Disappointing
David D,Jun 3, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00The driver was very outgoing and friendly, however, he spoke really fast, as if we were friends who had been to Sedona before, and knew what we were looking at. From the driver's seat, he would say things like: "Look over there, and you will see XYZ". Sitting further back in the van, we could not see what he was pointing to. He should add more descriptive details. "to the right, in the middle of the mountain, at the very top, you will see a small boulder that looks like Darth Vader" (We were all looking at the whole mountain and not "seeing" it). He was very amenable to questions, so we just kept asking them, and saying things like "we don't see it", or "Could you say that again" (So many questions, he probably thought we were dense!) Additionally, his first stop was at the Chapel, which was supposed to be the highlight of our tour. On the way up the mountain, he told us what to look for inside, etc. All very informative. When we arrived, it was in the middle of 3pm mass, so we were not permitted to enter the chapel. When we mentioned it to him upon return to the bus, he said something like: "Oh, that's right, there is mass every day at 3pm". No apologies, just a shrug and an "oh well". The tour could have been so much more. We were disappointed.

4.00Cindy was a wonderful tour guide. She had so much local knowledge to share, and did it in a fun and colorful way. She was also quick to pass out cold water, much appreciated in this hot weather.
Great

5.00We were very fortunate in that we were the only travelers on our tour, Greg was very informed about the history of Sedona and knew everything about points of interest. We truly got white glove service. Woo Hoo

5.00Great way to see Sedona especially for a first timer. Comfortable van ride with air conditioned comfort, cold water, interesting narrative, and just the right amount of time. (2.5 hours) Richard was very knowledgeable and happy to share it. My favorite stop was Chapel of the Cross. Highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful tour to begin our. Stay in Sedona

5.00Our guide was Anna, she was a delight, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made the whole experience memorable.
Cramped and not interesting

1.00First of all, if you have one person who is taller than 5'6", don't sign on this tour. Leg space is too small for the person. Secondly, by bad luck to our taste, our tour guide talked little about the history of Sedona and nothing about rock formation. What he talked about were history of local stores and restaurants, and his personal working experiences. If you are interested in those, go for it.
Do it!

5.00Anna was a fantastic tour guide. She was so knowledgeable and kept it lively. This is a good overview to help set the plan for your stay here. She has so many tips and was a wealth of information.
Don't know how any other tour could have topped this one!

5.00Our tour guide, Anna, was so knowledgeable about the area--its history, the geography, the botany, and culture. Her enthusiasm and love of the area was infectious and we came away with a better sense of what makes Sedona special. It wasn't just a tour where the guide points out sites--it was an education! Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Very much recommended!
