Is a very good experience. Learned aot of good history information. The seating could of been more better organized. I would of handle this with larger family sit in the back of the bus to allow the others that are in group 2 fit better in the front seats. There could of been a bus bigger to allow individuals to come in and out of the bus with no problem.

One Day Grand Canyon Helicopter Heaven
The experience was amazing! From pick up to drop off at my hotel, everything was simple, easy to access, and as promised. Han our tour operator, was professional, friendly, very knowledgeable and on track. The Sedona stop was a good opportunity to take pics, and get a small taste of the local flavor, then on to the grand canyon. The helicopter tour was life changing, as it has been on my list of must do's for a while. I highly recommend Detours if you are looking for a great tour operator, and this tour if you need to pack many great experiences into a short time frame. Just note, we were delayed almost an hour, due to mountain road construction blockage. This shortened our timeline at the grand canyon, but we were still able to get the main rocks into the jar! (Pun intended)

Wonderful tour
Enjoyed every minute! Naala was very informative with historical information that she shared during the tour . Naala pointing out the vegetation, land scapes along the way to the Grand Canyon. The tour was 12.5 hours but the day flew by ! Worth every penny !

Great trip. You don’t want to miss it.
It was very enjoyable. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing. Be prepared to take many beautiful pictures. The riverboat was wonderful. We saw the longhorn sheep and enjoyed relaxing ride. We highly recommend this trip. Bruce our driver and guide was friendly, funny and well informed. You can trust his recommendations. Loved this tour.

Excellent site seeing and historical tour
If you have an open travel day and would like to see some amazing geological formations, beautiful Native American art and not be responsible for the planning and driving -- you really should book this tour. Naala was fantastic and professional. She seemed to effortlessly keep up the commentary and pace without making anything feel rushed. Lower Antelope Canyon was the cherry of the sundae. Our Navajo guide, Eder, was informative and fun. The views in the canyon are awe inspiring. It was a long but satisfying day!

This tour was beyond...
This tour was beyond anything I imagined! Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend are absolutely breathtaking on their own, but what truly made the day unforgettable was our tour guide, Mark. From the moment we hopped on the bus, he set the tone with his warm personality, fun sense of humor, and genuinely impressive knowledge of the area. Lovely family owned business. Highly recommend.

Breath taking
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.

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!

We booked a last minute...
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

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!
