Top Arizona Day Trips - page 12

Me and my girl did a day trip to the Grand Canyon from Sedona. Ed, our tour guide was great. Having an experienced tour guide is the way to go for sure. Stopped at several great lookout spots to capture breathtaking views and pictures, and allowed the group (there was 8 of us in the bus/van) to decide how long to stay at each place. Overall travel time was 2.5 hrs each way, with about 6 hrs spent at the canyon and stopping for lunch and a few sightseeing Trading Post shops along the way. We all loved it.

The Upper Canyon has quite a few stairs both up and down after a level slot canyon walk. Some people might have trouble with that. The information we received I thought covered that issue well. I had a complete knee surgery eight weeks before this tour and I had no trouble with the walks or the steps. But I was a little winded after the return hike after the Upper Canyon….mainly because I’m getting to be an old fart! Our tour guides were Oren and Dana and they were excellent.

Visiting Antelope Canyon was absolutely breathtaking—one of those places that truly lives up to the hype. The way the sunlight filters through the narrow sandstone walls creates the most incredible glow, with colors shifting from deep reds to soft oranges and even purples depending on the time of day. Walking through the canyon feels almost unreal, like stepping into a natural work of art carved over thousands of years. The smooth, wave-like formations and tight passageways make every turn feel like a new photo opportunity. If you catch it at the right time, the famous light beams shining down are simply magical. The guided tour adds a lot to the experience too. Learning about the history, geology, and cultural significance from Navajo guides makes it more meaningful and helps you appreciate just how special this place is. Overall, Antelope Canyon is a must-see if you’re in Arizona—peaceful, stunning, and unlike anywhere else. Just be sure to book ahead and bring your camera… you’ll definitely want to capture every moment!

This was a fantastic experience with our guide Auron. We only had 6 people in our group which was ideal with only smaller groups ahead of us. The canyon is stunning and we had plenty of time to slowly wander through taking way too many photos! Thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

Traveling during their low season was great, more flexible schedule. Our drive/guide, Sam, was fantastic! So knowledgeable about the tribes, geology, hiking trails, places to visit and eat. The company partnered with Dixie’s (Navajo) to access the slot canyon. Groups of 15 people. Eli, our guide, shared history of this land/canyon; helped us take awesome pictures; played his Navajo Flute in the canyon (beautiful music).

This tour was efficient and informative. Cody does a great job at keeping the group on time but never feeling rushed. The amount of time spent at each stop is perfect. We really enjoyed our day and would recommend to anyone wanting to see the Grand Canyon.

This party started as soon as we hopped into the van. Everyone onboard (16 of us) was fun and friendly. Host/driver Kelly was great. She got us around safely and gave great tips at each of the four local wineries we visited. The packaged charcuterie snack included hit the spot. Bread was super fresh. Pick up and communication were easy and wineries were each unique and fun. Read the fine print: wine tasting fees are not included. But still a total blast of an afternoon. Cheers!

I had an amazing time on this tour! Cody is so knowledgeable and you can tell he is passionate about what he does. He knew so much about the areas we were going to and he explained so much during the trip there. The views were amazing — pictures don’t even do it justice. I’d book again!
