Tucson & Sonora Desert Museum Van Tour

Our tour heads south through the Saguaro National Park with its forest of thousands of majestic Saguaros. These are the largest cacti in the U.S. and are only found in the Sonora Desert. The unique Sonora Desert is found nowhere else on Earth.

Next, explore the Sonora Desert Museum, a world-renowned zoo, natural history museum and botanical garden. See animals in their natural habitats including:

Mountain lions

Prairie dogs

The endangered Mexican wolves

Gila monsters.

There will be plenty of time at the museum for walking among the exhibits and for lunch.

Visit the San Xavier del Bac Mission, "the White Dove of the Desert," built in the 1700s. This mission is one of the finest examples of mission architecture in the U.S.

Browse the El Presidio historic district of Tucson, with its artisan shops. The El Presidio district, with its adobe brick structures, is where present-day Tucson meets its 18th century roots, when the Spanish staked claim to the land that makes up present-day Arizona by building a presidio, or fortress.

Sedona, Monezuma Castle & Jerome Van Tour

Head north with us and see Montezuma Castle National Monument. Established in 1905, it is one of the oldest national monuments in the country and is a great illustration of pre-Columbian living in the Southwest. Next, the Red Rocks of Sedona!

While in Sedona we'll:

Explore the Chapel of the Holy Cross for panoramic photos of Sedona's 2000 foot sheer cliffs;

Browse the interesting galleries and shops in Uptown Sedona;

Explore Oak Creek Canyon on scenic Route 89A.

We'll also take a step back in time when we visit Jerome, where copper was king and mining towns were teeming in the wild territorial days of Arizona. A boom town gone bust, Jerome went from a town of 15,000 at the turn of the 20th century to a ghost town in the 1950's. Its hotels have since been converted into shops and restaurants. Jerome provides excellent views of Sedona from above.
