A great way to start your Sedona trip! - Would absolutely recommend this experience, esp as a way to start your Sedona trip. It gives you a taste of what the area has to offer. We had Michael for a tour guide and his knowledge was extensive and very interesting... I'm bummed I didn't bring a notebook to record it all! The tour itself was stunning. It goes by fast! There are many great photo ops, shopping, and beautiful vistas.
Michael also gave us recommendations for a place to go for sunset viewing and stargazing and that location was beautiful. He also took some great photos of us that turned out to be our favorites of the day!
We liked that the tour ended early enough in the day where we had time to go out and explore on our own.
The jeep itself was more comfortable than I was anticipating. It was fairly easy to get in and out of. But what made this tour was our guide, Michael. Would absolutely recommend this if you're coming to Sedona!
Grab breakfast before you get there though. When we were there, none of the places right around the meeting place were open before the tour, except for one which didn't open until 8.

Awesome Half Day Sedona Immersion Tour--Stories and town founding history! - We took this guided tour of the Sedona area and it was the highlight of our visit! We were able to visit several spots on our list during this half-day drive and a couple that weren't, and our day was customized for us by our guide, Michael. We ended up on a private tour because no one else had booked the 8:30 am trip, and it was exciting to see vortex areas like Airport Mesa and Rachel's Knoll (beautiful viewpoints), monuments like Chapel of the Holy Cross, a Native American market where I bought some lovely pieces from local artisans, and much more. This tour did not disappoint, and you'll be glad you booked this excursion with the Cadillac of off road jeeps!!
Michael was an enjoyable storyteller, historical guide, and is a long-time local who had all kinds of information and context about the founding of Sedona and its' historical background. He was fun and did a great job sharing his enthusiasm and love for Sedona and the local area. He also gave us local dining tips as well as a few other interesting spots to see during our stay here--we will be visiting the town of Jerome to check that out later!
Things to note:
You are riding in an open-air jeep, so hang onto your hat if you have one, and if you need a light jacket for early morning, bring one as well as your sunscreen along. Wear comfy shoes so you can walk easily and comfortably at stops. Our guide had a ton of cold water handy in case we needed it and was very accommodating.
Don't forget to thank your guide with a tip!

- Booked the Ultimate Sedona Experience with AZ Safari Jeep Tours. Our tour guide Michael was EXCEPTIONAL! He totally made our tour remarkable. His knowledge and expertise on the area was phenomenal. We got to see everything we wanted and his timing on arrival at the various points was spot on ... always beating the crowd! Our trip was filled with laughter and deep sentiment for the area. We couldn't have had a better guide - make sure you book with Michael! All our Arch Angels aligned us that day!

Great experience! - Michael was amazing! Super knowledgable about Sedona's history and geology. He was really engaging and responsive to our group. I did this tour as part of my bachelorette celebration with five friends from all over the United States. We are so glad we took this tour - we learned a lot and got to experience a vortex!! So cool!!

Highly recommend! - This was our first visit to Sedona. This truly was the “Ultimate” Sedona experience. John showed us all of the sights and gave us tons of information about each place. He was super kind, patient, and engaging with my eleven year old daughter. He even gave us a tip on where to swim when our tour was over. I highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic Sedona Experience! - This was a great overview of the Sedona area. Michael was an absolutely fantastic guide, offering humor, insight, and both spiritual and scientific observations. As the last locally owned tour company, it was great to support the local population from its owners to their employees. The tour was about 4.5 hours and included sights, shopping, and a chance to connect with energy Sedona is known for. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Ok then - Not much to see here, could spend about 10 min and that's a wrap. Pretty, but.... The way it was built was cool, had to walk up a fairly steep hill to get to if crowded
