Grand Canyon with Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon Van Tour

Lisa_C, Jun 2026

Well worth it, a must to visit the Grand Canyon.

It was amazing, best way to travel from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon. Kenny was a wealth of knowledge and made the entire tour great and I got to bring home some fun facts of the area that I wouldn't know had I tried to make the trip on my own.

Carlos_A, May 2026

Amazing tour

This was exactly the tour we were looking for—one that would take us to the iconic sites of Sedona and the Grand Canyon. I recommend it to anyone who wants to dedicate a day to visiting these two areas. Patrick our tour guy was amazing. Patrick, our guide, was spectacular—always providing us with plenty of information and helping us even more than we expected.

Fun..felt little rushed

The van ac didn't work...the trip back we switched to a better van 1/2 way back which helped. Driver (Jeff) was knowledgeable and engaging. Would have liked a little more time at canyon but understand to stay on schedule the timeliness was needed. Overall only gave a 4 instead of 5 due to van issue, not fault of driver. Would do again.

Book the tour!!

The tour is a must if you’re visiting Phoenix. Coming from Kentucky, I’ve never seen anything like it. Traveling solo is always a little awkward but the guide, Eric, makes you feel comfortable and genuinely conveys sincerity to any needs of the guests. He’s great at what he does. I only wish I had more time to see more of Arizona. Next time I come back, I’m definitely checking out Bisbee. 🧡🧡

We had an excellent time...

We had an excellent time bar one mishap. Jeff, the driver, was friendly, helpful and above all extremely knowledgeable about the area, its people and history of Arizona, the geology and geography of the Colorado plateau and surrounding mountains. He maintained an almost non-stop monologue of interesting facts and stories throughout the journey there and back. We learnt so much more than a guide book could provide.

Know before you go

Oak Creek Canyon is a must-see for outdoor enthusiasts, adventure travelers, and photographers.
Plan ahead: The drive is lovely but there aren’t many places to pull off and enjoy the scenery.
Be sure to bring along sun protection and plenty of drinking water, as it’s easy to get dehydrated in the arid climate.
Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking over uneven surfaces if you plan to get out of the car and explore.
