My wife and I were led to believe from our hotel (SkyLodge at the airport) that this tour was "pretty gentle". Because I have some long-standing back issues, once the actual tour started, it was easy to tell that it was going to be much more than my back could tolerate. Luckily, my wife and I were to only two people on the tour. Our tour guide suggested we turn around and head out to see some canyons in west Sedona, which was a much better situation for my back. Our guide, Bo, was exceptional. He even gladly took posed pictures of my wife and I at one trip.
