Win a Guided Tour of Phoenix from Open Road Tours

Vanterra_at_CanyonEntertaining out-of-town guests during the holidays? Or taking time off to enjoy the season yourself? Either way, consider a guided tour of Phoenix and Scottsdale’s best sights!

In celebration of the holidays, Open Road Tours is giving away their Valley Area Highlights tour for two people. This is a $120.00 value.

In business since 1986, Open Road Tours knows Arizona like the back of their hand!  A full service tour operator based in Phoenix and with an additional office in Flagstaff, they specialize in sightseeing and adventure travel throughout Arizona and the Southwest United States. Trips range from half-day highlight tours to seven-day adventures featuring river rafting, hiking, jeep tours and horseback rides. 

An excellent introduction to the Valley of the Sun and Arizona, the Valley Area Highlights tour is a ½ day trip to Phoenix and Scottsdale’s historic sights including the state capitol, the Biltmore area where luxurious shopping awaits, exquisite Paradise Valley, the amazing Camelback Mountain, the regal Wrigley Mansion, and the fantastic boutiques, art galleries and unique restaurants of Scottsdale’s Fifth Avenue/Old Town district.  You’ll have an hour to browse these great shops and galleries and see for yourself why Phoenix is one of the countries top vacation destinations.

Informative tour guides with a great sense of humor make it worth your while.  They’ll give you the scoop on each nook and cranny of the Valley that even the locals don’t always know! 

In my travels, I’ve always been a proponent of taking the town tour prior to setting out on my own.  It’s a chance to see the highlights, learn about the town’s culture and people and allows me to determine what I want to investigate further on my own.  It’s a great holiday present or a nice escape for a local.

Here are the rules of the contest:
• Leave a comment on this post telling me why you’re interested in the tour and who you are giving it to as a gift or if you’re taking yourself.  Include your name and an email address.
• Contest starts today (December 11) and ends on December 21.  I will draw one winner on December 22nd.
• Contest open to U.S. residents only.

    I WANT TO GIVE THIS TRIP TO MY HUSBAND JONATHAN WHO HAS BEEN IN ENGLAND FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS IN THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE. I KNOW HE’S READY TO COME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD U. S. OF A AND I CAN’T THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO WELCOME HIM BACK.

    LOVE FROM CHICAGO-

    I really want to win this tour because my friend from California is coming into Phoenix for the Holidays. This is her first Christmas alone after the end of her 15 year marriage. I want to make it special for her and believe this tour would be a wonderful experience to get to know some unique aspects of Phoenix !

    Sal,

    Thanks for your note. I will add your name to our contest. Good Luck!

  • I’d like to win a guided tour of Phoenix/Scottsdale because on my last visit, my car rental cost was over $700. It would be nice to have someone else do the driving, so I can fully enjoy being a tourista. Thanks.
