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

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!

We booked a repelling experience with Epic Adventures and it was a great way to spend the day! From the moment we booked, Epic Adventures was very communicative via text. They provided great driving directions. When we arrived, we were promptly greeted by the guide (Bob) who had all of our gear (they asked us in advance about sizes) as well as snacks and water. He led us on a nice hike up to a rockface in Tom Thumb park and taught us a lot about how to repel. This was our first time ever so we needed a lot of lessons. Bob was great at assessing our skills and guiding us on certain paths, etc... to maximize the experience. Great option!

6. Private White Pocket Vermilion Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 12 reviews
White Pocket is a place so remote and amazingly unique that it can feel like you have stepped into another realm where geology decided to bend the rules. White Pocket's geological formation is made of a thin layer of white sandstone lumped up into mounds and cracked into polygonal shapes, somewhat like dried out whipped cream. Under this thin white layer reigns a chaos of yellow, orange and red swirls twisting upon each other. If you are lucky enough to hike there after a summer thunderstorm, you will enjoy a myriad of reflection pools, creating beautiful mirroring effects and infinite opportunities of otherworldly pictures. It is definitely a visual paradise!
Inclusions: Bottled water, Air-conditioned vehicle
Exclusions: 3-person minimum to book a tour

After 10 years of trying to get a permit to THE WAVE, I finally got one in May, 2021. After hearing numerous stories of people being unable to find THE WAVE on their own, I didn't want to take the chance to not get there. So after a review of comments regarding various other guide services to THE WAVE, I chose Vermo, from Seeking Adventures because of their prior good reviews. I was not disappointed. Our group of three was diverse in age...Two 30 years olds and me, a slightly older 67 year old. Right from the beginning it was clear that out guide was setting a pace that everyone could handle. He repeatedly said "this is YOUR day, whatever time you need". Vermo displayed an intimate knowledge of the history, plant life, fossils, dinosaur tracks etc, and showed us examples of each. I confess to tearing up when we finally saw THE WAVE. A singular life experience. I would highly recommend the private tour of Seeking Adventures and Vermo! It will not disappoint! Make your experience at THE WAVE a once in a lifetime achievement and opt for Seeking Adventures!!

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.

Booking and communication with Irina was easy and effortless. We were lead on a short, beautiful and educational hike. When we made it to our yoga studio for the day we were met with this amazing view overlooking Sedona. The weather was perfect which was an added bonus. Irina led us through a wonderful kundalini, meditation and mantra series. The whole experience was magical, relaxing, invigorating and so much fun. We booked this for a girls trip but I can see this being great for any occasion. We would all highly recommend Irina and One Tribe Tours. Thank you again for such an amazing morning!

My partner and I joined Stephen and another couple on a 2-hr Desert Jeep tour and it was truly the highlight of our trip. I recommend this tour for anyone not familiar with the desert (like me). I'm sure he saved me a trip to the emergency room as I initially wanted to touch everything haha. Stephen was such a joy to ride with. He made us feel confident and safe on the tour as he is a retired pilot. He is knowledgeable about the area and you could tell he has a real passion and respect for Arizona. If you are second guessing it, go right along and book it. And ask for Stephen.
