    We had a terrific trip up and down some of the rugged Sedona landscape, all narrated wonderfully by John. His passion and knowledge of all things Sedona made the trip particularly interesting. The trip was certainly bumpy but we had a great time.

    It was fun and thrilling trip. It also was very informative about the surrounding area. I would do it again.

    Beautiful, Educational Trip

    Thank you Doug for your review! It's great to hear that you had such a great time learning of history and vortex sites on the Diamondback Tour.

    Amazing view, great guide

    Leslie_F, Jul 2025
    Excellent tour, the jeep was comfortable, the views and experience were amazing and the tour guide topped off the experience. Ask for Doc!

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank You for joining us on your offroad adventure!

    Lots of Bumpy Fun

    Jason_K, Apr 2025
    We really enjoyed our jeep door with Doc. He was super knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a ton about the plants and animals in the area, along with the rock formations. The ride was bumpy as advertised (this particular diamondback gulch tour is the one you take to go through some of the more harrowing terrain, so choose wisely), but we stayed pretty comfortable throughout. Sit closer to the front of the jeep if you prefer less bouncing.

    Response from Host, Apr 2025

    Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! We’re happy you appreciated the unique landscapes and our beautiful Sedona red rocks! We’re looking forward to guiding you again on another exciting tour with Arizona Safari Jeep Tours.

    Diamondback gulch tour great- need to work on booking and advertising

    Brenda_L, Apr 2025
    The tour guide and driver JC was great. However the vehicle shown on Viator was not what I booked up for. I expect to sit forward not be in a 12 person jeep sitting inwards twisting my back all the time to see something. When asked about this I was told Viator puts the pictures up and they never had that vehicle!! But when I asked if they were owned by Viator they said it was just an advertisement service. It seems like the tour company does not manage the advertisement of their services effectively. They also did not like that I booked as solo traveller. When I first contacted them to say I could not book one person in, they said it was Viators rule that there needs to be a minimum of 2 people. So I booked 2 and changed to 1. They then got Viator to contact me to say if they cannot get another person they would have to change the booking. That seemed reasonable so why was this feature not setup for the single traveller. They did change it to later in the day, which was all good.

    A great 3 hour ride...

    Steve_W, Mar 2025
    A great 3 hour ride across very rough terrain and beautiful scenery. Lea was our guide and she was terrific. Knew how to drive the rough roads, very informative and made the ride fun !

    Great local jeep tour company. We had rain the night before so the guide needed to change our tour. We loved every minute of it! Highly recommend!

    Amazing! More than 5 stars!!

    A very fun tour! Thomas was very knowledgeable and he made the whole trip really exciting! He took some great photos for us! Highly recommend it!

    If you like a little adventure and history you'll love this tour!

    Cheryl_T, Jan 2025
    If you have time do this trip. CK, our guide, is so knowledgeable about all things Sedona! It's a very bumpy off roading experience. CK kept checking to make sure we were all ok. We had some elementary and middle school kids with us and they loved it. It was a great way to learn about the area and see some of nature. Highly recommend!

    Thrilling, exciting and enriching experience!

    Anand_P, Dec 2024
    Excellent tour, great off road track, well maintained vehicles. Out tour guide Jessie was very knowledgeable. He provided great wealth of information about the geology of the area, the flora fauna, and the Native American history. Highly recommended!

    Our guide and driver JC...

    Saima_Q, Dec 2024
    Our guide and driver JC was very informative. People with back and neck problems should not do this activity as it is off road. We all had an amazing time.

    Great last minute day!

    Amanda_M, Dec 2024
    We booked last minute when we realized we had a free day. Great choice! The guide was so knowledgeable about the area, the history, and people. He also gave us suggestions for restaurants where we could try rattlesnake and cactus.

    Exceptional Jeep Tour!!!

    MaryJo_H, Oct 2024
    This jeep tour exceeded our expectations and was our favorite adventure during our stay in Sedona. Our guide was JC (aka Indiana Jones), and he shared with us a remarkable amount of geographical, cultural, historical, spiritual, and environmental knowledge of the area. We couldn't have asked for a better communicator or educator. The activity is described as "extreme", but this was physically manageable for us, and we walked away "extremely" thrilled with our experience.

    A Must-See, Must-Do in Sedona

    Daniel_M, Jul 2024
    My wife and I spent a wonderful 3 hours with our guide/driver, Lea, amongst the Sedona Red Rocks. What splendor! (and this is coming from a couple that lived a few miles from Colorado's Garden of the Gods!) We really enjoyed seeing and learning all we did with Lea at the helm of our thankfully trusty Jeep as we wound wayyyyy up and wayyyyy down the hills and washes in the Red Rock country. Leave the restaurants and gift shops and take a trip to see what this area is really like!

    It Was a Great Time

    Cheryl_H, Jul 2024
    Wyatt was great. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining, and he took some great photos for us to help us remember our experience. I would highly recommend him and his tour.

    Jamming in the Jeep!!

    Mary_J, Jun 2024
    Doc was most knowledgeable about the area and key points to attend to. We had a blast. He took some time to show us the best of the best to see the sunset!

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    It sounds like you had an amazing time with Doc! Exploring the area with someone so knowledgeable must have been a real treat, especially with that stunning sunset as the cherry on top. Thanks for sharing your experience!

    Great trip with fantastic guide

    Our guide, JC was amazing. He is smart and very knowledgeable about the history of Sedona. My sister and I are 71 and 63, respectively, and JC made sure we were okay the entire time. The tour was so much fun even the 35 year old was glad she came. Great for all.

    Quite the adventure and very knowledgeable experience!

    Diane_M, Nov 2023
    Our tour guide was fantastic sharing much history of the area including the wildlife, ecology, and plant life. The ride was bumpy and fun at the same time! Definitely recommend this Jeep tour!

    Fun adventure

    Great guide, very knowledgeable and entertaining. Ride was rock and roll but we were adequately warned. Sites were fabulous.

    110% Customer Service

    BOB_M, Oct 2023
    OMG. It was just the three of us with Adam as our tour guide. We have been on many tours and we wished there was more "Adams"., He was so informative and knew so much about Sedona. He cared about his customers and made sure everyone was comfortable. Most of the time, especially on rough tours like this, guides would not even talk with the women, which I was the only one. He made me feel comfortable and from that, I trusted him and knew I would be safe with his driving...so I just relaxed and had the best time ever, even on the rough trails. Your company is very lucky to have him and he is a great asset.

    Awesome!

    Janet_B, Oct 2023
    It was very fun! Moose was GREAT! We enjoyed the thrill and are happy we took this trip. I recommend it!

    Fun tour

    Helen_D, Oct 2023
    Wow!!! We had scheduled the times for 2 tours - one with them, and another kayaking adventure - all wrong, and had sent a message less than 24 hours to see if they could adjust because of this conflict. They were gracious enough to suggest an alternate time, and after explaining the mix up they accommodated us for a sunset tour with Cowboy Bob. We truly had a great experience, saw a lot of the canyons, Bob explained the natural plants to us, we saw a few critters and took marvelous pics. When sunset came and it cooled down rapidly and the outfits for the 80+ temps at the start of the day were not adequate enough for the temps in the high 50s, we got a warm blanket and heaters to keep the jeep cozy and nice!! Thanks cowboy Bob and Arizona Safari Jeep tours!!
