely fantastic. He was so knowledgeable about the different types of rocks, the history of Arizona, and the Native cultures of the region. I learned so much and enjoyed every moment of it. Both Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend were breathtaking. Mike went above and beyond to make the experience special, especially at Horseshoe Bend — he took the best photos of our group and somehow managed to capture the entire bend perfectly with us in the shot!We stopped at the Bird House for lunch, and it did not disappoint — some of the best chicken I’ve had in a long time. All in all, the day was perfectly organized, filled with beautiful sights, great food, and amazing company. I’ll definitely be back to join them for the Grand Canyon tour next time!

David greeted us right on time and made us feel comfortable immediately. He brought a cooler full of snacks, fresh fruit and waters, and told us if we needed anything to let him know. We all felt great about him from the start. He shared so much knowledge about Arizona on the drive up, and stopped when we needed a break. When we arrived, he brought us to all the best spots of the canyon! We walked around for about an hour, then ate lunch at a restaurant on site. (He made reservations for us!) After lunch we had time to visit the gift shops. David then took us to see a few more views before we finally headed back for the day. We had a fantastic day with him, and learned so much. All 6 of us in our group would highly recommend doing this experience with David. He was truly wonderful!
