Itinerary
This tour includes a historical rail journey to the Grand Canyon followed by guided time along the rim of this Natural Wonder. Begin with a scenic drive up Oak Creek Canyon and views of Arizona's highest mountain peaks. Then continue to the town of Williams where you'll board the Grand Canyon Railway for a one-way journey through tall pine forests and across wide plains to Grand Canyon National Park. Along the way, you'll be entertained by western musicians and cowboy characters.
Upon arrival at the national park, you'll enjoy your first spectacular view of the Grand Canyon. Drink in the scenery, take time to explore and enjoy lunch (on your own) at a local eatery. The remainder of your tour will be in our comfortable touring van with our informative guide. Visit our favorite overlooks along the South and East rims of the Canyon including distant views of the Colorado River and wildlife.
Upon leaving the national park, you'll travel across the vast Navajo Nation and learn about their land and culture. There will be views of the Little Colorado River Gorge as well. A stop will be made at historic Cameron Trading Post with its broad selection of souvenirs, Native American arts and crafts. Along the return route, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the Painted Desert cliffs and volcanic fields near Flagstaff. What an incredible day!

Excellent experience. Guides (Bill and StevveeB) were both very friendly and really knew their stuff!!! Lots of information. The tour van was comfortable and they made lots of "comfort" stops. Tour kept on time. It was a long day but we saw many amazing things and totally enjoyed it.

This trip was amazing! Our tour guide Wayne was knowledgeable, fun, and has a genuine love for the area. We got to see so much in one day. We loved being able to enjoy all of the scenery and learn about the history of the area instead of worrying about the logistics of travel.
The only downside was that the seating in the van was tight so it was a bit uncomfortable by the end since there was a lot of driving involved. But even with that, would definitely strongly recommend this tour!!
