1-Day Grand Canyon Experience Tour from Sedona

Day 1 Sedona-Grand Canyon-Sedona(220 miles)

Guests will be picked up from their downtown Sedona hotels to begin this tour. Today, we will experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the Grand Canyon in the luxurious comfort of a custom-built, all-terrain vehicle. You will enjoy the ride in an upgraded Mercedes Sprinter Van, with only 10 seats which ensures quality time and personal attention from your guide. Begin with a drive up Oak Creek Canyon, named one of the top most scenic highways in the country on the way to the East entrance of the Grand Canyon. We could enjoy the gourmet boxed lunch on the rim of the canyon at Desert View, standing 60 feet above the rim and offering unparalleled views of the Colorado River down at the base of the Canyon. There will be plenty of stops at various scenic overlooks as you head west to the Grand Canyon Village. There we could take in the historic architecture of El Tovar, shop at the Hopi House, and continue to soak in the aweinspiring views of the canyon walls before returning to Sedona.
