Archaeology Tour - Lea was very knowledgeable. She knows so much about the Sedona area. We have been going to Sedona for years. Never new there was volcanos. Also how all the red rocks where formed. Wish there was more archaelogy to see. The hike was wonderful. Walking along the river was so peaceful. Lea is a very kind caring person. I would highly recommend Arizona Safari tours. I would also recommend Lea

Best adventure we’ve been on in a while!! - This was the best day!! Fantastic group of people. Ask for Cowboy Bob. He’s a true Sedona historian and really knows the area. We will be back on tours with Arizona Safari again and again.

Tour guide knowledge (Joe) of the area and overall excellence during the hike. - We had an amazing time with our tour guide, Joe, on the Archaeology Hiking Tour. Great knowledge of the area, the geology, and the Indian culture and petroglyphs in the village abandoned 600 years ago! My wife and I greatly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended!!!

Archeology tour was great - JC was amazing. He was super knowledgeable and experienced. He made the past come to life and pointed out ancient markings on rocks, remains of kitchens, homes and history of the people who lived there 13,000 years ago. The owner of Safari is the only tour company that has access to this area. The limited access allows for preservation. We highly recommend JC. He is passionate in sharing.

Stepping into the past - The area was amazing, if you love diving into the past, this one is for you. The tour guide, CK, really made you feel like you were there experiencing what the people might have been doing at the time. This is one trip you want to take.
