About this tour

Spend a full day discovering the Grand Canyon and Sedona on an adventure departing from Scottsdale or Phoenix. The journey brings you to two viewpoints along the Grand Canyon’s South Rim, with time to take in the scenery, browse gift shops, and enjoy a hearty lunch. Then continue to Sedona, where you can explore uptown and pause for photos of the striking red rocks.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.92 from 334 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Scottsdale
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.5. Top 19% in Scottsdale means it ranks in the top 19% of tours in Scottsdale by this score.
