Our guide was one of the best we ever had & we have had many. He exceeded our expectations with his knowledge of Arizona & Native American History. He was both welcoming & informative.

We had an amazing experience with Benny, who led us on a private, personalized tour of Sedona’s sacred sites. This was our second visit to Sedona, with our last trip about thirty years ago. The area has changed a lot, but Benny’s knowledge and heritage made our journey even more special and helped us better understand the indigenous people. He led a medicine wheel ceremony and gave us lots of time to reflect and take everything in. I highly recommend Benny.

Terrific activity

Stephen_B, May 2025

Benny is terrific! Very spiritually grounded, strong Native American knowledge, and also strong background in history and archaeology. Ask him about seeing pictographs. Strongly recommend this activity.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for the positive commentary on your private tour . I look forward to our next adventure. ! Benny

Lovely experience. Benny...

Bianca_B, Dec 2024

Lovely experience. Benny is so engaging and knowledgeable! Sedona is fantastic to explore, and Benny shared many special places in the limited time that we had.

Beautiful places but somewhat disappointing guide.

Christine_C, Oct 2024

Somewhat disappointing. Our guide, while very knowledgeable, seemed distracted at times and seemed to lack energy by the end of the trip. Lunch was included and he initially said we would stop for a picnic but when we asked about lunch towards the end of the tour, he said he didn't know it was included. He also spent a lot of the time name dropping about people he toured in the past and how great they thought he was, which became tedious. The places we went were amazing and that was what we focused on.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

I’m sorry for my lack of focus and your disappointment, I had a picnic lunch to serve I misunderstood your intention to have the picnic as part of your tour. My sincere apologies.

Sedona Sightseeing at it's best!

Kathleen_B, Sep 2024

We were fortunate enough to have a private tour with Benny. It was amazing visiting the beautiful sites of Sedona. Benny was extremely knowledgeable and took us to places that we would have never seen on our own. Each stop was a new experience and he interjected many facts and native beliefs of this spiritual land. We would highley recommend touring with him!

Best Experience

Maria_K, Sep 2024

Ben was an amazing guide. I was looking for peace & he helped me find it. I will definitely do this again with him when I’m back in AZ.

Amazing experience!

Mary_S, Aug 2024

Benny was amazing!!! So knowledgeable and personable with a wealth of experience. This tour far exceeded our expectations. What a wonderful experience - will treasure the memories!

Experience of a lifetime

Lisa_L, Jan 2023

Memorable and healing experience for our family. Benny was the perfect person to guide us. There isn’t anything that Benny doesn’t know. Have a question about history? Geology? Spirituality? Just ask Benny. He will know the answer.
