Comprehensive Grand Canyon Tour from Sedona

About this tour

Most day tours show you the South Rim's greatest hits and call it done. The Comprehensive tour keeps going — east along Desert View Drive to the canyon's most dramatic overlooks and the Desert View Watchtower, the stone tower Mary Colter built in 1932 that most day-trippers never reach.

It's the pick for travelers who suspect — correctly — that they'll only do this once, and want the full circuit in a single day: both rims' viewpoints, the Watchtower, and the historic village, with a guide connecting it all.

What's included

• Full-day tour covering South and East Rim viewpoints
• Desert View Watchtower and Grand Canyon Village
• Professional guide, park entry handled

Good to know

• The longest of the standard day trips — worth it for completists, a lot for small kids.
• Prefer a shorter day? The standard Day Trip runs 9–11 hours.
