Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Route 66
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.
Stop At: Williams Depot, Williams, AZ
Williams will be our first stop along the tour for a chance to experience Route 66, the iconic American highway steeped in rich tradition. While in Williams, guests will have the opportunity to “get their kicks on Route 66” with walks along the original route, explore the local shops and capture souvenir photos highlighting a bygone era in classic American history. Also known as the Will Rodgers Highway, Route 66 is the most recognizable road in the United States and stretched 2,448 miles from Chicago to California upon completion. While you are enjoying Route 66, your guide will pick up your picnic lunch made fresh that morning.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Grand Canyon Airport, 112 Runway Rd, Wellsboro, PA 16901, USA
Just before entering the Grand Canyon National Park, you will be checked in for your 45 minute helicopter flight, spanning over 90 miles of the Grand Canyon. After your flight, your guide will bring you back into the National Park to discover more by foot. You will have opportunities to walk the rim, shop, capture an unlimited number of photographs, or relax with the best seat in the house.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Grand Canyon South Rim, Highway 64, Grand Canyon National Park, AZ 86023
After your helicopter portion of the tour you will regroup with your tour guide in the national park.
Duration: 2 hours

Sam, de tour guide was absolutely mind blowing and extremely knowledgeable about the geographies of GC and Arizona. I give full marks to Sam. Pilot of Maverick was amazing, explained GC topographies fantastically.
The BEST way to see the beautiful Grand Canyon! Fred was a great pilot and was perfect how he advised us to look right and then turn our heads as we entered into the Canyon!
All in alll it was a great tour. All be it, my tour didn't quite follow the tour description. There was a plus and and a minus here and there. The pick up at the hotel was a great convenience. There was a small detour to Sedona to pick up others. This was a plus. It gave a great opportunity to see red rock country. Spent about 25 minutes there. Took a photo or two. Then onwards to Williams. Spent about 30 minutes there and few photos taken. Note, the views and vistas along the way were spectacular. Next up is the helicopter tour. Cause of smoke in the canyon the helicopters can't fly into the greater part of the canyon. We can't do the 45 min tour. We are offered an abbreviated '30 min' tour just across and back. Actual time almost 25 minute with a 30 refund. Still a spectacular experience but not what was expected or described. Then we spent about a half hour or so on the rim and then the return back. I would have liked to have spent a little more time along the conyon rim. The views may not have been crisp but were amazing. I don't when if ever I would have the opportunity to go to the Grand Canyon again. Notes: there's a lot of driving involved. There's a lot of distances to cover. You do spend most of your time in transport. There are ample pit stops. I wouldn't have called lunch a lunch. A ceasar salad , two Oreos, tiny bag of chips, and a small apple a meal. When there's an opportunity to get something to eat along the way, do so or bring your own meal with you. It's 13 hours. Water is provided.
This was breathtaking and was worth every penny! Highly recommend this tour!
The guide was very friendly and informative, the Helicopter tour was brilliant, and it was awesome to see the Grand Canyon from above in it's varsity. We did only get a very limited time in the park it's self.
If you are in the PHX area, this is the trip to do. They pick you up at your hotel, drive you up whilst stopping for some photo ops and lunch. The driver (I think it was Mike or Mitch sorry =( he was very knowledgeable and fun. Then they drop you off at airport for your AMAZING flight, they are waiting for you when your return to take you to a few more scenic spots before escorting you back to your abode on a very comfortable tour bus! I took my father on this trip and he loved it, it was a once and a life time event!
The guide was late at the pick-up but he was nice along the day. The helicopter great experience! We also enjoyed the rest of the tour, Sedona was a discovery
Loved this trip! I was scared of the helicopter but once I was in and flying I was fine. The pilot was so calming and showed us the Grand Canyon in perfect style. Our van driver Jason did a good job making sure we were comfortable and seeing what we wanted to see. It was a great day!
