On the ride to Sedona... - On the ride to Sedona there are several stops, we saw a lot of the recommended items in one day, couple hours for lunch and shopping, slower pace during that time

Thanks, Aldo! - Aldo is an awesome tour guide and he made sure we had a great time and learned a thing or two about the places we visited. Very lucky to have also spent time with a friendly group of people and make some fun memories for someone like myself doing some solo traveling. Thank you for the experience! If Aldo does the Grand Canyon, I’ll come back to do a tour from him!

A perfect day - We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and our guide Laurel who was very knowledgeable about a variety of subjects and entertaining. We saw the most important spots in and around Sedona. It was amazing and anyone should try this reputable tour company when in Arizona.

Sedona Rocks! - Dan was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about native plant and animal life and history of the area. Lot of travel time in the small bus, but well worth the trip. Enough time to have a lunch and explore during the several stops.

Excellent! - I can't say enough about my recent experience with Detours. Before my trip, Rachel personally reached out to confirm details and offer helpful reminders. I received all confirmation and pickup information promptly and, on the day of our tour, everything was perfect. Our guide, Jeff, was incredibly knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. He did a great job keeping things moving, while also ensuring everyone had enough time to appreciate the surroundings and experience. The van was comfortable and well-appointed for the 2-hour trip, and the views were stunning. Overall, an incredibly personal and professional company that provides an amazing experience!

Great Tour - It was a really great day trip. Bruce our tour guide, was really knowledgeable and gave us some great information . We got some amazing up close views of the red rocks in Sedona. And we got to see the town from different vantage points. The Chapel of the Holy Cross was amazing. We got to go inside and take a look. We ended the day at Montezuma Castle which was really interesting. It is a great tour of Sedona. You get to see a little bit of everything.

Sedona, Montezuma Castle - Strongly advise having a tour guide. First, so you can leave the driving to someone who is very experienced. The traffic is high. Secondly, our guide (Bruce) was awesome! So knowledgeable. Took great care of us!

Small group tour to Sedona - Great that hotel pick up/drop off was included, very convenient. Aldo, our driver/guide, was very knowledgeable and made the trip more enjoyable by sharing his experiences (the pie box, Ocean Breeze etc.), but had quiet times too. Scenery was spectacular. Wish that the vortex (Bell Rock etc. was explained more). Washroom breaks were regularly scheduled. At the steep climb to the church, Aldo was able to suggest the golf cart-good suggestion if have mobility issues. Thank you for a great trip. MC-Canada
