Our guide was so knowledgeable because he has been in Sedona for 40+ years...so the wealth of his knowledge is well worth your time & money. Further, the personal tour really is personal as to how the various vortex show you what you need in addition to the animal & plant spirits & your own personal work. Further, as a "spiritual guide/practitioner/etc" there is no ego, no upselling for other tours/products, nor over stepping.
