5.00De tour American west is a good company who organised this one day trip for us . Mark H was a great driver and guide and was explaining a lot of history . We had ample time to see Grand Canyon and Sedona . I would strongly recommend if you have only a day in Phienix to go on this tour Dr senthil London UK 22/8/2025

5.00This was a great, relaxed, and comfortable tour of the Phoenix and Scottsdale. My wife and I really enjoyed it. And Tracy was an excellent guide. He gave first hand experiences and historical information about the places we visited. I would highly recommend it to anyone and had I not done it before I'd do it again. Mike
Disappointing compared to other city tours

2.00We were picked up at our air BnB promptly at 9 am by Mark, who was very cheerful and friendly. The confirmation email I received the night before said we would be picked up by Bruce but who knows, maybe it was a last minute change. The mini coach was clean and comfortable and Mark offered us bottled water from a cooler. Mark drove us to the destinations outlined in the itinerary, but he really didn’t offer many details about the history, interesting stories about the area, or point out anything interesting that we couldn’t already see. We have taken city bus tours in Philadelphia, Palm Springs, and Seattle and have always been happy with them. Unfortunately, Mark’s tour was disappointing compared to our past tours. He did suggest a wonderful place for lunch in old town Scottsdale and is a nice guy, but for the price, I don’t feel we got our money’s worth.
Excellent and informative tour of Phoenix!

5.00This was an outstanding tour of Phoenix area. The price was reasonable for a tour in a classy and comfortable vehicle. They provided cool water during the 102 degree weather. The tour was informative and professional. This was an excellent tour.
Would definitely ask for Tracy!

5.00Tracy was a wealth of fun information. One of the teenagers in the group didn’t want the tour to end.
