We had an amazing experience exploring Soldiers Pass Trail, the Seven Sacred Pools, and Devil’s Kitchen! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and seeing these incredible spots up close made the adventure even more special. Donny was an outstanding tour guide in the red Jeep—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience fun and memorable. If you’re visiting Sedona, this tour is a must-do! Highly recommend!

We had Brad as our tour guide and had a great private Jeep tour of the 7 Sacred Pools - Soldier's Pass Trail. The ride is extremely bumpy as expected, but beautiful. Brad did a great job maneuvering over and around the terrain. There were several stops to observe the land and take pictures. Definitely recommend.

Chris was an amazing guide. This was a great adventure but way bumpier than we innocently thought! But we ended up enjoying every minute. Chris has a lot of knowledge.

Pretty sights, but didn’t love the tour

Meagan_A, Oct 2026
We knew going into the jeep tour it would be adventurous with some bumps, but one of my the people in my group was a little nervous, and didn’t appreciate the tour guide making her feel uncomfortable about it. Instead of being reassuring, he heckled her and kinda revved the engine a bit. It made everything pretty awkward. The sights were pretty, and the info was cool. We got pretty photos. But if you’re in any way a little nervous about the bumps or steep edges, I wouldn’t expect the guide to make you feel more relaxed about it.

Best Day.

Jeanne_B, Oct 2026
It is so amazing. We had such a great time and learned so much! Wyatt was our guide. Loved him. So knowledgeable. We will do it again.

Jane_N, Sep 2026
A truly great experience. Went out with The Professor and learned a bit of geology, biology, botany, and history all while getting bounced around in a jeep. Lots of fun. Would highly recommend.

BEST JEEP tour for first time adventurers

Shelby_W, Aug 2026
THIS IS THE BEST JEEP TOUR BY FAR!!! Maverick was so personable and knowledgeable about the history, terrain, geology,ect. Make sure your phone is fully charges as there is so much to take pictures of!!! THE BEST JEEP TOUR TO TAKE FOR FIRST TIMERS!!!

Scott is a great guide

Jason_M, Jun 2026
We took a two hour ride into the mountains with Scott. He pointed out all the sights and was friendly and engaging throughout. He asked what kind of tour we wanted and chose the route for us. It was a great experience.

Terrible experience

Pamela_R, Jun 2026
I don’t like to complain but solid to road closures our tour was changed, which was understandable. We were not notified or asked if we were ok with the change. The new route was absolutely a joke and a complete waste of money. This company is still booking for these tours that they know cannot be taken. Our guide was very nice but the tour was horrible!

Adventurous, smooth ride

Leslie_C, Jun 2026
Lee was an excellent guide. Very informative on the history of the terrain. She was well versed on the plant and animal life as well. She definitely was a smooth operator with yet an adventurous ride.

Robert_R, Apr 2026
It is awesome. Chris did a fabulous job as a tour guide. He was extremely informative and is a skillful driver. We will try to tour with them again on our next visit to Sedona.

Sacred pools and devils kitchen. Wow!!

dayna_e, Apr 2026
One of my best experiences. Chris was a great guide and was at peace with what he was doing. His jeep driving skills over quite steep and rocky ground was amazing. He brought a divining rod and let us experience the electrical vortex of the region at the sacred pools. His flute playing was a highlight of peacefulness. Recommend this trip and ask for chris!!!

Sanjaykumar_H, Mar 2026
It is great ride. Not harsh ride like diamond gulch and our tour guide chris played flute for us and took really cool panoramic picture where we can see our family on both ends of picture and whole range of mountains covered. Guide makes difference.

Emily_S, Feb 2026
If you get the privilege to have little Deb as your driver, you will not be dissapointed! She took so many great photos of my partner and I, gave us a great history lesson and took us in some fun rugged trails. We left with our cheeks hurting from smiling so big!

Great trip!

Sharon_S, Feb 2026
