The Grand Canyon

Tempe, Ariz. (Vocus) January 21, 2010

As the temperatures drop and snow piles up across the country, vacationers often look to Arizona for an escape from the winter’s cold chill. Oftentimes, the exciting decision to take a trip is overshadowed by the burden of planning how to get there, how to get around town and what to see and do. But, in Tempe, Arizona, Open Road Tours and Detours of Arizona make trip planning hassle free and fun. Now is the best time to book tours before they sell out during the busy winter and spring season.

Tempe, Arizona is the perfect starting place to explore the entire state by taking day trips to the Grand Canyon, Sedona or Tombstone. Both Open Road Tours and Detours of Arizona will pick up and drop off Arizona visitors at any Tempe hotel or resort.

Open Road Tours, a division of Creative Travel Management LLC, has been providing scheduled and custom tours throughout Arizona and the West since 1987. The owners and their staff have a love of Arizona that truly comes across in each and every tour. Their mission has always been to share their passion for the West with others through safe, fun and educational travel. They have entertained groups as small as two and as large as several thousand. The “Web specials” link on http://www.openroadtours.com features seasonal money saving offers.

Detours of Arizona is an Arizona–based tour company that was created by tour guides who remember what it was like to experience the wonders of Arizona for the first time. Detours transports individual visitors and small groups in a fleet of customized, comfortable vehicles, including luxury SUVs and 10 and 13 passenger vans with leather captain’s chairs. They pride themselves on being able to transport guests to Arizona’s best sights and their vehicles allow them to explore off the beaten path dirt roads along the way. The Detours Web site, http://www.detoursaz.com, features details about each tour and you can sign up for an email newsletter to receive their latest specials.

Some of the most popular day tours take guests to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Tucson and Tombstone. Tours of the legendary and scenic Apache Trail, located just minutes from Tempe, are most popular in the spring when the desert wildflowers are in full bloom. Arizona is rich with spectacular scenery, fascinating culture and interesting characters. The best way to experience it is with guides that know each area inside and out.

In addition to day trips, Detours also offers half-day or full-day tours, even overnight trips and adventurous options like jeep, helicopter or Grand Canyon Railroad excursions. Detours is AAA Arizona’s preferred operator.

Open Road Tours offers a valley discovery tour, where guests can see some of the most popular sites in the Tempe, Phoenix and Scottsdale area. Open Road Tours is also featuring their Experiential Journeys trips this year. The Experiential trips are all completely custom. Guests can choose from pre-designed itineraries such as Sedona (or Southern Arizona) Wine Country, Native American Cultures, Spiritual Renewal, Art and Artists and several others. Or, Open Road can completely design a custom tour based on the interests of the guests. For the local visitor, it doesn’t have to be a far-reaching multi-day trip. Open Road can customize day trips as well.
