We were picked up in Phoenix. Our tour guide Nala was very friendly, kind, and informative about our adventure ahead to Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. Though our drive was a long 4hr drive there, we made some pit stops for bathroom breaks which were very helpful along the way.The weather was starting to cool down compared to weeks before Labor Day weekend. The Canyon views were truly out of the Windows background and The Horseshoe Bend was truly breathtaking. It’s been a few days since we’ve been home and I find myself missing Arizona and all the sightseeing we experienced.

Sedona Day Trip From Scottsdale
We had a great time with Mike. We felt we got to see as much of Sedona as we could, given it was a day trip from Scottsdale. It was the perfect mix of hiking, exploring, and shopping. Mike was super knowledgeable and a joy to be around. We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to take a day trip to Sedona.

Care free travel experience
Our guide/ driver was extremely knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts related to current conditions with each different areas along the route . This made the long trek from Phoenix seam short. Ample rest breaks made the trip less stress full and in hurried. Having a driver gave me the opportunity to actually see the sites instead of concentrating on the road or traffic. We had a delightful time.

This tour is the absolute best tour I have ever been on. It is worth every penny. I love that it takes the stress out of everything meaning picking me up and dropped off at my hotel vs renting a car. The tour guide was the best, very informative and you can absolutely tell he loves what he does. This trip is all day don't plan nothing until night time. Its about 4 hours to get to the Grand Canyon and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Along the way we made pitstops to use restrooms and get snacks. After arriving to the Grand Canyon it was about an hour and a half then we had lunch went to oak creek and made more pitstops along the way before heading to Sedona and it was so beautiful. Overall experience 10/10 would highly recommended.

Great day spent with Frank on the tour!
My husband Don surprised my girlfriends and I with this excursion. It was the perfect amount of time for the sights we saw. Our guide Frank Salle, is a very interesting person to spend the day with. He uses his knowledge and passion for Arizona to ensure you have a terrific experience. I have been to AZ many times, and learned a lot of things I never knew before. He pointed out the old stage coach trail that I passed many times never knowing about its history. Talked about all the dessert plants, and the history of all the places we visited. He even showed us how to take great panoramic photos with our phones. He definitely enjoys what he is doing and didn’t rush the stops at all. I would definitely ask for him on our next adventure! - Denise P

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 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.

Our guide did an outstanding job throughout the entire tour. He was extremely informative and shared so much interesting history about each location we visited. We stopped at several unique and beautiful spots around the canyon that we probably never would have discovered on our own. At each stop, he explained the history of the area, what we were looking at geologically, and some of the stories connected to those viewpoints.
What really stood out was the guide’s energy and attitude. He was fun, positive, and clearly passionate about what he does. His enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable and kept everyone engaged throughout the day.
We also had time to browse for souvenirs and take in the scenery without feeling rushed. Standing at the edge of the canyon and taking in the massive scale and beauty of it all was absolutely breathtaking. Pictures simply can’t capture how incredible it feels to see it in person. 📸
Overall, it was an incredibly memorable experience. The guide’s knowledge, positive energy, and ability to keep the tour engaging made the day even better. My wife and I left with a much deeper appreciation for the beauty and history of the Grand Canyon National Park, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. It’s something we’ll never forget!

Excellent day trip
Sam was really good as a guide and driver. Very informative and friendly. The tour was in general very intereating and well organised, the van was comfortable. The pick up and drop off could have been better arranged from the company as it took an hour to pick up everyone and an hour to drop off, and for me at least I had to travel another 15 minutes by uber or 40 min by tram to get to the meeting point as opposed to others who were picked up from their hotel. I think it would have been better if we were all told to meet up at one place and then drive off from there, therefore not having to start off the tour too early for some and driving me around the whole of Phoenix, Scodsdale and Tempe. Other than that all was great.

A Wonderful Experience
This was a last minute booking and I am so glad I did. Our guide Leonardo made a long day enjoyable with his stories, knowledge and passion for the Sedona area and the Grand Canyon. It made for a memorable day and we would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to take it. Thank you Leonardo.
