 | NO CHILDREN UNDER 10: We unfortunately do not allow children under ten. The van is small and intimate and the walk is not suitable for young or infant children. Please call us if you have multiple children over ten but one that isn't and we can discuss this with you. |
|---|
| SHOWS :Please DO NOT, never-ever-ever, swear-on-a-grave, BOOK A SHOW on the same night as your tour. There's always a slight chance that your tour experience could be vastly enhanced by a non-charged bonus like a flat tire, inclement weather, accident on the freeway, or even get caught in a herd of my beloved Michigan state animals, construction cones! |

WE DECIDED to offer the Grand Canyon Sunset Tour after watching the sun set over the Grand Canyon. There's nothing like a Grand Canyon sunset,which National Geographic rates as one of the top ten places in the world to watch a sunset. The natural tranquility of the Grand Canyon blended with the beauty creates a lifelong experience. The most stunning sunsets occur in winter while the most tranquil occur in the summer. The sunset tour includes 3 HOURS at the South Rim plus watching the sun set, a McDonald’s breakfast, a picnic lunch, and a fully-guided tour with your experience. Time really is the only asset that we can give you to completely absorb the tranquility and splendor of the Grand Canyon and we'll make sure that you get plenty of that. It is in this time that we’ll guide you along a flat, easy trail so you can enjoy the Grand Canyon as Mother Nature intended; peacefully along a winding trail where the edge of earth touches the faint blue sky. |

| ..ROUTE 66 STOP IN SELIGMAN,ARIZONA by grand-adventures.com |
|
|---|
This stop is seasonal. The shops are closed from December through April. We will stop based on season and if it's not too crowded with big buses. Have you seen the Disney movie "Cars"? Well, Seligman, Arizona is a very famous place but still hidden from mainstream tourism. John Lassiter, the producer of Cars, spent quite a bit of time here and many of the characters from Cars are based on REAL PEOPLE from Seligman. It's also home to the real Angel of Route 66. There was a time in America when Route 66,the first major road project and interstate road in America that connected Chicago to Los Angeles, fell by the wayside. It took a true Angel to lobby Congress to recognize Route 66 as a National Historic site. Angel Delgadillo is the Angel of Route 66 and his efforts virtually saved the route from extinction. It was his actions that inspired John Lassiter to write the movie "Cars". Please visit our Route 66 Page. |
