DETOURS Exclusive Southwest Tours
Scottsdale, Az – Arizona’s acclaimed custom tour operator, DETOURS, has announced new tour departures for spring and summer 2009. DETOURS of Arizona has made a name for themselves operating custom touring vans driven by guides who are encyclopedic in their knowledge. Tours depart from the finest hotels and resorts in Phoenix & Scottsdale for day tours and multi-day tours of Arizona and the southwest. DETOURS travel adventures can be seen at www.detoursaz.com The fully guided tours are given in the comfort of DETOURS Adventure Vans which are outfitted with 10 leather captain’s chairs.
The newly announced Sedona Wine Country Tour connects the red rock beauty of Sedona with the small wineries nestled in the heart of Verde Valley in a landscape threaded with volcanic ridges just south of Sedona. The upscale van touring company, DETOURS, has combined the unique scenery of the region and the Sedona experience with tastings at four premier wineries: Javelina Leap, Oak Creek Vineyard, Alcantara, and Page Springs Cellars. One of the best things about the tour is leaving the driving to a pro as the guide delivers everyone home safe and sound.
The Yoga Elements Tour connects yoga enthusiasts with some of the most unique destinations in the American southwest. Small groups of no more than eight travel with their own personal instructor, accomplished Kundalini practitioner Lauren Crawley, on a five day excursion that departs from Phoenix/Scottsdale. Each location selected for yoga exercise is like a gem to be treasured. Gentle canyon breezes caress you as you view the splendor of Sedona’s red rock formations. See a fiery sunset over the Grand Canyon from a unique vantage point where the sound of silence pours out of the vast canyon. Touch the water of the flowing Colorado River as the light glistens off towering canyon walls at the very mouth of the Grand Canyon. The expanse of blue water that caresses the red rock desert shoreline of sparkling Lake Powell is spread before you as you greet a new day and the delicately colored sheer walls of Canyon X become nature’s perfect yoga studio. The Arizona Elements Yoga Tour includes two Kundalini sessions per day in settings that engage the senses.
Tour departure dates for the very popular Hillerman Country tours have been announced. Millions of readers worldwide have experienced the thrilling stories created by acclaimed author Tony Hillerman and now those fans can personally experience some of the captivating settings of Hillerman’s novels in a 5 day tourism masterpiece.
