This was an amazing trip. Tyler, our guide, was awesome!! The tour was very informative and the stops were perfect.

Excellent tour which covered great highlights of the Sedona. The tour bus dropped us off right at the entrance to every stop so it did not require a significant amount of walking. Very nice not to have to hunt for parking spaces and drive to each attraction. Our tour guide, Patrick, was fantastic. He really knew his way around Sedona and left us with lots of interesting tidbits of history and information about the sites that we saw. Bathroom stops were at about every other stop along the tour. The tour bus has open sides and a shaded canopy over top so we were never too hot and we had clear and unobstructed views from every seat on the busto take photos of the sites.

Very interesting tour with very knowledgeable guide. Learned a lot. A bit surprised with all the commercial activity and traffic in Sedona but guide expertly navigated it all.
Megan_H, Mar 2026
We had the best experience seeing Sedona! Our tour guide, Daniel, made this experience amazing! He was so knowledgeable and friendly. Absolute 5 star service!
Maryrose_R, Mar 2026
This tour is ideal if you want to experience the beauty of Sedona with out committing to a full day. We highly recommend Viator for booking tours and would happily do another one in the future
Donna_T, Mar 2026
Ray is a fabulous guide. Did a terrific job of narrating, sharing important information. Super friendly and professional.

Fun time , Danial was very kind and knowledgeable but didn’t really talk as much about the area as I would think, but we had a great time despite 90° temperatures, and they provide as much cold water as you could ever want, which was really nice
Teresa_B, Mar 2026
It’s a good way to get an overview of Sedona. Entertaining! Saves all the hassle of driving and parking & navigating the traffic
Wendy_Z, Mar 2026
The pick up spot is difficult to locate. There is no obvious sign and traffic is quite busy to be searching for a building number. The person calling me to inquire about where we were to pick up the shuttle was not very courteous on the telephone. Our guide, Avery was accommodating and picked us up in the lot behind the building. We enjoyed the tour and Avery is very knowledgeable.
RENE_M, Mar 2026
John was amazing. So knowledgeable and fun. Loved his commentary. And he was a great driver. Good recommendations for lunch.
Jennifer_K, Mar 2026
This was a great overview of Sedona. Definitely hit the highlights. Our tour guide was amazing! Would recommend to anyone.
Liz_C, Mar 2026
Great tour of Sedona. Super chill. We got to visit many interesting places in Sedona hopping in and off the open car. Bring a light jacket as the wind can make it cold. Our guide Kevin was super fun and full of knowledge of the surroundings. Highly recommend.
Juergen_F, Mar 2026
Good overall intro. Saw the main sights. Daniel loves Sedona and shares his enthusiasm. The bus is comfortable and the view are good from every sear
Sue_G, Feb 2026
We had a fabulous day on this tour, in an open-air van (which allowed great views, and ability to get pictures) with covered top, so riders are protected from sun. Our guide was Daniel, who was very knowledgable, easy-going, and helpful. He gave us a running commentary on the founding and history of Sedona, facts about rock formations, plant-life, and hiking trails. We made stops at Chapel of the Holy Cross, the airport (which has a spectacular vista), the Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park, and uptown Sedona where we had time for lunch. As Daniel drove through the area, we saw Bell Rock, Thunder Mountain, Cathedral Rock, Kachina Woman and more. Daniel had tons of facts about famous residents of Sedona, the Native American tribes in the area, Oak Creek Canyon, the extinct volcanoes in Flagstaff. It was 5+ hours that flew by because it was so enjoyable.
We highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide, Avery, was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about all of the area around Sedona. My husband and I enjoyed this tour very much!
Michael_P, Feb 2026
Ray was knowledgeable and added to the Tour. Enjoyed every part of the day. Saw a lot of items I wouldn’t have been able to see on our own.
Hemant_U, Feb 2026
The tour is good. Actually, it is nearly 4 hours only as they leave you in the uptown for lunch for more than an hour. The price of the tour is more than the value. However, it is convenient to go around Sedona and see the important places.
Condition of the vehic4can be better as the seat covers and upholstery is torn at a few places.
Sandra_P, Feb 2026
The speakers were not working so we could not hear the tour guide. It was so statically and would go in and out. Everyone complained and tour guide said she would try to fix it. It took a while and everyone continually telling her we could not hear her.
We did appreciate her knowledge when she would talk to us off the tour bus.
Linda_R, Feb 2026
We truly enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide Ray was knowledgeable and recommended a lot of additional places to visit. I highly recommend it.
Carol_N, Feb 2026
Weather didn’t do us any favors. Wish it had been warmer to be able to use regular uncovered vehicle. The views would have been far better Luck to of the draw this time of f year
However, Ray our driver made the best of it for us. Very knowledgeable, courteous and professional We certainly appreciated that Thanks. We’d go again
Chris_M, Feb 2026
It was freezing!!! Our guide was great and the stops were great but they need to put plastic windows up when it's cooler. The last half of the tour was miserable bc it was so cold. I would have liked to have more time at the chapel and less time at the Buddha stop. I would not recommend this trip if it's not summer and warm.
Ann_K, Feb 2026
Dress for the weather. We were fine with temps in the 40s. Rain overnight probably lessened dust. Scenery was fantastic and guide knowledgeable and well prepared.
Peggi_G, Feb 2026
This was easy to book, easy to find location, great amenities at the facility places to sit relax a bathroom all that were needed before you leave. We ended up having 11 on our tour which was very tight for enjoying for some as they had to sit 3 to a seat, it would be much better to only have 2 to a seat. We left about 10 minutes early and we were off to the 6 stops that were all really, the tour guide Tom was fantastic, he knows his stuff and was very entertaining. A couple of things i did not like was water was to be provided but not offered until i said i was thirsty near end of trip, it should have been offered ongoing. This was said to be a 5.5 hour tour, but actually it turned out to be about 3.5 as 1 hour was having lunch downtown and then we were back by 230. I think it should be clarified that this way instead of saying its 5.5 hours. A few people I heard say wow we could have gone to see more for the extra hour we didnt get. I am a travel agent from canada while I must say the good about it, the guide was fantastic, the eqiupment was good, and the tour was very interesting and worth while, the bad was too many people in van, we were only out 4.5 hours instead of 5.5 hours, no water offered to people. If the tour company can get these things aligned you are going to get alot more business and i will be watching reviews as I will send my clients to you expecting alot out of the tour. Thanks again

Our tour guide was great, but we thought the outfitter needed a little work. The buses were a bit outdated (ripped upholstery, dirty, etc.). Also this tour is not for elderly as there is a lot of uphill walking. Finally, I want to stress again that our guide was great, but the tour itself is pretty, well, meh. Check out the local trolleys in Sedona for a better experience.
Edith_T, Jan 2026
It was more than anything I ever imagined!!! Our tour guide Ray was amazing. He was very knowledgeable of the history of Sedona and the différents site we visited . I will definitely recommend you book a tour with him . I felt like a child in wonderland !!!
Bonnie_C, Jan 2026
Great sights, great tour guide. Your expectations of 100 characters is out of line for a introvert. Get real!
Penny_L, Jan 2026
Our guide, Avery, was great. He was friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was perfect - we were here for a quick trip and we saw way more than we could have if we tried doing it ourselves.
Steve_W, Jan 2026
The bus itself was a great tour. The guide was great and thorough and accommodated for all age groups. The one main concern though, is that the itineraries did not match from this website to their company. It was disappointing to have paid a large amount per ticket and not have gone to every stop listed on Viator website. It is important to know what you’re paying for fully, and if it’s worth the investment. Besides that, the tour was wonderful and a good experience. Would recommend booking through the actual company next time.
Jeenouse_S, Jan 2026
WARNING This company abandoned me in the middle of nowhere. I am a solo girl. They are doing something VERY sketchy. I arrived early to the meeting spot after lunch. One couple was to be seen and that is it - they said they had no clue where the driver is either . Do NOT book with this company. Please issue me a refund immediately or I will have you remover from Viator. This is unethical and very scary for a female driver. 0 stars!!!!!!! AVOID
Corinne_R, Jan 2026
It was my first time visiting Sedona. The tour was very comprehensive. Avery was an excellent guide providing great knowledge about Sedona. He answered all of our questions well. I highly recommend the tour.
