Grand Canyon Deluxe Day Trip from Sedona

Jenae_G, Apr 2026

Spectacular Tour of the Canyon!

I have nothing but spectacular things to say about my Grand Canyon Tour experience with Great Ventures Day Tours. My friend and I went during Easter weekend after being unsuccessful with booking to see Antelope Canyons. Communication from the company was great from the start of booking to the very end. We were paired with our tour guide, Sheldon and I have nothing but phenominal things to say about him. He is truly amazing and was so knowledgeable with EVERYTHING from Sedona to Grand Canyon and everything in between. We were picked up from our hotel in Sedona around 7am and were finished around 6/6:30pm. Our sprinter van was clean, spacious, AC was comfortable and there was enough water to go around. There was a total of 10 of us in the group (including my friend and I). Sheldon was very accommodating with frequent check-ins, asking everyone where they wanted to stop along the way, best places to explore, and how long. It was so helpful. Sheldon knew all the best spots for pictures in the Canyon and it made the whole experience 1000x better! Our group had ample time for lunch and never felt rushed. Even though it was a long day, every penny was worth it for this experience. I can't thank Sheldon enough for how amazing he was throughout this tour. (even if you don't get Sheldon, i'm sure everyone there is fantastic). Would book again next time i'm visiting AZ!

Half-day Sedona Sightseeing Tour

Fabulous Tour.

Tyler was our guide for the day and was great. He departed and returned on schedule and the pace of the tour was very good. Tyler explained a lot of the areas history, geology and vegetation along the way. We did the tour on our first full day after arriving in Sedona and it gave us a good overall view of the area for the rest of the weeks adventures. Good value and highly recommended.

Fabulous Tour of the Grand Canyon

Miguel Montoya was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the Grand Canyon's history, and the foliage and animals we saw from the van. It was an unforgettable experience for us, with magnificent views from the stops. Miguel knew just where to stand to get the best views, he took pictures, and was very polite. We highly recommend him.

Photographers Dream

It was the most amazing experience. The pictures are remarkable a photographers dream. We had this nice Indian older lady who captured all the unique designs in the canyon walls on our phone cameras for us. It was way worth the money. I would highly recommend doing it with Your company.

Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Day Tour from Sedona

Karen_M, Mar 2026

Visiting Antelope Canyon...

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!

PRIVATE Tour to Antelope Canyon/Horseshoe Bend

Roberta_Z, Mar 2026

Amazing adventure

The whole day was amazing! Our tour guide, Aaron, made the 3 hour trip to Page enjoyable pointing out the places of interest along the way. We stopped at Horseshoe Bend and then continued on. Aaron was able to adjust the schedule to fit our needs. The experience visiting Canyon X was terrific! Our Navajo guide, Garrett, was very helpful and took pictures of us in the canyon. The entire day was something we will all remember forever.

Grand Canyon Landmarks Tour by Airplane with Optional Hummer Tour

Victoria_W, Feb 2026

Great experience!

Super fun 40 minute ride over the canyon! Great views and it was a recorded narration over the canyon. The only drawback is that the plane holds many people and they assign seating, meaning a window seat is not guaranteed. However, you will still be able to see well even in one towards the middle. Would do again. Office was welcoming and had a gift shop. Plenty of parking.

Laura_H, Feb 2026

An over-the-top experience!

Our tour guide (Cyra??) was fabulous, a wealth of information and history, she provided clear instructions. We felt like "kids in a candy store" as the views were so stunning. As a family, in lieu of xmas presents, we do experiences .... and this experience was truly magnificent. Merry Christmas to us!

Kathi_S, Jan 2026

Long day but worth it!

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).
