The 10 Best Historical & Heritage Tours in Sedona, Arizona (AZ)

August 18, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

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 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

Even if you are on the fence as to should you or shouldn’t you have a session with Anke, you should. This was the most helpful thing I’ve done for myself in easily 30 years. At the time of my session I honestly didn’t know what I intended to talk about. Anke said she could feel what I needed. I couldn’t believe what came out of my own mouth that I needed her direction. She has a gift a true gift that I would have never believed had I not experienced. My sincere thanks to Anke for the help to guide me in the best direction for the woman in me. It’ll be a journey that I welcome.

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.

Jeff was very helpful in planning everything. Aaron picked us up at our hotel and drove us up to the Grand Canyon with a few stops along the way. Aaron was a great guide. He had tons of knowledge, from plants to history and answered every question we had. He made sure that everything went smooth and that we would not miss any of our planned activities. We then took a helicopter back to Sedona where Jeff was waiting for us and drove us back to our hotel. Along the way he helped gives us some ideas of some other activities to do during our remaining stay in Sedona. Both vans were very nice and clean. Thank you Jeff and Aaron! Great Company!

The number of times I said, "WOOOOOW!" on this trip was insane. I couldn't get over the natural features of the landscape. Naala was so informative, attentive, and thoughtful. She made sure to communicate with me through the sixteen-hour trip (it was just the two of us.) I had the chance to see Red Rocks, Chapel of the Holy Cross, Sedona, scenic HWY 89a, Oak Creek Canyon, Flagstaff, and Horseshoe Bend at the Golden Hour and oh boy this is a trip that'll be hard to forget. On our way back to Phoenix, I tried sitting back and taking a nap, but I couldn't stop envisioning the beautiful scenery I had seen. Naala, thank you for a fantastic experience that I'll never forget, YOU ROCK and I'LL BE BACK!

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.
