Phoenix City Highlights

Tour the Valley of the Sun, and you will be treated to sights of famous architecture, modern art, desert views and the individuality that make this desert oasis magical.

Similar to its desert surrounding, Phoenix and Scottsdale are quite unique as you'll discover on this fascinating day tour which takes in South Mountain Park or Papago Park, the Arizona Biltmore, Old Town Scottsdale, Downtown Phoenix and the Arizona State Captiol building.

Both South Mountain and Papago Park are elevated areas from which expansive views of the city can be enjoyed.

The Arizona Biltmore is the only existing luxury hotel with design elements from the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Built in 1929, the Biltmore was crowned the “Jewel of the Desert” and has been the preferred resort for past and present celebrities, heads of state and champions of business.

This famous hotel is nestled within the stunning Biltmore Estates neighbourhood, which will also be included on this portion of the tour, providing unique, up-close views of Wright’s architectural influences.

Old Town Scottsdale provides guests with numerous options to explore the many art galleries and fashion shops, as well as enjoy some fine cuisine from the Southwest USA.

Downtown Phoenix, home to the historic Capitol building, provides for a unique metro area where sports fans, fashion buffs and history enthusiasts intermingle.
