Sure, I did a tour. Check out viator. We ended up doing a circle island tour, to check out the highlights on the island. In hindsight (we also had a rental car), we could have hit all the destinations on our own, but it was actually kind of nice not worrying out when/how to get there without dealing with all the details for a change. There are one or two places we probably would not have known to go on our own, and we also get commentary from the local tour driver (who talked about everything from history to real estate prices there)

A big part of the decision to do the tour was visiting the Arizona Memorial. I had an epic fail moment and somehow forgot to request tickets ahead of the trip, even though a friend reminded me to do it. Partly because it was a last minute decision to go so there was a lot of planning in a shortened amount of time. No regrets - tour took care of figuring when/how and the little details, and it was very nice for a change.
