    Amazing. A 'Must Do'

    Geoff_L, Feb 2026
    We had a fantastic tour we had with Chad. His natural curiosity, passion for life, learning, people, Sedona, and for sharing his wisdom and experience with his guests is inspiring and made the tour such a joy. We toured some very interesting locales with many a curious backstory and only wish we had done the tour early to set the scene for the rest of our Sedona Visit. Highly recommended.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you so much, Geoffry, as It was fantastic having you and Gosha on tour!💫 Your interest and adventurous spirits were most appreciated and I'm so happy you the tour enjoyable and inspiring 💫💫 And yes, one of the main ideas is that the more you know of the back ground story to Vortex of Sedona the more in touch with it you will be, and thus enhance the experience. I wish you both the very best in your journeys back in New York, future visits to Sedona, and other inspiring places of the world. May you both always soar!💫

    Superior tour with Chad and well worth it!!

    Melinda_L, Sep 2025
    This was amazing and worth every penny! Chad really knows his stuff including geology, Native American history, and Sedona history. He should be called THE Chad! V easy going and perfect tour guide!!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you so much Malinda, as I am honored by your words.🙂 It was fantastic having you and Laura on tour.💫 Your interest and adventurous spirits were most appreciated and I'm so happy you liked the Geology and history (both native and pioneer) that are part of the explanation of why Sedona is such a reknowned vortex location. 💫💫 The idea is that the more you know, the more in touch with it you will be, and thus enhance the experience. I wish you both the very best in your journeys back in Houston, future visits to Sedona, and other spiritual meccas and acclaimed vortex sites of the world. May you both always soar!💫

    Excellent Adventure

    Tamara_C, Jul 2023
    This was an amazing adventure. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and informative about Sedona. Excellent storyteller. We got to see places where there were no crowds and came away with so much knowledge and appreciation for the history of the entire area.

    Response from Host, Aug 2023

    Thank you so much Tammy. You make it for me as It was such a great pleasure having you and Betty as guests on Tour. I'm so glad it helped with you the appreciation of this wonderland of Sedona and now the stories and concepts continue with you both. So inspiring. Thank you and best wishes on your future Adventures and Explorations in Sedona and the areas you are from, Sante Fe and Idaho, and elsewhere. May you always soar💫💛

    Robin_H, Nov 2022
    Experience the beauty and peace of Sedona with this one of a kind personal tour. We learned a great deal and went to vortexes not seen by many non-locals.

    Response from Host, Nov 2022

    Thank you so much Robin as it was a great pleasure having you and Chris on Tour💫 Much appreciation and I wish you both the very best on your future adventures.🙂

    Sedona Area

    Beth_P, Oct 2022
    This was disappointing and not worth $400 I paid. The ticket said 9:00, Chad texted he would be at Sky Lodge at 10:00 am and he did not show up until almost 11:00 am. My granddaughter became very hungry and was very upset. The places he took us were good local areas in Sedona however, he was pulled over by the police for broken tail light which was very unnerving with the questions that the police asked.

    Our brilliant guide

    Mark_M, Sep 2022
    Chad is brilliant, interesting and passionate. Passion is catchy and Chad certainly kept our interest for over 4 hours.

    Response from Host, Sep 2022

    Thank you so much as I so love the seekers and adveturers. I'm a small sole proprietor company so thank you for taking the time to do the reasearch to find me. Kudos to you in helping to keep the history, science, and experience alive!

    Best tour guide experience!!!

    Ty_R, Sep 2022
    Chad is an incredible tour guide. He is full of knowledge on geology, history and spirituality. Highly recommend!

    Great guide and great tour! Five stars *****

    James_F, Sep 2022
    Our guides knowledge was very deep and extensive. He was able to customize our tour to take us exactly where we wanted to go. Would highly recommend!

    Response from Host, Sep 2022

    Thank you very much! It was a great pleasure meeting you, I appreciated your enthusiasm and spirit. Best wishes on your future adventures!

    Disappointing

    Stacy_A, Sep 2022
    Although the tour guide was nice, he was not very knowledgeable of where to find the petroglyphs or their story. Didn’t get to see some of the petroglyphs on website. Very disappointing for the cost.

    Response from Host, Nov 2022

    For those reading this review, please note it was not meant for my company, it was meant for another Sedona tour company. Stacy did that tour with the other company the day before mine and accidentally posted this review on my site and she let me know this. She actually sent me a text stating that her party really enjoyed the Vortex tour they took with me. For those reading this, I do not go to any petroglyph sites on my tour, so this review could not possibly have been for my tour. Here is what Stacy texted me on Sept. 5: "Hey Chad the wrong review went to on yours from us. I'm trying to get it fixed because your tour was amazing." Thanks Stacy for this text, I enjoyed touring with you, Ronald, Lisalynn, and Ilene. Best wishes to each of you on your future adventures!

    Great vortex tour, highly recommend.

    Susan_S, Sep 2022
    Chad shared so much information about the vortexes including possible causes for the energetic vortexes. We enjoyed his explanations and places we visited. Great tour. Highly recommend it.

    Response from Host, Sep 2022

    Thank you so much Susan! It was a great pleasure meeting you, I appreciated your enthusiasm and questions 💫 Best wishes on your future explorations!

    Highly recommended!

    Richard_F, Sep 2022
    Chad is not only an extremely knowledgeable tour guide, but he is a terrific guy who is very easy to relate to. Very down to earth, and very much in love with the earth. If you’re looking for something fancy, go elsewhere. If you’re looking for a clever, touristy comedy routine, go elsewhere. If you want to learn about the geology of the area and the story behind the vortexes, Chad is your guy!

    Response from Host, Sep 2022

    Thank you so much Richard! It was so great meeting you and I love this write up💫 Thank you for doing the investigsting to find me and I loved your interests, questions, and music! Best wishes on your future adventures!

    Incredible tour! So happy we booked with Chad!

    Jammie_F, Aug 2022
    Chad was informative, flexible and culturally responsive as he took us to sites that were incredibly beautiful, spiritual and fun. We would highly recommend Chad!

    Response from Host, Sep 2022

    Thank you so much Jammie, it was a great honor and pleasure meeting you and Mckenzie💫 I loved your enthusiasm for exploring and I wish you the best on your future adventures!

    Do This Tour!!! Best Day in Sedona

    Paula_W, May 2022
    Amazing Day! Chad spent the day exploring all the various aspects of the Sedona Vortex experience. He gave us fact, theory, history, geology, Native American lore, the Sedona backstory (before it became what it is today). He educated us with the four directions and the 11 factors surrounding the energetic properties of the areas. AND of course he took us to 5 Vortex sights, for us to be amazed by the beauty and to experience the pinnacle energetic activity first hand. We are well travelled and always take private tours, and Chad offered the best one ever (we are late 60 yr olds). After our experience with Chad, everything else has been blase’. Nice but no real punch like we had with Chad. He is a great guy, full of information, a day spent with him will turn you on to some really interesting facts and theory for you to take along and decide for yourself…

    Response from Host, May 2022

    Wow, thank you so much Paula. It makes my life to hear this. It was wonderful to spend the day with you and Ken. I was just thinking of Ken's comment about the ions...I will add it to my tour. As you know, I call myself the educatEOr....I have the cartoon figure EOR on my business card...because sometimess I'm the educatee and sometimes I'm the educator....I've learned something new on every tour I've given or taken. Much Appreciation. I also loved your note taking and how you wanted me to back up a few times to make sure you had gotten the concept. So impressive and appreciated! Thank you again and I wish you both the very best in your future adventures!

    Exceptional Tour

    Suzanne_K, May 2022
    We were going to Sedona for a few days and wanted to go on a tour that went beyond the typical tourist experience. Our online search brought us to Chad. His unique ability to bring together his extensive scientific and geological facts and theories about Vortexes, exceptional knowledge of the area and its history combined what the spiritual gave us just what we were looking for. The six hours passed in a flash. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you Chad for an experience we shall never forget.

    Response from Host, May 2022

    Thank you very much Susanne, it was so great being on tour with you and Kathy! You had such great questions and desire to experience the sites. I wish you the very best in your future adventures.

    A day full of stories.

    Amy_F, Apr 2022
    Chad was an excellent guide. Knows the area and locals well. Helps avoid crowds. Especially appreciated his insights into the local geology and indigenous people. Very friendly.

    Response from Host, Apr 2022

    Thank you ao much! It was a great pleasure meeting you and I so appreciated your desire to learn, connect, and have an adventure!

    Great guide and your!

    Tanya_G, Mar 2022
    Chad was a great guide and let us spend as much time as we wanted at each site. He was extremely knowledgeable and had great stories about the area and the history of the vortex sites. I would recommend this tour to anyone who really wants to spend time to go in depth and see some sites off the beaten path.

    Response from Host, Mar 2022

    Thank you so much Tanyna, It was fantastic meeting you and Shawn and Helena! You all had such an interest to explore and learn and experience. I was especially impressed with Helena since she was only sixteen. She stayed interested and engaged the whole tour! Thanks again and I wish you the best on your future journeys!

    Most amazing Vortex scientific & experiential tour ever

    JoAnn_B, Mar 2022
    All I can say is not to go to any other tour other than with Chad . He was amazing , informative , genuine , fun and the best your guide we ever experienced . We saw secret sites we could never have done on our own .

    Response from Host, Mar 2022

    Thank you soooo much Jo Ann and Mitchell! This means so much to me coming from people whom I have so much respect for in the way you both approach life. You were wonderful to be with for the day and you were so curious and had such great insights. I wish you the best on the many future adventures you two are sure to create :)

    The most unbelievably beautifully divine energetic contact. Chad is a cosmosan. The best tour guide ever! By light ye!

    Brian_K, Nov 2021
    Conversation and communication was tied 📴 with multiple synchronicities, telepathy, and down loads. We had a majestic contact with tachyon energies in the heart of two vortices. Chad Graf is the epitome of being a higher vibrational spiritual and vortex quantum guide!

    Response from Host, Nov 2021

    Thank you so much Brian, and coming from someone such as yourself, this means a lot to me. And yes, I agree, there was definitely an amazing and very synchronistic encounter between us. Your awakening story is an inspiring one and you have quite the radiance. It was awesome meeting Lisa too and I'm glad she helped you go deeper into the search for this tour. You two work great as a team. I look forward to our next encounter :)

    Great tour and information of Sedona!

    Deanna_R, Oct 2021
    Chad has tremendous knowledge of the history, geology and stories of Sedona. You will not be disappointed. He'll take you to places that are not on any tourist map with the most amazing views. This tour is money well spent.

    Response from Host, Oct 2021

    Thank you so much Deanna! It was great meeting you and Mike and I so appreciated all of your enthusiasm and adventurous spirits!
