Guide Han was very helpful. The combination tour of the drive from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon and a separate helicopter ride in the Grand Canyon was well organized. Definitely recommend seeing the Grand Canyon by helicopter. Being picked up close to our lodging and able to have free parking was a great feature. Communication from the tour company was very good.

Breathtaking Experience
Absolutely loved this tour. The itinerary was a perfect blend of adventure and culture. This tour was well organized. The tour was on time and my guide was absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable making it so interesting to listen too. I would definitely recommend this tour with them.

Spectacular Grand Canyon!
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!

Excellent day trip
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.

Dolly steamboat and Apache Junction tour
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...
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!

A Memorable Adventure with an Outstanding Guide
It was an amazing tour from start to finish. Bruce did a wonderful job picking everyone up and guiding us on an incredible journey from Phoenix to the Apache Trail and beyond. The Dolly Steamboat was refreshing, with plenty of beautiful scenic moments, and the Ghost Town was extremely fun to explore. The lunch stop was great as well. Overall, the tour was excellent, and Bruce did an outstanding job—thank you for such a memorable experience.

Fantastic Experience!
Fantastic trip! Really enjoyed the experience and it was something I thought I would never do in my life. Tour guide was amazing and knowledgable. Very personal and was interested in getting to know our group. Sedona and Grand Canyon were absolutely breathtaking and guide knew the best places to drop us off and tell us where to go.

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

Best guided tour and transport to Antelope Canyon!
Worth the time! Hahn with Detours took great care with our entire experience from pick up at 520 am to drop off at 8 pm. There are plentiful bathroom breaks, water, breakfast and lunch are provided. And Antelope Canyon is truly awe inspiring. Take clothes that can be layered and a hat if possible. It helps to be very mobile. Horseshoe bend and lower Antelope canyon involve a good amount of slow walking. And it is helpful to be sure footed for safety. I hate lots of time in cars on vacation but the huge sprinter van was SO COMFORTABLE. And Hahn was so professional and helpful with keeping us on schedule. I highly recommend this epic experience.

Wonderful experience!
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!
