Michelle_F, Aug 2026

Best value! Just do it!!

Great tour! Easy to use, great tips and fun narration. I would prefer a few more stories and fun facts, but otherwise perfect! It’s so inexpensive and I loved that it took us to the starting point of Scenic byway. Misses this incredible view last time into Sedona because his takes you a different (less gorgeous) way in from HWY17.

Very fun

I was a little nervous to do this, but it was so much fun. Our guide, Angie, was great. I totally trusted her as she handled the terrain. She was funny and had a lot of interesting information and stories about the area. I am so glad my son suggested doing this!

This was a fun and...

This was a fun and informative trip. Most all of the travelers on our trip would have preferred more time at Tortilla Flats and Goldfield Ghost Town and less at the Elvis Chapel and Museum area. We barely had time to get some food and no time to explore either place. The Dolly Steamboat was a fun and relaxing experience and the Captain was quite entertaining. Our driver gave us lots on historical facts and flora and fauna information.

Breath taking

This is hands-down, the best tour agency that you can go through. The amount of knowledge that our tour guide John had was absolutely outstanding. He went above and beyond any expectation me and my fiancé had. I plan on bringing our children back for a trip with John. The van was impeccable. He was very attentive to any in every need me and her had 10 out of 10 recommended.

We originally did this...

We originally did this tour last year through another company but the weather put a damper on our tour. This year was better! Our group first went to Montezuma Castle, and then we toured Sedona a bit. The Red Rocks are beautiful when the weather is good. We ended the day in Jerome. Our guide, Jeff, also showed us some scenic views so we appreciated that! Definitely a must-do!

Incredible Experience at Lower Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend!

Our day started bright and early, and the team was right on time for pickup — always a great start! Once everyone was on board, we made a quick stop for breakfast, which was a nice touch before heading out on the road. Our guide, Mike, was absolutely fantastic. He was so knowledgeable about the different types of rocks, the history of Arizona, and the Native cultures of the region. I learned so much and enjoyed every moment of it. Both Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend were breathtaking. Mike went above and beyond to make the experience special, especially at Horseshoe Bend — he took the best photos of our group and somehow managed to capture the entire bend perfectly with us in the shot!We stopped at the Bird House for lunch, and it did not disappoint — some of the best chicken I’ve had in a long time. All in all, the day was perfectly organized, filled with beautiful sights, great food, and amazing company. I’ll definitely be back to join them for the Grand Canyon tour next time!

Wonderful experience!

David greeted us right on time and made us feel comfortable immediately. He brought a cooler full of snacks, fresh fruit and waters, and told us if we needed anything to let him know. We all felt great about him from the start. He shared so much knowledge about Arizona on the drive up, and stopped when we needed a break. When we arrived, he brought us to all the best spots of the canyon! We walked around for about an hour, then ate lunch at a restaurant on site. (He made reservations for us!) After lunch we had time to visit the gift shops. David then took us to see a few more views before we finally headed back for the day. We had a fantastic day with him, and learned so much. All 6 of us in our group would highly recommend doing this experience with David. He was truly wonderful!
