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.

AZ Newbies - This was our first visit to the state of AZ, so we don't know what we don't know. However, the trip allowed us to see the best of Sedona - several stops with time to [mostly] take in all we wanted to see. The tour guide was friendly, the bus was comfortable, and I learned new things. We didn't experience anything negative on the trip. We rated the tour 4 out of 5 stars due to the time management. We were in the group of people who were the first to be picked up and the last to be dropped off (which made for a long day). We also didn't book an excursion within Sedona. These two factors left us with lots of time on the bus. We would have liked more time with the downtown shops as each was unique and took time to fully appreciate. All in all, we appreciated the experiences and not having to drive ourselves to these destinations as the tour bus allowed ups VIP drop offs and pick ups. Thanks for a great day.
