    Chris was a friendly and highly knowledgeable guide! My family enjoyed learning the history of Sedona, as well as, other fun facts about the area. The tour had the perfect amount off-roading for our liking and 2 hours is the perfect amount of time. We also appreciated Chris offering to take family photos and provide us with water. We would highly recommend this tour to others!

    Great overview of the history of Sedona, its plant life and rock formations, with a scenic tour. Great way to get the lay of the land before planning future hikes.

    Informative and beautiful scenery.

    MARK_G, Mar 2026
    We went on the 11:00 a.m. tour. It seemed to be the perfect time. Warm but not exceedingly hot. Less traffic in uptown at that time of day. It was very relaxing.

    Top Notch Tour

    Great mild off roading experience to see the red rocks in Sedona along with a knowledgeable guide. Good parking.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    We’re glad you enjoyed the Red Rocks Outback Tour and those classic Sedona views. It’s a great way to get a little off-road while still soaking in the scenery with a knowledgeable guide leading the way. We appreciate you choosing Arizona Safari Jeep Tours and spending part of your trip with us.

    Outbacking with John

    newbytj, Jan 2026
    I went out today with John on an outback tour and it was an awesome experience. John did an excellent job of pointing out landmarks (snoopy, chimney and coffee pot rock) in addition to trailheads and canyons. John has been a tour guide for several years (hiking and jeeps) and also provided trail recommendations for all. Lastly, he shared some good local spots for cocktails and dinner. I would highly recommend the tour and John as your guide.

    First trip to Sedona? Looking for something to do?

    John_C, Jan 2026
    This was a great tour! Well worth the money. Two hour trip was a good amount of time for a first tour. The Jeeps are very nice and roomy. They did have heat in the back and they offered blankets which was a nice touch as it was a little chilly still on the main roads. Chris was a fantastic tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and you can tell how much he loves the area. I wouldn’t hesitate to request him. You won’t be disappointed!

    Lots of information on the Western side of Sedona

    Doreen_P, Nov 2025
    Lots of info on west Sedona. Would like to have known in advance it was only west side. Our guide was very good lots of good Information. Perhaps cut it back a bit. Talked a lot and would have liked a bit more time to look in awe would have been appreciated. Make the18% gratuity more visible on website. $132 gratuity for 6 people. Would have liked to know in advance I obviously missed it on website. Still an enjoyable 2 hours.

    John_P, Nov 2025
    Trip was awesome. Views fantastic. What I did not like was that the front plastic window shield was smudged and dirty and obstructed front views. You could only view to the sides from the Jeep

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and the beautiful Sedona views. We’re sorry to hear about the windshield issue and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Your comments help us improve, and we’ll make sure this is addressed with our team.

    Not what we expected

    Isabelle_D, Nov 2025
    We arrived 10 min before our tour was scheduled to begin. We waited 30 minutes for our guide to arrive. We kept asking the two ladies in the office about the delay and all they kept saying was, "your tour is about to start any minute". No apology, no updates, or explanation for us being there 30 minutes past our scheduled time. They could use a little more customer service training. Once the guy giving us the tour arrived, it was another 10 min to get everyone loaded hear his introduction which included "I'm always running late". On the way back he drove crazy fast surely because he realized he had another group of people waiting. We arrived back one hour later than we should have because of course we started late, and there was another group of people there looking hot and upset because of course they were waiting on our guide to go on their tour. They had several parked empty tour jeeps but only the one guide. Nice guy, great views but not what we expected. The jeep stays on the roads and dirt paths and it doesn't go outside those roads. we would not book again with this company.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry for the delay and the lack of communication before your tour began — that’s not the experience we want for our guests. We truly appreciate you pointing this out so we can address it with our team and improve our scheduling and guest updates. We’re glad to hear you still enjoyed the views, and we hope you’ll consider giving Arizona Safari Jeep Tours another chance in the future.

    Worth every penny

    Dawne_K, Oct 2025
    It was great! The meet up spot was easy to find and Joe was able to drop us at our hotel. We loved that it wasn't true off roading so that our bodies didn't feel bad. It was informative and just enough adventure to give us the feeling of being out in the desert in a jeep. Joe was an excellent guide and photographer.

    Great way to see surrounding Sedona area

    Michael_M, Oct 2025
    Nice way to go off road and see some beautiful scenery. Mild bumps and comfortable ride. Joe our guide was very nice and knowledgeable and took some great photos.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thanks for riding with us! We’re glad the experience felt both fun and comfortable, and that Joe helped make it a smooth and memorable tour. We appreciate you joining us at Arizona Safari Jeep Tours and hope you had some great moments to take home.

    Worth a try

    Tour operator is very accommodating and everyone is very friendly. Vivianne our tour guide was great. Very informative

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    We're happy to hear that Vivian and our team made your experience enjoyable and that you had a fantastic time on the Outback Tour. We hope to have you back on another adventure!

    Mild off-roading tour was awesome!

    Alison_K, Sep 2025
    Joe was our guide, and he was awesome! Punctual, provided cold water, and the "mild" off-roading was just the right amount for us. He took us on a main road to a forest service gravel road for the bulk of the tour. We got a great education from him as we went. Topics included everything from detailed information about the awe-inspiring red rocks themselves, the native peoples' history with the land, vortex energy sites (including us getting out for him to demonstrate a vortex site using copper rods - which was VERY cool and I don't think happens every tour), animals and plants (including him getting out, cutting open a jackfruit and allowing whoever wanted to to taste it). We had two stops for pictures and Joe took some awesome shots for each group. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour!

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Hey Alison, Thank you so much for your review. We're overjoyed that you had such a wonderful experience on the Outback Tour with Joe - his punctuality and the cold water he provided really shone through, and we're so grateful for your kind words. We will be glad to share your review with Joe. We hope to have you back for another amazing tour!

    Awesome Experience

    Patty_P, Sep 2025
    This is a smaller business locally owned not like the pink Jeep tours. We absolutely support small business as much as we possibly can and we find that it’s well worth it. JC was so informative and so much fun as a guide, answered any questions we had We loved the vortex. It was a mild off road so easy on your back

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    We appreciate your review and supporting small local businesses. JC does a great job in making each tour a fun and enjoyable experience for all guests. We will be sure to relay the feedback to JC. We hope to see you again soon!
