          Fantastic tour!
          Our guide, Steve, was fantastic! Told us all about the area, led us to the best spots for views, shopping, and food. Great sense of humor! Worth the money!

          Taking In Sedona!
          I took my daughter and daughter-in-law on a girl's trip to Arizona. We had a great tour with Mark Friedman. He was very knowledgeable about the sites and the history of the area. The view from The Chapel of the Holy Cross is breathtaking! Mark was helpful in trying to let us get a good photo of sites when we were traveling in the van. We had a few stops where we got out of the van, but I might suggest to maybe have a few more places to actually get out and to have one bathroom break. Mark was a very pleasant guide and I would highly recommend him.

          Well planned and executed
          Excellent tour- everything was on time and well executed. We had a fabulous guide - Mike. The visit to the lava rocks and lunch at Cameron were well-timed. Overall, really enjoyed the 4 stops at Grand Canyon.

          Grand Canyon 90th Birthday Celebration
          A wonderful day with fellow travelers and our guide Steveebe. All the sights were intresting, breathtaking and wonderful. But Steevebe brought it all alive with his knowledge and great way of telling and explaining the millions of years of history creating the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas. Lunch at Cameron's was absolutely delicious.

          A must do for visitors
          Tour guide Mark Friedman gave us an over the top experience on our tour of the Grand Canyon. We stopped at multiple places along the way including a lava field park which was incredible in itself. Another stop was an ancient Pueblo museum and lunch (provided by Great Venture) at an Indian reservation. A way over the top experience! Would be a must for anyone traveling in the area. Way more to say but it’s a review

          10/10 would do it again
          Mark, our tour guide, was spectacular. He picked us up promptly at our hotel and we went on to pick up a few more couples. Every single destination on this tour was beautiful and Mark shared lots of information regarding the history, plants, etc. Mark provided us with waters and made sure to stop at rest areas throughout the trip. We saw Mule deer, elk, turkeys, lizards, and a few coyotes in the early morning! Overall, this tour is spectacular and I would recommend it to anyone!

          Lovely day in Arizona
          We love road trips so loved the drive from Sedona to Glen Canyon and the river. Jamie, our small-van driver, was safe, fun and informative. The river float was fun and scenery breathtaking . We enjoyed our lunch on the beach sitting on a rock under a small mesquite tree.

          Our Grand Canyon Sunset experience
          We had an amazing time, The views were unbelievable! The guide was very friendly and informative. I only wished we could have had more time at the Grand Canyon. Also, it would be nice if they could have the stop in the middle instead of clear at one end and have to walk to the other end to see things. We did not get the entire way as I got short of breath. The meal was okay, but I would not call it "fancy". If you didn't get your dessert at the beginning, you were required to purchase on your own. Who gets ice cream right away? I know there were some that took advantage and loaded down plates with food and then took home carry out boxes. That ruined it for everyone. This needs to be addressed.

          Great trip from Sedona to GC. Learned a TON along the way. The guide was a wealth of knowledge. The drive itself was cool, watching the changes in terrain. He made a long day fly by and knew the good spots for pics.

        This tour is long but worth every minute. The guide made it very informative. He knew so much about the area. It was obvious he loves his job and respects the sacred area you will drive thru.

        Our first stop was Horseshoe Bend. Lots of time for photos.

        The main event, Antelope Canyon (upper), is beyond any photo you may have seen. Suggested by our driver and highly recommend you have your Navajo guide take photos once you’re inside the canyon (since this canyon is on Navajo land only a native can bring you there.

        Pictures are worth a thousand words. I’ll let my photos below speak for me.

        We had Charlie as our guide. He was very informative not only about the things that we were going to see but other information as well. He had a lot of knowledge of the Glendale down and his Connection with his guests was genuine. It made the day so much fun. You are in the van for a while but he makes so many stops it didn’t seem like it was that long. Antelope Canyon was worth its weight in gold and our Indian guide there was very informative and took quality pictures in my phone of the cave that I couldn’t take myself. They provide water but eat breakfast before and if you are a snacker brings snacks. Lunch was ok. But I won’t complain because everything else was amazing!

        It far exceeded my expectations and it was all due to our guide, Leland. Many times he took photos of each of us with our cameras, even enhancing each one. At the end of the tour, with a trowel and water bottle, he demonstrated how the formations were generated with water, time and wind. I now have a thorough understanding as to why Arizona has is beautiful formations. Thank you Leland!

        I have nothing but good things to say. Starting from the friendliness and caring attention from the tour guide down to the scenic beauty of all the places we visited, it was a memorable experience. The itinerary took us to some of the most beautiful places I've been, ones that I think are the most beautiful on earth. The horseshoe bend was so spectacular that I couldn't stop taking pictures from a hundred angles. The slot canyons were a whole new experience. We were immersed in a labyrinth of colorful awesomeness. Every bend and cavern was worth a hundred pictures, every picture was worth a gallery. This part of the tour had its own guide from the native tribe, and she was well versed in the geology and super friendly. The guide of the main tour also made us feel comfortable and well informed throughout the ride. All in all, it was series of breathtaking views that made us marvel at mother nature. You must take this tour of you're ever in Arizona for sightseeing.

        We were looking for a side trip when we were visiting Sedona & I happened to see the this. What an amazing tour-so glad that we chose to do this! It is listed as a 12 hour tour but it was extremely enjoyable & there were a few stops along the way. We were picked up at our hotel at 6:!0 & taken to a different van to meet our guide -Wayne, He was, for us, probably one of the best tour guides we have had-what a gem! He was so knowledgeable, fun & very well traveled himself. The stops during the day were : a convenience store for snacks/restroom break in the morning/afternoon, the Cameron Trading Post, Horseshoe Bend, a restaurant for lunch, where we met our guide for the Antelope Canyon part of the tour & Glen Canyon Dam/Lake Powell. Wayne was also helpful in assisting those who needed it in & out of the van, He took our orders for lunch which was at Gone West in Pace. There were great options to choose from. Antelope Canyon was an amazing unforgettable site & our Navajo guide, Latisha was so informative & assisted everyone in taking the best photos. We were returned to our hotel about 5:30pm. this tour is definitely a must do if you are in the area & have the time.

        Brad, our tour guide was awesome. Knowledgeable, funny, learned some interesting facts, he was interactive with passengers. Trip was worth it, both destinations were breathtaking. Trip was well organized, lunch was great w vegetarian options. Tour guide in the antelope canyon was a seasoned Navajo tour guido, really knowledgeable, great photography skills and even played us an instrument in the canyon. Highly recommended.

        I can't even describe today's tour without breaking into a smile. First, kudos to Cat for being an awesome tour guide. She spoke clearly, moved us along, and got us to multiple cool sites! Second kudos to Leland for being our Navajo tour guide for Antelope Upper Canyon. He is an exceptional photographer and I highly, highly recommend that you request him if possible for your tours. He took the time to take all the pictures we wanted while explaining many, many cool things about the canyon. Would 100% recommend this tour.

        This was a good tour but we definitely wish we had more time at both destinations. We had the pickup in Sedona and the drive to the locations take away a lot of the time you could otherwise spend at the destinations. The trou guide and the group we ended up with were great. You would be better served to visit these locations when you are staying nearer to them or using your own rental car to drive to the destinations so there are fewer stops for a group and you can control how fast you go. When you arrive at Horseshoe Bend, you have one hour to walk out to the view, enjoy the view and take pictures, and walk back. We are fast walkers so we probably ended up with more time than most would. I would have enjoyed that area more if we had more time to take it all in. I do not know if you can go to Antelope Canyon without being on a guided tour like this, but those tours do move you along fairly quickly there is no way around that. Our ride out to the canyon was half the fun of that part of the trip! Super bumpy and fast ride, so if you get car sick this is NOT for you. Our Navajo guide through the canyon itself was great and he even played a song inside on his flute for us. The lunch included wasn't anything to write home about but was a good lunch nonetheless. Our driver was very informative and made the last bit of the ride back to the hotel fun where all the guests got to choose a song to play in the van.

        The rating has nothing to do with the actual tour which is probably very good. I rated it a "1" because there is no provision for getting a refund. My wife was suffering from COVID and we had to cancel our trip. I cancelled this excursion two weeks before the date and received ZERO refund, nor did I receive a credit toward a future tour with them. To lose over $500 in today's economy was a tough pill to swallow.

        Please be advised that the tour you booked states "All Sales Final" through Viator/TripAdvisor. If you had contacted us, the Tour Provider directly, we would have taken the matter into consideration and authorized a full refund. We have just learned about this in a forum for actual tour reviews which is regrettable. However, we have contacted Viator/TripAdvisor and authorized a full refund which we would have done sooner had you again, reached out to us directly.
