Karolyn_R, Oct 2026
It was great to enjoy the beautiful scenery without the crowds. Be prepared for a rough ride in some parts, but with an experienced driver there was no problem. If taking the 3pm 3 hour tour you might need a light jacket by the end of the tour.

off road for great sunset views

kay_r, Jun 2026
It was fun going off road. We got to see deeper into Sedona than just hiking. The sunset was beautiful and we got to take great pictures. Highly recommended for the young at heart but not for folks with bad backs.

Perfect Welcome to Sedona!

Janet_Z, Jun 2026
Adam was our driver and guide. He gave us an informative and entertaining tour of the Sedona back country, along with an exciting jeep ride. It was our first day - just the introduction we needed!

Fun in the Sedona sun with Avery

What a fantastic excursion! Our guide Avery was phenomenal- so knowledgeable, professional and fun!!!! He made this trip terrific!! Highly recommend this excursion - be sure to ask for Avery!!!!

Sounds like Avery earned a few fans on that one.

Thanks for exploring Sedona with Arizona Safari Jeep Tours and for the recommendation.

Great trip!

Outstanding way to experience Sedona

This tour was not only fun but extremely interesting - it was so much fun to ride through some tough terrain in the tour Jeep. CK was outstanding as our tour guide for 3 hours. The views were phenomenal and we thoroughly enjoyed CK’s knowledge about the vegetations and terrain. Highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Three hours goes by pretty fast when you’re bouncing through the backcountry. The Rugged Western Canyons tour is a great way to see a side of Sedona most visitors never get to experience. Glad CK helped make it such a memorable adventure. Thanks for riding with Arizona Safari Jeep Tours.
