Verde Canyon Rail Day Adventure da Scottsdale o Phoenix

Definitely a great trip. Cody, the owner of Wandering Heart Adventures, the actual tour trip company that Viator set us up with, was the best! So knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely book with Wandering Heart Adventures when I get back to Arizona again!

Four couples in our group and everyone was delighted with the trip. This is not some high speed thrill ride, this is a slow ride through some very difficult but beautiful country. There is narration throughout the trip plus the car attendant added other tidbits and pointed out specific sites. We elected to upgrade to a first class car which offered nicer seating and are happy we did. We each got a bottle of water and a snack box with good cheese, fruit and a brownie. There was a bar with a very nice selection of margaritas, wine and beer. The margaritas were great. We saw deer, coyote and water fowl. The train cars are completely refurbished and open viewing cars are provided.

The views and the train ride were amazing every person was very friendly. We would highly recommend Wandering Heart Adventures travel agency and this tour. Interesting and fun.

Not enough good words to describe Cody Newport from Wandering Hearts Adventures!!!! A native of the area with a lot of experience in hospitality and touring.My husband and I hadn't been in this area for 25 plus years and wanted to revisit Sedona and surroundings area and check off a bucket list rail tour while I was there for a conference. We chose the Verde Canyon Rail tour one day tour which Cody pointed out much more scenic then the Grand Canyon Railroad. Tour was amazing. Brought us to 2 National Park/Native American sites ( Montezumas castle and Tuzigoot), both spectacular. Then to the old copper mining town of Jerome which I could honestly have spent the whole day at! Such a cool vibe. Then to Clarksdale to board the beautiful Verde Valley Rail. First class car. Lovely. Great staff.Bar services. A little buffet lunch. Cody very knowledgeable. I was lucky enough to find him prior to trip, was able to converse directly with him about options, very attentive and took time planning with you! His van brand new, clean, comfortable. He will book minimum 2 people. Won't cancel last minute because he didn't fill the bus like other companies! Very affordable for the personal service. Punctual. Picked us up in Phoenix and no problem dropping us end of day in Scottsdale as we were changing hotels for end of week. Start to finish a fantastic day. We felt so comfortable with him. My husband has some mobility issues. He went out of way to make the tour enjoyable for him! Very kind and conscientious. My colleague also in area wanted to spend some real time in the Sedona area viewing the red rocks and the town. He created a personal tour for 4 of us another day- affordable, included lunch. Definitely saw some things others wouldn't have because of his personal service. Took us to every viewing area, Chapel of Holy Cross, Buddhist prayer temple, and the town of Sedona for lunch and shopping. This is the type of small business owner you want to see succeed! Contact him before you book with others. Cody, thank you for making our opportunity to re visit this area a very special experience! Would tell anyone visiting this area to contact you!
