Our tour guide, Mark, had...

Marlene_K, May 2024

Our tour guide, Mark, had a great wealth of knowledge about Sedona. It's history, the landscape, the places to tour. We really enjoyed our experience. Mark was very personable. The vehicle was nice and comfortable.

Private tour is private!

Josiane_B, Apr 2024

It was a pleasure to be around and discover Sedona with Sheldon, who is an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable on the region. Also, I expected to have other people with us but the tour was just for the two of us! Hence, we did have some freedom to do what we wanted most!

Great!

Janet_C, Oct 2023

Sheldon was a great tour guide! He was very accommodating & knowledgeable. He made sure we hit all the hot spots. He dropped us off at spots he couldn’t park at & rode around & picked us up when we were done. Thank you Sheldon! A great experience in Sedona!

The best of Sedona

Linda_L, Jul 2023

The information that our driver shared with us. We were shown beautiful areas that we would have never found on our own.

Save your money.

Michael_K, Apr 2023

Enjoyed the tour guide, the tour itself was very skimpy. Two stops and a very narrow radius. So much more to see than what was displayed here. Not worth the time or money.

Wow!

Bobbie_P, Jan 2023

Great time with Sherm-thanks!l He is very knowledgeable about the area and the history and also thoughtful about his clients!!

Fulfilled and exceeded my requirements/expectations.

ShaoTing_W, Sep 2022

I really enjoyed the tour and the sites offered and visited were fulfilled. I felt I was given enough time at the sites. The driver/guide J.R. was full of knowledge and information and he went beyond expectation and service to take me to see/visit other vortex sites, which really was the "cherry on the top" moment to my Sedona trip.

Avoid this one like the plague!

Hector_S, Jul 2022

Gee, where to begin? This tour was such a waste of time and money, period! We spent most of the time picking up and dropping off guests than the actual tour alone! In addition, we spent a lot of our valuable time stuck in traffic, so by the time we get to see the attractions, the driver/tour guide gave us only a few minutes, which were not even enough to take good pictures! The bus was also very hot and the driver/guide very grouch and so difficult to understand! It seems that he slurred his words and that he didn't wanted to be there. Anyway, save your money on this one if you have your own car. Believe me, you'll be able see (and enjoy) a lot more of Sedona on your own without a single penny to spend--other than on gas, of course!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

We are proud of our tours and our team and regret when guests don't have the best experience. With that said, avoid like the plague is a substantial warning. One would wonder why such a headline would be delayed 4 months. Let's address some of your issues: We are one of the few companies offering this tour that offer door to door service. Guests are not required to drive, deal with parking etc. to enjoy our tour. A feature we provided to you. We offer a private tour for guests wanting/needing this tour without the elements of a group tour. The tour is conducted under the duration of the tour. The guide is describing and narrating even while pickup, drop offs, and traffic stops are occurring. The traffic was exceptional as spring break is the busiest week of the year. We are fortunate that so many wonderful people come to experience the area at this time. You selected to come at this time along with these many other guests to our fair city. If you had been in your own vehicle, you would still have dealing with the traffic issue or in fact being a part of it. We continually receive great ratings on our tours (please see review directly below this one). We stand behind our guide and our tours but your commentary has been duly noted.

Sedona Virgin

Brenda_W, May 2022

Driver was great! Van was clean. Sights were beyond words! Our favorite was the church built into the mountain.

Don’t waste your time and money

Karen_O, Dec 2021

This trip was a waste of time. It was too long and felt like an aimless drive around Sedona. The only 2 places of interest we stopped (and the 2 main reasons I booked) were Chapel of the Holy Cross and Airport Mesa overlook. We were only at each for approximately 15-20 mins. So, out of a 2.5 hour drive only :30-:45 minutes were quality.

Sedona AZ Small Group Tour

Joseph_P, Nov 2021

What started out with a minor scheduling bump became such a wonderful day. Jo Gebo was a fabulous tour guide and we highly recommend him. We thank you very much for a great experience in Sedona.

Amazing views with personal details

Jennifer_M, Sep 2021

It was all great but the Holy Chapel Cross and the Airport Overlook were amazing. Our tour guide Al was awesome too!

Sedona Area Tour

Mike_J, Sep 2021

Very enjoyable excursion. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Van was clean and comfortable. Would recommend this tour as an introduction to Sedona with a follow up afterwards to specific places of interest.

Stunning Sedona!

Cathy_H, Sep 2021

This tour conveniently picked us up right at our hotel. The beauty of Sedona was enhanced by the information provided by our driver.

Fantastic

Mary_L, Jul 2021

Joe was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable as well as funny. He made sure everyone was comfortable and answered all our questions. Great guy!

Wonderful!

Keith_R, Jun 2021

We had an amazing time learning about the history and area of Sedona. Joe was very knowledgeable and made us feel at home during our tour! Thanks for a great day!

Al made this tour amazing

KFS18, May 2021

So let me begin by saying that this tour is great if you’re looking for two beautiful photographic stops and a nice scenic tour. This is not a hiking tour of Sedona but rather an informative scenic trip of Sedona. I personally loved my experience. Al my tour guide was absolutely hilarious. He was also very informative and told the information in a manner that made it easy to retain and wasn’t dry in the sense it would lull you to sleep! I highly recommend this tour but I can only recommend it if Al is your guide!

Sedona Tourist Overview

Abilene, May 2021

This tour was informative. Our guide, Al was very knowledgeable. He gave historical, cultural, and geographical information. He not only gave his prepared speech, but he also answered questions that may or may not have been part of the plan. Al answered one question with a general answer & would not be pinned to giving an exact percentage of which he was unsure. How wonderful to have a genuine guide instead of a know it all! Also was also good at throwing in a bit of humor that added to his talk. Our vehicle was clean and comfortable.

SEDONA DONE RIGHT

Greg_S, May 2021

Our guide Al was very knowledgeable as well as funny. Took us places I never would have found on my own. Highly reccommend.

It was FUN!

Loretta_L, Apr 2021

Our tour guide was very kind, knowledgeable and extremely funny during our trip to Sedona! I enjoyed my trip with this specific tour guide!

Great experience

Tatiana_V, Mar 2021

This tour was my first introduction to Sedona. I was picked up at the hotel right on time. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Small group atmosphere made it more private and personal, it was a great experience for me to see the beauty of Sedona.

Somewhat disappointed

Randall_P, Feb 2021

The guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the history of Sedona however did not take us to the areas listed in the ad. The stops we stopped at were Holy Cross Church and Airport Loop Dr. The other two areas were Coffee Pot and Tlaquepaque Arts Village. These he did not even mention and we drive right the Art Village.

Response from Host, Feb 2021

Thank you for complimenting our guide. This tour is an informative tour and an introduction to Sedona.

Great Tour Guide

Ken_H, Jan 2021

Lil Joe our guide was amazing. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area and was great to hang out with. I highly recommend this tour.

Well Worth It!!

Ken_H, Jan 2021

The information and sights on the tour were amazing. Our guide Joe was incredibly warm, friendly, and super knowledgeable. He was great! Great way to see a lot in a little time.

Informative short tour

Lisa_A, Dec 2020

We enjoyed our tour of Sedona. We traveled to Sedona for a few short hours and was able to take this tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared stories of Sedona the entire tour. They provided water and took special precautions during this time. If you would like to learn about the Sedona area, this would be a great tour for the day.

Wonderful Sedona Tour

Jackie, Nov 2020

Lil Joe was very professional, he was very knowledgeable about Sedona. He has a great personality and very pleasant, we had a great time.

Beautiful and Informative Tour

Leetha_R, Jun 2020

We booked the 2:30 pm tour and initially thought it would be too short to see everything. We were wrong! The pace was great and our tour guide Lil Joe was exceptional. Since our group of three were the only passengers, we were able to have a private tour but at the lower group rate. Lil Joe was very informative, engaging and extremely courteous. He arrived at our hotel a few minutes early allowing for an on-time start. He frequently offered us water and was extremely attentive by always assisting us in and out of the van. He had a very thorough knowledge of the area and his love for the job was very evident. His delivery was clear and he was very responsive to all of our questions along the way. His jokes were pretty funny too. I strongly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning about the area and seeing the sites.
