Don’t think twice! - MUST DO! Tali was professional, pleasant and patient with aging members of our party. Gave us extra care with dignity.
Steve, our pilot was a rock star. Professional, SKILLED and personable. He put us on several caves way up the cliffs. His flight was safe and FUN!

Memorable! Exclusive vantage points, fun ride! - One-of-a-kind access to stunning natural beauty and cultural heritage. Apex is a professional operation. Steve is a skillful and knowledgeable pilot, great guide. We paid more to sit in the front - highly recommend. The whole experience is worth the splurge if you can swing it. Mesa Grill across the parking lot is convenient lunch spot before or after, with sweeping views of the mountains.

Apex is the way to go when touring Sedona - Went on this tour for a Birthday Celebration and it did not disappoint. Steve was a great pilot and we appreciated his music during the tour as his extensive knowledge of the area .Tali was also very helpful and provided us transportation to and from the airport from their office. We will absolutely recommend Apex tours again.

Sedona Canyons, Valleys, Mesa - What an amazing 30 minutes of shear delight! The office staff was amazing, organized & friendly. But Josh, our "MAVERICK PILOT" was phenominal & an expert flying above the tree lines & through the canyons! I would do this trip again in a heart beat!

Pilot was as great as the views. - Conner was courteous, answered our pre-flight questions and ensured we followed safety protocols. Our pilot, Steve, was great. He made sure we knew exactly where to look before arriving to points of interest and shared information all along the tour. Helicopter tour covered similar areas that couldn't be visited due to Federal shutdown.
