Grand Canyon Deluxe Tour

Grand Canyon Deluxe Tour

This is the ultimate when it comes to full-day coach tours from Sedona or *Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon.

Your Grand Canyon Tour starts off with a scenic ride from the Red Rocks of Sedona, through Oak Creek Canyon (one of the top 10 scenic drives in America) and towering Ponderosa Pines of Flagstaff. After meeting our Flagstaff guests, we drive past the dormant volcanoes that make up the San Francisco Peaks, on our way to Grand Canyon National Park, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

Your first views of the Grand Canyon will take your breath away. You will be looking at one of the wider sections of the canyon, which will give you an appreciation for the magnitude of this Wonder of the World. From the South Rim you'll gaze 14 miles across to the North Rim. You'll visit the only point where you can see the Kaibab Suspension Bridge and see glimpses of the mighty Colorado River in several spots far down below. You can also gaze all the way across to the north rim. After your first view of the canyon, you may select to go for a walk along the Trail of Time, or head over to the Grand Canyon Village to explore various famous historical buildings and views.

At the Grand Canyon Village, you'll have time to visit and shop at the many historic buildings and museums, such as the Hopi House, the rustic El Tovar Lodge, the Grand Canyon Railway Station and Kolb Studio. You may also take in some wondrous views of the Grand Canyon looking down onto the Bright Angel trail and Indian Gardens. You may even get a glimpse of the incredible California Condors! You will then be given time to enjoy a meal on your own (lunch not included).

We stop along the way at the best vistas the Grand Canyon has to offer. Your knowledgeable guide will make sure you get to see the most magnificent viewpoints on the south rim. One of our superb views along the way is a stop at Grandview Point. This transitional point between the East and South Rims of the Grand Canyon offers both the open views of the Colorado River Gorge afforded at the East Rim, as well as the butte-filled views for which the South Rim is famous. You'll end your day with views of the Grand Canyon and Colorado River at Desert View. Climb up to the top of the Watchtower Observatory for magnificent panoramic views of the Grand Canyon. The Watchtower Observatory is one of the crowning achievements of architect Mary Jane Colter.

At the end of the day, we'll make a stop at the Historic Cameron Trading Post, originally built in 1916. You will have time at Cameron to shop at one of the finest places to shop for authentic Native American souvenirs. You may also visit The Gallery, home of many breathtaking pieces of fine and historic Native American Arts and Crafts. You'll view the western edge of the Painted Desert as you relax on your way back from the Grand Canyon.
