After departing the Phoenix metro area, our tour travels through the expansive Sonoran Desert filled with the native saguaro cactus. The scenery begins to change as we increase in elevation and views of the cactus fade into pine trees. As we continue further into Northern Arizona, we will travel the outskirts of the Route 66 town of Flagstaff and from the highway, see the San Francisco Peaks among the seemingly endless Ponderosa Pine Forest, the largest contiguous forest of ponderosa pines in the world.

You’ll experience about three hours within the National Park marveling at the beauty that is the Grand Canyon. Don’t forget to visit the historic El Tovar Lodge and Hopi House in Grand Canyon Village. While at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park, you will have opportunities to walk the rim, shop and capture an unlimited number of photographs.

Also included in this tour is a special visit to the stunning Red Rocks of Sedona. Enjoy a photo stop at Bell Rock and approximately 30 minutes in Uptown Sedona. You will also get to enjoy the scenic drive through Oak Creek Canyon which connects Sedona to the Ponderosa pine forests of Flagstaff! No matter you are in Sedona, you are surrounded by incredible views!

        • Effective January 1, 2026, the United States federal government has enacted changes for entrance fees to Grand Canyon National Park for international guests. NON U.S. Resident passengers on a commercial ground tour can choose from the 2 options below to cover their Grand Canyon National Park Entrance Fee:
        1. Purchase the new Non-Resident America the Beautiful Pass for $250. This new pass will cover the entry fee for all National Parks on a commercial tour (or in a Private Vehicle) for the Pass Holder plus up to 3 additional adults on the same reservation (ages 16 and older). This pass will soon be available to purchase online. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE AN ANNUAL PARK PASS PURCHASED IN 2025, YOU CAN STILL USE THAT UNTIL EXPIRATION. You must present this pass to your tour guide upon entering our tour vehicle. Failure to do so will result in a forfeited tour.
        2. Pay the $100 per adult (ages 16 and older) Non Resident Entrance Fee prior to the start of your tour. This fee will be available to pay online or by phone. This $100 fee goes directly to the National Park Service.

        MORE INFORMATION

        Please be aware that this new fee policy is the policy of the National Park Service at the direction of the Department of the Interior, and that tour operators conducting tours as a CUA Holder (Commercial Use Authorization) are required to collect these fees and remit them to the NPS each time we enter the park. The National Park Service continues to provide free entry for ages 15 and younger when accompanied by an adult.
