1.00This tour is overpriced for what is covered. I was also told they would pick me up at the hotel when I signed up calling viator customer service. I had to pay taxi to get to another location.

5.00If you want to experience Sedona for a day, this is the way to do it! Detours made everything so easy. Communication leading up to the tour was excellent. The price is very reasonable for what you get. My tour guide, Vince, was very knowledgeable and taught me a lot about Sedona and the history of Arizona as a whole. There were other solo travelers on my trip too which was nice. Everything was stress free (I wouldn’t want to try to find parking in Sedona) and we got to hit up a ton of great spots. Detours is 100% the way to go if you want to see Sedona!
Perfectly comfortable, fun, interesting and so beautiful!

We saw all the amazing highlights, took magnificent photos and enjoyed the must-see and hidden gems of stunning Sedona. Having Mike as my tour guide was perfect! I hope to tour again with Mike and see more of the Southwest!
