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!
