What To Expect

This area of Arizona is so rich in Native American history and culture. On this full-day trip from Phoenix, you will visit ancient ruins at either Tuzigoot National Monument or Montezuma Castle National Monument. One of the largest pueblos ever built by the Sinagua some time between 1100 and 1450 AD is at Tuzigoot National Monument. You’ll see the ruins of a building that once consisted of two stories and 110 rooms. Wonderfully preserved Montezuma Castle National Monument is an easily accessible structure built into a cliff about 70 feet (21 meters) above the ground. Here, find an impressive five stories and 20 distinct rooms. 

Before returning to Phoenix, visit The Chapel of the Holy Cross, a modern chapel built into the buttes, as well as massive Bell Rock, one of Sedona's most popular red rock formations. You'll likely find the red-rock formations of Sedona awe-inspiring. Don't forget your camera to capture the vast landscapes.

Montezuma Castle National Monument

To be true to the area's rich history, the Sedona single day tour gives you a chance to explore ancient Native American civilization. You'll visit the ruins at Montezuma Castle National Monument which are the most easily accessible, best preserved and arguably the most spectacular cliff ruins in North America. You'll see an impressive 20-room, 5-story structure built into the recess of a white limestone cliff about 70 feet (21 meters) above the ground.

Overall Pleasant and Enriching
Eva_J, Mar 2023
We had a pleasant round trip drive from Phoenix to Sedona seeing said sites. The threat of 50% chance of rain had us worried but Mark let us know he had extra umbrellas just in case - great info to know ahead of time to save bag space. Mark was very nice and knowledgeable!

Terrific tour of Native American ruins and beautiful Sedona. Aldo was a great guide making the day a wonderful experience. He is amiable, erudite and very knowledgeable of Arizona history and details of the sites visited. He also made for a very efficient and relaxing trip, avoiding traffic and congestion on a very busy tourist day. Highly recommend this tour for a family and would advise requesting Aldo as your guide!

This tour was very enjoyable and just the right length. The blue Arizona sky and bright sunshine accent of the natural beauty of the area. Our tour guide was cheerful animated and very knowledgeable. She made the trip so much more enjoyable as she gave colorful explanations of the sites and history of the area. Her music playlist was very appropriate for our trip and very relaxing . The group of people on the tour were friendly and seem to have a great time. I highly recommend this tour. The time that we spend on each of the stops with adequate I did not feel rushed. A perfect day!
