Half day Sedona tour

Diane_H, Jun 2026
Danny was our awesome guide. He kept us entertained, gave us such good knowledge regarding Sedona and the founding fathers. Plus a geology lesson. I wish I could go again today! I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Danny for a wonderful day!!!

Texas Utah Sedona Trip

Karla_M, Jun 2026
Good experience and Tidon is knowledgeable. He was great until the last 5 minutes. He was dropping us off at a different place than where our car was. We told him where we were and he said can’t you walk 2 minutes. We then ask about ice cream and gave us a suggestion. We ask where it was and he said you can Google it. He was running behind and had to stop for gas as well. Our trip was for 5 1/2 and we didn’t even get 5 hours.

Excellent Tour

Great tour!

Kasie_E, Jun 2026
Great tour, Ryan was our tour guy and very knowledgeable. He was also very accommodating. He went beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of and hydrated! One thing though if you are doing the 5 hour tour you can’t park where you check in. There is a church lot across the street. This caused quite a lot of confusion for people when we got there. This should be mentioned in the description for parking when booking.

False Advertising by Viator-But Good Tour

JLC, Jun 2026
Tom was a good guide and it was a nice tour. However. the itinerary had THREE items that we did not do. Tom explained that their company has told Viator to change this to no avail, but that's not my problem as a consumer. Either stop working with Viator, or fix it! False advertising is against the law and Viator is actually responsible, because it is on their website. Other than that, we enjoyed the tour!

Great Choice

Ureka_S, Jun 2026
We were heading to the Grand Canyon, but did a google search and saw 1/2 day sightseeing tour. It was a really good choice. Tyler our tour guide was knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable.

Give Lisa a raise!! She was amazing!!

Manuel_R, Jun 2026
Lisa was absolutely amazing! Her knowledge of Sedona was impressive, and the personal stories she shared made the experience even more special. You could tell how much she genuinely loves the area, and that passion made the tour so much more enjoyable. Every stop was breathtaking, and I couldn't believe how beautiful the places she showed us were. The tour was perfectly paced, with plenty of opportunities for photos, time to eat, and chances to explore. Lisa made the day fun, interesting, and unforgettable. We are so grateful she spent the day showing us around and opening our eyes to everything that makes Sedona such an incredible place. I would recommend this tour—and especially Lisa—to anyone visiting Sedona!

Stephen_B, May 2026
It is not acceptable for individuals of all abilities as some advertisements state. That being said, the views were beautiful and impressive. The driver was very considerate and helpful considering my disability.

Don’t miss this tour!

Tyler was a fabulous guide. This tour really gave us a good overview of Sedona, plus took us to all the hot spots!

Sedona is breathtaking. A MUST see!

Leona_S, May 2026
The tour was great and our tour guide Stu was awesome. I do have to say the vehicle we were in was is rough shape. The seats needed to be reupholstered. BUT:that did not interfere with this amazing tour! Thanks Stu!!

If u want a overview and want to save yourself then driving around it’s ok . You can easily pick 3 main attractions and go there yourself. .

Fantastic tour of Sedona....

Stacey_F, May 2026
Fantastic tour of Sedona. Stu is a great guide and provided a top-notch experience. Lots of Sedona history and fun facts (I won’t hold the dad jokes against him). Would definitely recommend this tour! Thanks Stu!

Mom and i had a great time - loved this tour as i was able to see some of the sights and not have to drive

Not an accurate description of the Tour:

Renee_M, May 2026
We signed up for this tour through Viator. Which evidently needs to be updated. Unfortunately. this tour company no longer offers the 1/2 day Sedona tour. They only offer the best of Sedona tour. And several of the stops listed on Viator for Best of Sedona are no longer on the tour…we didn’t know this until we were on the tour vehicle. We signed in and the last of the vehicles was leaving and our name hadn’t been called. We asked and the driver put us with his group.. good thing we were paying attention. But we were not going where we expected and we went to places we did not expect. The best of Sedona tour is great.. and we had a great tour guide. But the overall experience was upsetting and disappointing. We wanted the tour we signed up for. There were things we hoped to see and things we had no interest in seeing. Viator needs to update the details for accuracy. Advice: check the tours website to confirm that the tour you sign up for is the tour you want.

Shelia_W, May 2026
The tour was very interesting & the scenery was beautiful. Our guide, John, was knowledgeable on the area & answered the questions that were asked. Would recommend it.

Amazing tour of Sedona

Arthur_C, May 2026
Fun tour of the best sights in Sedona. Our small group of 10 was perfect, and Stu, our guide, was outstanding. He was fun, friendly and super knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful Week in May

Estella_W, May 2026
Kevin was an outstanding guide. He shared so much history about Sedona and about each areas visited on the tour. This tour provides a wonderful opportunity to learn about the area and expose you to an overall view of highlights that you may want to visit on your own. If you want to visit to rejuvenate your life or get a refresher, come to Sedona - this absolutely beautiful place awaits your visit.

Perfect!

Helene_B, May 2026
The scenery was so amazing it was hard to take it all in! Yondon - our guide- was far beyond 5 star. He was informative, engaged and obviously in love with the beauty, history and magic of Sedona. Many thanks for a wonderful day! By far our favorite experience on a Viator excursion!

My wife and I had a very fabulous time with today’s Scenic Tour. Our tour guide Stu was a very knowledgable and well spoken tour guide that made our journey enjoyable and memorable of every sight we stopped at.

Doreen_D, May 2026
As if Sedona wasn’t visually beautiful from the moment you arrive here. Taking the Sedona sight seeing tour enhanced the experience tenfold. Our tour guide Daniel was so friendly and easygoing it made us feel like we were with one of our friends. He even recommended places to eat after our tour. It certainly is a great way to see Sedona. Don’t miss it!!
