10 Tours in Sedona That You Shouldn't Miss

September 26, 2021 Darwin Bolte

Sedona is a true oasis, a vacationer’s paradise in the middle of the Arizona desert. Here, you’ll find resorts and spas, canyons and red rock formations. Bell Rock and Oak Creek Canyon are great hiking spots, and the dramatic architecture of the Chapel of the Holy Cross is a religious experience itself. When the sun dips down below the horizon it introduces the best show in Sedona: the night sky.

We booked a beginner glass blowing class for 5 people. Chris was our teacher, and he was fantastic at both explaining the process and leading us (individually) through the process of creating a beautiful glass creation. Granted, Chris did some of the work to make everything come out just right, but we were very pleased with the whole experience, all of the guys' friendliness, and the value. You can stop into their place to purchase items also, and to observe some of the craftsmen at work.

Joe Gebo was a fantastic tour guide for our 2.5 hour bus ride around Sedona. He stopped twice to get us out for 10 to 15 minutes to take pictures and look around. He was so knowledgeable about the town and it's history. It was a really enjoyable ride. I would highly recommend it if you want to see the scenery without hiking.

We absolutely loved our time on the Broken Arrow trail with our guide Doug. It was LEGIT. I thought it would be some bumps here and there but it was fantastic! It makes Indiana Jones at Disneyland look weak. Our guide was hilarious, respectful, and gave us fantastic information about wildlife and other fun facts. I get very carsick and motion sick on planes. I forgot to take a Dramamine before but I was actually completely fine because you go slowly over the rocks and stop to take pictures. No big deal. Would recommend to anyone.

My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary in Sedona in May 2021 and had an amazing time on the Mogollon Rim Run Supreme jeep tour! Honestly, the scenery was spectacular and though we've visited Sedona many times before, we were excited to see the beautiful red rock formations this way. The scenery was surely the star of our tour but the tour guide/driver made a great experience AMAZING. Wyatt was super friendly and personable, and his knowledge of the area was incredible. His descriptions of how the gorgeous banded rock formations came to be was fascinating. He also talked about the different trees and other plants, the history of Sedona, etc. The ease at which he spoke about these topics made it super interesting and approachable! He also took care to be responsive to the group's interests and was very skilled driver who made sure we all felt safe and good about the trip. What was really unique was that he took us to the best lookout spots and offered to snap our pictures at least 4 times - so we have a ton of great photos of the two of us together!! We highly recommend this tour!
