5.00The tour was great and our guide Mark Lane was very friendly and informative. He is an asset to your company. I thought it was a little bit unfair that we couldn’t t get picked up near downtown phoenix as we had to pay $40 in uber faires that made the tour a bit more expensive and I would have rather given that money to Mark. Sedona is an amazing place. Scenery is amazing
Unfortunate Outcome

1.00It was canceled at the last minute by the company. Others had canceled their plans/tour, so they canceled the whole thing. They needed a full bus (or small van) of people and that didn't happen. I would try again if I return to the area.

4.00This was our first visit to the state of AZ, so we don't know what we don't know. However, the trip allowed us to see the best of Sedona - several stops with time to [mostly] take in all we wanted to see. The tour guide was friendly, the bus was comfortable, and I learned new things. We didn't experience anything negative on the trip. We rated the tour 4 out of 5 stars due to the time management. We were in the group of people who were the first to be picked up and the last to be dropped off (which made for a long day). We also didn't book an excursion within Sedona. These two factors left us with lots of time on the bus. We would have liked more time with the downtown shops as each was unique and took time to fully appreciate. All in all, we appreciated the experiences and not having to drive ourselves to these destinations as the tour bus allowed ups VIP drop offs and pick ups. Thanks for a great day.

5.00On the ride to Sedona there are several stops, we saw a lot of the recommended items in one day, couple hours for lunch and shopping, slower pace during that time
