Cory was an excellent guide who provided us with telescopic views of the Sedona Red Rocks and the canyons. At each stop we were given enough time to explore and to take pictures. There was a little overlap from another Sedona tour we had done but Cory's humor and personality kept the information fresh and new. Our group of 4 enjoyed our tour and the included snacks/beverages were nice finishing touches. The hotel pick up was easy and efficient. I will definitely recommend Cory and the Half Day Sedona tour to my friends and clients.

A great tour! Cory provided our group of 4 with a great customized tour that included a bit of adventure, lots of amazing views, some time to explore, nutritious and fun snacks, great explanations, and all in a vehicle equipped with a sound system that allows all participants to clearly hear what is being said by the tour guide. Cory has so many interesting stories and facts to share and answered all our questions. The tour is worth taking, even if you have your own vehicle, it is well worth the money and will ensure you do get to see everything you want to experience.
