I did 2 tours with Detours and was more than impressed!
I had actually researched 2 other tour companies and was trying to figure out which to go with when I was reading through the reviews of my hotel on Trip Advisor and noticed that many people were mentioning Detours.
When I visited their website and saw their video and all of the information they provide - I knew immediately that this was the company I had to go with. Their vans are comfortable with Captains Chairs rather than bench seating and their 15 passenger vans they only put seating in for 10 plus the driver which gives everyone ample room. They aren't looking to be the biggest - they just want to be the best - and they are!
We did the Grand Canyon the first day (with 2 short stops in Sedona one for a photo opportunity and the next to use the facilities and shop around for about 30 minutes while the driver went to pick up our bagged lunches (which we ordered off the menu on the ride there and were fabulous by the way).
If I were not returning the next day on a full day Sedona Tour I might have been disappointed by what little time we had in Sedona - but the ride to the Grand Canyon from Phoenix is a long one so you are limited by the hours of daylight you're going to have. If you really want to see Sedona you need to do the separate tour for that - or even spend a few days there - which is what I wish I did and will do at some point in the future.
But back to the Grand Canyon Tour - Larry our tour guide had taken over 1600 tour groups to the Canyon in his years as a tour guide. He was awesome. His knowledge of all things Arizona was amazing and we got a great lesson in Native American History as well. We went to 3 different view points at the Grand Canyon - each more spectacular than the one before. We were able to pull right up and not have to worry about a thing. Larry got the people who wanted to go on a Helicopter Ride all set up and was able to meet the varied needs of each of us in the van. On the way home he even played mixed CD's he had made. A nice touch.
Our Sedona Tour the next day was just as good as the Grand Canyon Tour. Les was our tour guide. He was also very knowledgeable. Played an excellent selection of music that went well with the scenery and gave us a great tour of Sedona and the surrounding Canyons. He even brought along a native american flute that he played at the various stops we made. Nice touch.
I can't even put into words just how wonderful my experience with Detours was. You have to experience it yourself. For I feel I can't even do it justice.
