Very informative and knowledgeable guide. Worthwhile experience. Would have liked more time in Sedona and maybe less in Jerome.
My husband Don surprised my girlfriends and I with this excursion. It was the perfect amount of time for the sights we saw. Our guide Frank Salle, is a very interesting person to spend the day with. He uses his knowledge and passion for Arizona to ensure you have a terrific experience. I have been to AZ many times, and learned a lot of things I never knew before. He pointed out the old stage coach trail that I passed many times never knowing about its history. Talked about all the dessert plants, and the history of all the places we visited. He even showed us how to take great panoramic photos with our phones. He definitely enjoys what he is doing and didn’t rush the stops at all. I would definitely ask for him on our next adventure! - Denise P
Zane was very knowledgeable and funny. My husband and I had a great time. Everything was good. We had plenty of time to shop as well.
We originally did this tour last year through another company but the weather put a damper on our tour. This year was better! Our group first went to Montezuma Castle, and then we toured Sedona a bit. The Red Rocks are beautiful when the weather is good. We ended the day in Jerome. Our guide, Jeff, also showed us some scenic views so we appreciated that! Definitely a must-do!
We had a brilliant time. It was helped by reading the information given before going, like take some warm clothing with you as it could be chilly.
It was a wonderful day trip. Frank was incredibly kind and made sure we had the best possible experience.
Frank was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Arizona, the native plants, the land formations, restaurants, and just about everything related to our tour. Montezuma's Castle was fascinating, Sedona - simply gorgeous, the Chapel of the Holy Cross - breathtaking, and Jerome at the top of the mountain - quaint with incredible views! We all enjoyed the entire tour and felt completely safe with Frank behind the wheel. A must do if you are visiting the Phoenix area.
It’s amazing journey and breathtaking experience in sedona, jerome and other places. We went to see the Montezuma castle and discovered the way ancient civilisation used to live and castle is testament to it. Amazing place
Had a good time and I got some interesting facts about the places we visited. Sedona is a cool place, I’ll come back in the future
We had amazing time. Jeff is friendly, knowledgeable and a great driver. Locations were spectacular and everything went smoothly.
