We took this tour yesterday with my husband, daughter & her best friend. We are from Orlando Fl & were so happy to have Cassidy as our driver. We found out he moved from winter park Florida 10 years ago. The ride up to the rim along Schneply Rd was so super bumpy but so much fun. The views of Sedona from Merry Go Round Rock were absolutely breathtaking. Awesome photo op spot. Cassidy then took us to the Airport Vista Overlook for more picture taking! Cassidy was a great tour guide & we would definitely book a Day in the West for future trips to Sedona
