This was a great tour. It was nice to get off the paved road and go through the forest. Sheila is a fun guide and very knowledgeable. There are several scenic stops on this tour with the opportunity for fun photo ops. The sunset views of the canyon can’t be beat.

This is a perfect way to see the grand canyon in one day. You are guided by and expert - we had Keaton - he was excellent. You see many different aspects and along the way you are given just the right amount of education about the surrounding vegetation, history and all important geology of the area. There is nothing boring or dry - it is all made to be part of the fun. Would strongly recommend this as a great way to realize this is so much more than " a big hole in the ground"!!

**Private tour** This is a fantastic tour designed to focus solely on the Grand Canyon, the history, the geology, and the mystery. It's biggest advantage is less time spent on tour at stops along the way to obtain a shorter day at a more economical price. It's particularly better if a family has young kids. So we leave later in the morning and get back earlier in the evening. The tour includes the entrance fee to the park as well. The price of lunch is not included, and is the only dine in meal we stop for, bringing snacks is recommended. To experience this tour to its fullest, its best to start in Sedona.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Parking Fees

Exclusions: Lunch

Our tour with Chad was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Sedona. It’s clear why private tours are his bread and butter - he tailored the experience to me and my husband and made it so memorable and special. On top of that, Chad was so knowledgeable in the history, culture, geography and geology of the area - we learned so much! We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing our tour with Juniper the Adventure Puppy on his maiden voyage which added an unexpected and much appreciated element of cuteness and cuddles. Chad should raise his prices because I can’t believe we had such a great experience for so little money! Truly cannot recommend this tour enough!!

We had an awesome experience!! Our pilot (Becky) did a fabulous job and her support staff was excellent as well (I wish I had his name). He made us comfortable and made the preflight check-in a breeze. They were both knowledgeable and made the experience so much better. The views were phenomenal!!! Becky even told us the best ways to get good photos.

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.
