First of all let me say the staff is incredible here. From Dan (in the office) to Sergio (the driver/seat belt fastener) to our pilot Nate - man I hope I got all those names right! What an incredible way to see to Sedona. Quite an unforgettable experience bring your camera and don’t be afraid to ask questions. From the views, to the commentary from the pilot, to the friendly staff this was an unbelievable experience. Top notch customer service. A must do activity if you’re in Sedona.

We planned to be wed in Sedona on a Saturday and to spend a couple days there after it. In trying to decide on activities to do, places to eat, etc, we both agreed on wanting to tour the area by helicopter. We decided on a tour with GA based largely on the great reviews - and we're glad we did! Every single person we interacted with was fantastic - starting with the counter agent to the guy who took us by van out to the helicopter (feel bad for not remembering his name - great discussion - very friendly) to David our pilot. The views were phenomenal but the information David provided while pointing out a great many sights were just as fascinating. This is an absolute must-do activity for anyone visiting Sedona wanting to see areas impossible to see and enjoy by foot!

The 30-35 min helicopter flight over Sedona, the famous sights and the adjacent canyons left an overwhelming impression on us. The excellent pilot Robert and the other staff at Guidance Air were very friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. I was sitting in the front seat next to the pilot and was able to take excellent video shots with the GoPro camera, which we remember. But the most beautiful memory stays in the memory forever...Thank you! We can only recommend this sightseeing flight.
