We had a great time on our ghost tour of Jerome with Jamie! I was a bit skeptical of the whole experience and wanted to keep shopping and wine tasting.

Wow! Vishali does an amazing job with her private tours. She picked us up from our hotel in Sedona in her CRV and took us all around Sedona. She is a great driver. We saw ‘snoopy’, ‘Lucy’, ‘Schroeder’, ‘the percolator’, ‘holy cross chapel’, ‘lion king’ and many other rock formations. She sat in the chapel with us for as long as we wanted. She took photos of us and even showed how to get the best photo angle. She was very patient and knowledgeable about the area. Sharing lots of history and points of interest. I highly recommend taking the tour with her. It was the highlight of our stay in Sedona.

We had an amazing time on our private Grand Canyon tour. Chris was very accommodating of us. We started at 7:45 AM in Sedona and had a beautiful drive out to the Grand Canyon filled with great conversation & many interesting facts from Chris about the region. The van was clean, comfortable and spacious. The Grand Canyon tour was fantastic, we would not have seen as much had we driven there on our own. Chris optimized our time so that we had as much time as possible at the Canyon. Also the lunch was incredible, he somehow managed to get us a reservation at the El Tovar Dining Room! From start to finish a fantastic day that I would recommend to anyone looking to see the Grand Canyon.

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.
