We had such a great time on our tour. Brad, our guide (a fellow New Englander!), was incredibly informative and engaging. He made the ride fun and filled it with interesting details about the area. The views were amazing, and the whole experience was even better than we expected. Truly something everyone can enjoy. Book your tour - you won't regret it.

Wear warm clothes on 4 pm outing. THE DRIVER/guide was knowledgeable, friendly and outing. It was evident JV enjoyed what he was doing and loved the area.

Great Trip, Loved the echo!!

Fun - if you like lots of bumps and dust!

Roger_N, Mar 2026
Very bumpy and dusty. At times, we were all by ourselves - perfect to get away from the crowds in Sedona. At other moments, we were eating the dust of other jeep tours - at one point, there were 4 other jeeps and their guests at the same spot. So much for getting away… Driver David was capable and pleasant; the group was congenial, and scenery spectacular, especially as the sun was setting. It was difficult to hear the driver when the jeep was moving - possibly a second speaker might help? Overall, I would have been happier to stay on the dirt roads, rather than the rocky trails. Checked it off the bucket list- won’t do it again.

Great trip

Erick_F, Mar 2026
Very informative. Brad was amazing. Learned a ton and had a great time. Beautiful pictures and views.

Complete waste of time and money!

Renee_H, Mar 2026
This could not have been a worse experience. I would have given it a zero if that was an option. We didn’t see a single living creature in 3 hours, and the tour company seemed to think that bumping around a pitted, dusty gravel road in a large rattling jeep in 88 degree temperatures would be fun. What a complete waste of time and money. It would have been so enjoyable to learn about the natural habitat and original inhabitants; get close to the magnificent rock structures, caves, crevices and arches; and at least learn about the (mostly) nocturnal animals that we had virtually no chance of seeing on a hot afternoon in the middle of the desert with tons of other jeeps and 4-wheelers zipping around the area. Another complaint pertains to our guide. While he was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable enough, he’s only lived and worked in Sedona for 7 months. That’s not the extensive experience provided by other jeep tour companies (based on Viator descriptions). And, he engaged 1 member of our group with non-stop conversations that went on and on and on throughout our “adventure” that had nothing to do with our tour. It was not only incredibly boring for everyone else, but forced us to interrupt to ask questions about what we occasionally saw on our trip. And, finally, I am very frustrated with Viator’s cross-promotion of “other tours you might like” when original tours of interest have no availability. BUYER BEWARE of almost identical tour company names and locations when they have nothing in common!

Excellent Experience

Donna_T, Mar 2026
Super friendly staff. Chris was our tour guide and he was very informative and knowledgeable about the area. We had to rebook our first tour due to an accident, and the company was excellent in allowing us to rebook. Great company! We would definitely rebookvwith this company for another tour.

Excellent adventure with AZ Safari jeep tours

Carol_P, Mar 2026
We had the best time on this Jeep tour. The AZ Safari Jeep company does a fantastic job and our guide Brad made this Outlaw tour so fun, educational and something we will always remember. I highly recommend this Jeep tour company if your visiting Sedona.

Great tour

Judd_K, Mar 2026
Great experience in the outlaw trail! JC was a great driver/guide. Very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. This can be a bit of a rough ride in spots so definitely need to be prepared to rock and roll in the jeep.

Now that sounds like a Sedona adventure. Chris knows how to keep it interesting and make the stories stick. We’re glad you felt taken care of from start to finish. Being locally owned means we get to keep it personal, and we appreciate you noticing. Thanks for choosing Arizona Safari Jeep Tours and for the recommendation.

Girls Jeep tour in Sedona

Kim_K, Feb 2026
That the jeep tour was way too long. The first half we really don’t see anything except from a distance. The second half near echo Canyon I thought was the best part and we could’ve just gone up and down that road instead of the first hour, where it was just a rough and bumpy road.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience. The Outlaw Trail is designed to show a wide stretch of Western Sedona, so the first portion gives you those big panoramic views before heading into areas like Echo Canyon where you’re up close to the formations. We understand that some guests prefer more time in the tighter canyon sections, and we appreciate you pointing out what you enjoyed most. We’re glad you loved the Echo Canyon portion and hope we can match you with the perfect route next time.

The tour was excellent,...

Richard_G, Feb 2026

Jessica_S, Feb 2026
The outlaw tour was fantastic!! You get to see so much of Sedona. We went in February and did the later time. The views were stunning. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

February is a great time to be out there. Fewer crowds, big skies, and that late light hitting the rocks just right. We’re glad the Outlaw Trail gave you a chance to see so much of Sedona in one ride. Thanks for spending part of your trip with Arizona Safari Jeep Tours and for the strong recommendation.

Book this Trip!! Fantastic experience! If I could give it more stars I would. Cowboy Bob is a local and his knowledge was amazing. This company is local owned and operated. They take you places you would never see on your own.

Must do in Sedona

Melissa_H, Jan 2026
The 3 hr Outlaw TrailTour was a highlight of our trip to Sedona. Our guide, Vivian shared so much history and was kind enough to take multiple photos at each stop. We were so intrigued by her description of Honanki that we went back and hiked out there the next day. I had been worried 3 hrs was a too long, but it flew by! We would have happily stayed out there many more hours. Late afternoon was perfect for seeing the setting sun too. This is an experience not to be missed! Highly recommend!!
