Arizona Tours & Holidays
There can’t be that many names in America that instantly conjure up images of cowboys on horseback, Native American tribes camping under the stars and endless miles of dusty desert land where the silence is only broken by the howling of coyotes, but Arizona is one of them.
Thanks to its proximity to five neighbouring states and almost 400 miles’ worth of Mexican border, our tours to Arizona offer a complex and fascinating cultural identity. As the home of Navajo, Hopi and Apache Native American tribes, you’ll discover this land is rich in legends, nomadic ancestry and fascinating mythology that you’re unlikely to find anywhere else in the world. .
Aside from the mysterious legends and local hospitality you’ll find on our Arizona holidays, you can’t deny that the iconic, other-worldly landmarks such as the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley only add to this states mesmerising allure.

In focus: Local Arizona culture
The vast desert plains and mountain foothills of Arizona have long been held in high regard by the Native American people who truly have the right to call the state their home. Visiting the Navajo Tribal Park in Monument Valley or the Havasupai Indian Reservation close to the Grand Canyon on your Arizona tour will not only allow you to learn more about the ancient traditions of these great nations but also gives you ample opportunities to explore these incredible landscapes. Day hikes, trading posts and cultural exchanges make a visit to a Native American tribe a truly memorable experience.
Best time to visit Arizona?
Spring and autumn (particularly May and September) are good months to plan your holiday to Arizona, as temperatures are cool in the mountains and warm in the desert without being too extreme either way. If you’re planning on visiting in July and August, the heat will dry and temperatures can range from 32-36 °C, with occasional brief downpours. Desert temperatures are known to fluctuate between cold and hot all year round so be sure to pack adequate clothing. Arizona winters are often pleasantly warm, but if you’re lucky, snow can still be seen in the earlier months of the year.
Emma Bradshaw-Smith Canyons and Navajo Lands
Gordon McGowan Trek America: Canyons & National ParksThis was a great trip, made better by a fantastic guide who went out of her way to ensure everyone had a great time.
Marin Popa Trek America: Canyons & National ParksThe itinerary was very well-balanced, including a combination of various sightseeing and walks. For us, first-time visitors to these parts of the USA, every day brought something new and amazing, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Mike, our guide, is a consummate professional – he ensured everything went like clockwork and without doubts or worries, he gave us all the information we needed, told us in an attractive storytelling manner short historical, geographical, and social narratives, enabling us to understand better the places we saw. His permanent optimism and sense of humor made everything look easy and every minute pleasant and worth remembering. The whole atmosphere was relaxing and as magical as the sites we visited. Thanks! Suggestions for improving the experience: 1. It should be noted that the seats in the van are quite narrow, especially in the last row. There were 11 of us and we fit in the van relatively comfortably. A party of 13 would feel very tight, especially on the longer drives. 2. The best accommodations were in Tonopah and Zion. I understand that there are few other options in most of the locations, but at the price we paid, better motels would have been welcomed. Sorry if I seem a bit picky – all in all, it was a trip to remember, an experience of a lifetime.
