The 10 Best Walking Tours in Arizona, United States

April 11, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

The state of Arizona is one that features a fantastic diversity of landscapes and areas of geological interest. North Arizona is famous for the Grand Canyon, a colorful chasm with steep rocky walls more than a mile deep and stretching some 277 miles alongside the Colorado River. Other notable destinations in North Arizona include Flagstaff set alongside the San Francisco Peaks which has the largest ponderosa pine forest, Museum of Northern Arizona, and is close to a number of national parks and monuments. On the south side of Arizona lies the city of Phoenix, the largest in Arizona. Notable day trips in Phoenix include the Heard Museum which is one of America's largest collections of Native American art, Phoenix Museum of History, as well as the Desert Botanical garden which has a great collection of desert plants.

This is a fun, interesting history based narrative tour of the Historic Downtown Flagstaff Area. Each version of the tour is interesting and has its own perks. The Segway PT is really fun to ride and cover much more distance. The bike tour has a fun downhill section. The walking tour gets a little mor eup close and personal. Either way , they are all a blast!

This was the second time I attended Michele’s Sedona Full Moon Meditation experience and all I can say is it’s purely magical. Michele is an amazing host - calm, knowledgeable, approachable, serious, playful, respectful, lighthearted and extremely pleasant. She is very willing to share her extensive knowledge about meditation and all things lunar ranging from lore and mythology to science. Michele was well prepared for this experience, she provided us with blankets to keep us warm and meditation pillows to sit on, headlamps if we needed them. The location she chose for the experience was sublime. We were next to a labyrinth that we walked as part of the experience and we had a quiet, unobstructed view of the incredible April supermoon. She confidently led us through a wonderful meditation and I look forward to attending her next one if at all possible. Attending this experience was definitely one of the high points of my recent visit to Sedona.

A++ Adventure! Wildland Trekking sets the standard for adventure hiking. No gear – no problem, they provide high quality gear for you to use. Our guides (JP and Ruthie) were extremely personable and engaging, making it easy for the group to connect early in the trip. They were also very knowledgeable, taking time to tell stories or point out areas of interest along our daily route. They accommodated all the food preferences of the group without sacrificing quality and variety – loved that each guide shared their favorite dishes with us. Can you say cookbook? Camp sites were spectacular and well-spaced so that hiking distance was manageable each day – even had a day where we spent lounging in the clear and refreshing waters of the Paria River. If you are looking for a hiking adventure, look no further than Wildland Trekking – I guarantee you will not be disappointed. We are looking forward already to our next trip with Wildland!

This is the only private, VIP Grand Canyon Sunset Tour of ten or less in Las Vegas (to Grand Canyon South Rim). The Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular sites on earth. A sunset over it is even more stunning! We begin by picking you up at your hotel, include a McDonald's breakfast, picnic lunch, photo stop at Hoover Dam, rest stop in Kingman, Arizona, photo stop on Route 66, fully-guided and narrated two mile walk, and the Grand Canyon Sunset. Our focus is on your experience at the Grand Canyon so we minimize our group sizes to maximize your tour experience. We'll spend three hours at the Grand Canyon, having a picnic lunch there and walking along the upper rim trail. The trail is very easy, flat, and paved. We'll walk from El Tovar Hotel to Yavapai Observation Station, where we'll set up and watch the sun set. The peaceful walk along the upper rim trail introduces you to the surreal, tranquil beauty of the Grand Canyon.

Though other companies may offer similar tours, our company adds the extra unique spiritual side to Sedona. We feel Sedona is a magical, mystical location that draws certain people to the special energies here. Most people are attracted to Sedona for a reason. And, in may cases, those reasons come to the surface during or after this experience.

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. Within 5 minutes of being on the tour with Jamie I was so happy we decided to do the tour. It was informational, creepy and so much fun! I highly recommend!

This was a fantastic experience on my first day in Phoenix. The trek from the base of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve was beautiful, and we passed dozens of types of cacti, foliage and geological features. I was thrilled that we were treated to animal sightings as well, including rabbits, squirrels, quail, doves, a soaring red-tail hawk, and bats. My guide, Matt, was enthusiastic, informative and accommodating. At times, I wanted to sit down and just soak in the nature, while at others, I wanted to ask a lot of questions. Matt was great on all fronts. Thank you for an excellent experience!
