Itinerary
We will visit Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona. The Chapel of the Holy Cross is a church built right into the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona. On the sides and in the front, Sedona sprawls out majestically, a sweeping landscape of red rocks, trees, and nestled houses. Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte are visible to the south, and Cathedral Rock to the west. We will grab a bite to eat, and then we will head to the Grand Canyon! Driving time from Phoenix to Sedona is 2 hours.
Oak Creek Canyon is famous the world around for its spectacular scenery. We will stop at Oak Creek Canyon Vista. Here you can get a bird's eye view of what awaits you down the road and, at the same time, shop for Native American jewelry and other craft items from the local Native American artists who set up displays along the pathways.
Grand Canyon National Park, in Arizona, is home to much of the immense Grand Canyon, with its layered bands of red rock revealing millions of years of geological history. Viewpoints include Mather Point, Yavapai Observation Station and architect Mary Colter’s Lookout Studio and her Desert View Watchtower. Lipan Point, with wide views of the canyon and Colorado River, is a popular, especially at sunrise and sunset. Driving time from Sedona to the Grand Canyon is 2.5 hours. Driving time from the Grand Canyon back to Phoenix is 3.5 hours. We will have two 15 minute bathroom breaks on the way to the Grand Canyon and two 15 minute bathroom breaks on the way back to Phoenix for a total time of 60 minutes for the 4 breaks.

Enjoyed every minute! Naala was very informative with historical information that she shared during the tour . Naala pointing out the vegetation, land scapes along the way to the Grand Canyon. The tour was 12.5 hours but the day flew by ! Worth every penny !
I had an absolutely amazing experience with Elegant Travel LLC / Naala on my Grand Canyon day trip! From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organized, and stress-free. The transportation was comfortable, punctual, and very professionally handled. Naala was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the journey both informative and enjoyable. I never felt rushed, and the itinerary was perfectly planned to maximize our time at the Grand Canyon while still allowing us to relax and take in the breathtaking views. What truly stood out was the attention to detail and the genuine care for guests. It felt personal, not just like another tour group. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and memorable Grand Canyon experience, I highly recommend Elegant Travel LLC. Five stars without hesitation!
We had a wonderful trip to the Grand Canyon. Our guide, Naala, was knowledge, fun, a great driver and flexible with our family. It was the best tour I've ever been on. I highly recommend!

Fantastic trip! Really enjoyed the experience and it was something I thought I would never do in my life. Tour guide was amazing and knowledgable. Very personal and was interested in getting to know our group. Sedona and Grand Canyon were absolutely breathtaking and guide knew the best places to drop us off and tell us where to go.
That the tour guide was excellent and the view of the tour of the Grand Canyon was a life changing experience.
Naala kept us updated from the start and Will gave us an amazing tour. Took us to a great view in Sedona and Grand Canyon. They are very friendly and really made the tour worth it. I would highly recommend them.
We were the only clients for that day so effectively we had the car & guide, Naala, all to ourselves! It was an awesome trip from the get go. Naala, who owns Elegant Travel, was punctual & very well organised & an extremely careful driver of a well maintained, clean & super comfortable vehicle. She had more than ample water/snacks for us & made sure we had enough comfort stops. The day passed so quickly because there was never a dull moment! Naala is so personable & gracious; with a wealth of knowledge not only of the flora, fauna & geographical wonders of Arizona but also beyond, due to her extensive travel experience. Her commentaries/anecdotes enroute there & back were relevant, entertaining & interesting. She brought us straight to the highlights of Sedona, the Grand Canyon, lunch venue, Arts & Crafts market, maximising the entire day's enjoyment. She updated us regularly on where we were/what we are viewing & we are truly appreciative of her dedication to ensure the best experience ever for her guests. We highly recommend Elegant Travel; the company is certified in health & safety/legal matters & we felt very safe in its hands. We have come away with the most wonderful memories of the spectacular Grand Canyon and Sedona and it's all thanks to Naala & her flawless professionalism. It was also amazing how she can spot wild horses/cows miles away in the open terrain! :)
Naala was our driver. She was amazing. So much knowledge to share with us. This is a trip of a life time. It's a must. We have always wanted to see the Grand Canyon since moving here. This is the best way to go because you get to sit back and relax and enjoy the view
