Jorge was the absolute best host we have ever had on a trip or tour of any kind! He made the entire experience for us. He wouldn’t let us lift a finger!! Not only did he take care of any trash or glasses we had, he entertained us the entire way. He was absolutely amazing and we hope to comeback and have him again one day! Thank you Jorge - the Jersey girls on Mother’s Day

We decided to try a rental location outside of Sedona to avoid the crowds and we made the right choice with Vortex! Dee, Hal, and Nate were super helpful. Nate walked us through the maps and we saw everything we were looking for, a roadrunner even crossed our path while we were out on the trail. They also had a convenient spot for us to park with our travel trailer in tow. The 4-seater Yamaha was easy to drive and had plenty of power. All around great experience!!

Our group loved the wine tour. Jorge by far is the best!!! Very knowledgeable, and very funny. Kept our group entertained the entire trip. Keep in mind when you book that this is only for limo ride, and a charcuterie box for each person. If you are going to tastes at each winery count on $10-$15 for a flight of 4-6 pours. Some wineries are more generous than others on their pours!!! Over all I would recommend Bliss Wine tours.
