Everything about this tour was top notch! Not only did we see the gorgeous red rocks and amazing vistas, but our guide Andy was superb. His knowledge of the area, as well as flora and fauna, meant we got history, geography, geology, and archeological lessons as we went, along with some folklore and comedy thrown in. The van was very comfortable (we only had 7 people on our tour, but they cap it at 10) and unlimited water was provided. This was an amazing value for the price we paid and would rate it higher than 5 stars, if we could.

Hi There… Thank you for joining us for your tour to experience and be amidst the amazing red rocks and vistas here in Arizona. We’re so glad you thoroughly enjoyed the service provided by your Guide, Andy, and that he could share his expertise on his knowledge of the area, as well as flora and fauna, history, geography, geology, and archeological aspects of what you saw. We hope you’ll reach out to us again in the future, when you’re ready for your next adventure exploring the American west! We’d be happy to help.

After picking up all the passenger from three different hotels, our tour guide, Michael, brought the group together by having us all introduce ourselves and mention where each of us was from. He kept us informed how far we were from each destination and what to be aware of along the way, such as the changing vegetation as we were climbing and other points of interest. Our first stop was Montezuma Castle, followed by Montezuma Well, both national Monuments, and Michael brought these into light by his informed and interesting commentary. He also offered to take photos for those who wished that. Before our final destination of Sedona, we stopped briefly at the Holy Cross Cathedral and Mesa Airport. We had over two hours free time in Sedona for lunch, sightseeing or shopping. For those interested in a quiet nature place, Michael advised us of a path to a creek. We all learned a lot, saw a lot and had a lovely day out. I would highly recommend this trip for its diversity, breathtaking scenery, and a very interesting destination.

Hi Eva… Thank you for taking in a tour From Phoenix to Sedona, including many points along the way. We’re so glad Michael could provide you in the group with superior service, and help you see much more of Arizona. We hope to see you again another one of our tours departing from Phoenix or Las Vegas.

I enjoyed this tour - as a first timer to Phoenix, it was great to let someone else do the driving! Also as a single traveller, it was great to join a group. We had Tracy who was really nice and shared some interesting facts about all the places we stopped, including some information on Phoenix, Montezuma's Castle, Bell Rock, The Chapel of the Holy Cross, Sedona and Airport Mesa lookout. He was really accommodating and always tried to make us as comfortable and happy as possible. He took us to some great places for photos and pointed out lots of great views and features of the area. Sedona and surrounds is really beautiful and unlike anything I've ever seen! That being said, the town of Sedona is like a strip mall - really commercialised and food is expensive which is the norm for a tourist town. Still, appreciated the time off the bus, you could do a jeep tour, walk around or just relax if you're not into shopping! We had two hours in town which was nice, it didn't feel like you were on a bus the whole day. The one downside of the tour is the extremely long time before and after the actual tour to pick up/drop off people. I was (unluckily) first to be picked up at 6am and last to be dropped off at 7pm. Actual tour started at 8/8:30 and we got back to the city about 4:30? So that was more than 4 hours just driving around picking people up. In this day of Uber/Lyft and taxi services, I wish we could be given the option of meeting the group somewhere, or an option with a discount of no pickup - but understand this is challenging to organise logistically! In any case, the tour was still very good - water provided, very safe and comfortable - I'd be happy to recommend this to anyone from out of town!
