5.00First of all our guide HAN was absolutely amazing! His knowledge and insight was a history lesson and he was a great history, lesson and experience! I traveled alone on this excursion, but quickly make friends and felt right at home with Han and the other guest. I highly recommend this tour and experience. I was picked up from my hotel and returned at the end of the tour. Very convenient and much easier than renting a car for the day.
Our day trip from Phoenix to Sedona was wonderful. Hans was one of the best tour guides we have ever had !

5.00Can't say enough about the wonderful experience using Detour America West! From the moment the six of us boarded the Sprinter Van through our drop-off at the hotels that evening went seamlessly. The trip to Sedona from Scottsdale was unforgettable. The comfort of the van and our driver/guide, Mark H's entertaining commentary made all the stunning scenery and history come to life. He easily managed visits to all the planned landmarks as well as our impromptu breakfast break and add-on visit to a winery. We will always use Detour America West when our friends and family visit Scottsdale.
Fun Trip!

5.00Depending on where you are coming from, it is a lot cooler in Sedona, so check the wind and temp before you leave. Other than that, our tour guide, Jordan, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. I could have spent a little more time checking out the village in Sedona, but the places Jordan showed us instead of more shopping time were very beautiful. The majority of our group wanted to see more of the red rocks, so we were completely okay with that. When you look at the length of the tour, it seems like a lot of driving, and it is, but the way the tour is split up, you are getting in and out of the tour van pretty frequently so it splits up the driving time very nicely. Overall, I would really recommend this trip if you want to see the sights in Sedona, and get a feel for the culture as well.
