Great tour

Amy_D, Jan 2024

I loved visiting the sites, especially the pueblo ruins, while someone else did the driving. Our guide, Sheldon, was very informative about sites visited. He made sure we were comfortable in the van and supplied water. We tried Navajo food at lunch, but there were other options as well. We took the east entrance to the Grand Canyon, the road less traveled.

Great Day of Experiences

The ability to do several sites and learn more about the area as we traveled. From Navajo ruins to volcanic ash to the Canyon itself....it was enjoyable and amazing. Our driver, Ed was knowledgeable and congenial and helped the group to enjoy themselves throughout the day.

Beautiful locations but wreckless driver

Lesa_H, Jun 2023

A wonderful tour! I would highly recommend the tour but with a different van and driver. The van was too small with no leg room. It was very uncomfortable. The driver was driving wrecklessly. We recorded him driving over 85 MPH. He would hit bumps and people would literally bounce out of their seats. He was friendly and shared good knowledge but his driving was scary.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for touring with us to the beautiful locations on your tour. Additionally, we were happy that we were able to facilitate a tour that accommodated your dietary restrictions. We rarely get a complaint on the comfort of our vans, quite the opposite in fact. We have spoken with our guide and reminded him of our safety-first policy.

Incredible tour-you will not be disappointed!

Our Navajo guide, Brian, was so friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Sunset Crater Volcano was incredible, Wupatki ruins fascinating and of course, the Grand Canyon was breathtaking!

An Amazing experience

Great experience

Jason was a fabulous tour guide and we learned a lot about Sedona, Grand Canyon and Arizona in general as this was our first time visiting. Highly recommend this tour!!

Can't miss this tour!

Our guide, Sheldon, was excellent!! He was truly accommodating to our needs and we were able to see so many sites that we would have not known to go see had we been on our own. Due to COVID, we were unable to see the ruins, but the company made adjustments for this and it didn't diminish our trip in any way. Sheldon also gave us suggestions for where we could see other ruins in the Sedona area and again, he was spot on. This tour was a highlight of our whole trip.
