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!

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.

This was my second trip to Grand Canyon but my first time booking a tour. Our tour guide Sheldon was wonderful. He showed us several beautiful look out points of Grand Canyon. We did not feel rushed and Sheldon was very accommodating to everyone’s needs. Picked up and dropped off at our Airbnb which was a great bonus.
