1-Day Grand Canyon and Sedona Adventure from Scottsdale or Phoenix

4.5 2 reviews
If you are looking for a great guided tour from Scottsdale to the Grand Canyon and Sedona (in a day) - this is the ONE! The guide will make or break the tour because the day is a lengthy day and the guide matters - Cody is the BEST!. On this trip, Cody was the driver, host and guide. He has a professional demeanor and he set expectations for the day upfront! On the way to the Southern Rim of the Grand Canyon, Cody provided excellent history, happenings and even places we may want to see/explore if we had another day or two in the area. He is not a stranger to Arizona and shared stories that were of interest to everyone! Cody also provided lunch on the trip and it was great! There were also sufficient stops along with way for bathroom breaks and places to pick up a snack or beverage. The two primary stops for the Grand Canyon were completely amazing and there was plenty of time to shop, hike, take photos and explore! After lunch, the tour took us on one of the 10 most scenic drives in the U.S. to Sedona (home of all the Red Rock). We were able to shop and have time to explore this touristy city in AZ. Cody took the tour for a final view of the city looking at the vast panoramic view of the mountains and valleys surrounding Sedona. This tour exceeded our group's (4) expectations and we all recommend it to anyone who has a day to spend going from the desert to the mountain views. When our group discussed the investment of time and money - we felt like this was the best activity of our trip. This is an amazing day - don't miss it!
