Great time

Shelley_s, Mar 2023

Tour guide Chris was extremely knowledgeable. Places that we visited were interesting and now we know more about Arizona

Sedona day trip

Thomas_D, Mar 2023

Sedona and it’s beauty and the drive up and back to Phoenix as the dessert transforms in multiple phases. Chris our driver provided so much great information. Didn’t know Montezuma Castle existed so fun to see . Spending time in the quirky town of Jerome and then driving home over the mountain and seeing its beauty was great

A Great Travel Adventure

Patricia_T, Jan 2023

Visiting Sedonna and learning the history of the area! The tour was led by Han and he did a great job! Well paced your!

Awesome day! Memorable

Rhoda_M, Jan 2023

We had a great time. Pick up and return right at the resort. Kim was so knowledgeable and able to get us from place to place in a timely fashion. She took our picture for us, offered suggestions of places to eat and shop. We much appreciated her and the opportunity to see Arizona’s treasures without the stress and worry if driving ourselves.

Kim made our trip even more special. She was the best guide we have ever had:)

Silvia_P, Dec 2022

Sedona and Jerome were absolutely awesome! The food was great and the sights were amazing. We can’t wait to come back and visit again next year!

Awesome

Silvia_P, Dec 2022

We all had a great time best part was Kim our guide - different experience s in different areas was adventurous

Review of Tour with Kim

Caroline_S, Oct 2022

My favorite part of the trip was seeing Sedona. It was such a cute town and I loved that I asked our tour guide (Kim) for recommendations and she took me to different areas and stores and showed me around the cute town. There was a lot to see and explore with limited time and she answered all my questions and took me to the best places!!

Siona and Jerome, beautiful landscapes and fauna in the Arizona desert one should not miss..

Monica_P, Oct 2022

Fue muy interesante apreciar los paisajes del desierto con sus rocas rojas incluido los cactus gigantes, a pesar que están padeciendo debido a la sequía que está aquejando en los últimos meses o años quizá. La guía Kim fue muy amable, paciente y muy atenta a las necesidades de los integrantes del grupo. En general, fue una agradable experiencia. La única dificultad que sorteamos fue la comunicación por teléfono por cuanto el nuestro no era de los Estados Unidos y es algo que las agencias turísticas podrían tomar en cuenta para turistas de otros países aunque el uso del email fue oportuno en algunas ocasiones. It was very interesting to appreciate the landscapes of the desert with its red rocks, including the giant cacti, even though they are suffering due to the drought that has been afflicting them in recent months or perhaps years. The guide Kim was very kind, patient and very attentive to the needs of the group members. Overall it was a nice experience. The only difficulty we overcame was communication by phone since ours was not from the United States and it is something that tourist agencies could take into account for tourists from other countries, although the use of email was opportune on some occasions.

Great day!

Ride to Sedona

Mary_O, Jul 2021

The chapel of the cross was my favorite stop. The trip over all was fair. A few things that your company has control over and make some changes are, the air conditioning system was on full blast, but, blowing out hot air. Repair it please. Next I would suggest that the driver put some sort of trash bag with in the bus . The driver was very informative

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Thank you for your review of this tour. We have taken this van to the repair shop to fix the air conditioning and it is being fixed immediately. We will remind our guides to take a trash bag from the back of the van and make it available to our guests.

Recommend this trip

Sonia_K, Jul 2021

Eric was a great guide. I decided to join this tour because I was traveling alone so did not want to drive around. Eric was a great driver. And the company is proactive about the road situation so that the car does not get stuck in the traffic. Overall, I recommend this trip!

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Thank you for this review. There was an incident on the highway that day, so we returned via another route. Sedona's Red Rocks are definitely worth seeing and Eric is an excellent guide.

Wonderful well rounded tour

Brian_F, Feb 2021

Roger was great. He took us to some great spots. Jerome was so cool. Sedona was breathtaking. Roger knew how to get around and did a wonderful job of narrating as he went. Thank you for this memorable trip.

Response from Host, Feb 2021

Thank you for your excellent review of the Sedona tour you took with Roger. We are so glad that you enjoyed this tour. We agree that Roger is an excellent guide, as is our entire staff of guides. Please join us the next time you visit on one of our other exciting tours Across Arizona.

MEMORABLE ADVENTURE

Valerie_C, Mar 2020

WOW! This was a great and fabulous tour!! Started out to Sedona to see the Red Rocks, Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Coffeepot Rock. Breathtaking views for picture taking!! Then off to see the Chapel of the Holy Cross, very unique to see how it was built between two red rocks! It's small inside but very grand when you walk in to see Jesus. Next to upper Sedona to spend 2 hours for lunch and souvenir shopping. Recommend Canyon Breeze for lunch as they give a generous amount of food and a good amount of choices as well. Lots of shops to stop in to find that something you want to bring back for memory sake and to show you have been to Sedona. There's also a popcorn shop that has free samples, hmm yum! We then went to Jerome which was a very interesting town. Along the way we passed through Cottonwood and Clarkdale. Also given good amount of time to explore the quaint town of Jerome which was a mining town. As you walk through the streets you will come across old equipment and cars from back in time. It takes you back and gives off a feel of how it once was in the late 19th century. For those who love chocolate and have a severe sweet tooth, you MUST stop in at the Copper Country Fudge shop located on 337 Main Street. The woman at the counter is responsible for all the candy as she makes them herself! The English Toffee and the Honey Comb one is to die for as that is what I purchased. There are many other choices as well. And now the best for last which was Montezuma's Castle. Another amazing national monument. Unfortunately you will have to view it from below and not actually go on the pathway which is understandable in order to preserve this ancient wonder. Kim our guide was very informative during the whole journey along the way to each location. I enjoyed our conversations. I was in Flagstaff back in 2017 and everyone there had said to me that I must see Sedona. I throughly enjoyed my experience and am glad to finally have seen Sedona! Another memorable adventure to add to my travels. I highly recommend this tour!! Thank you Across Arizona Tours!!

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Thank you for your review of the Sedona tour you took with Bee. She is an excellent guide, as is our whole staff of guides. The Red Rocks of Sedona are incredible, too.

lauraleeangella, Aug 2019

This tour was ok. Sedona was beautiful with its red rock. I love the chapel on the hill. Jerome was interesting with their haunted theme. Nice stores and shops. Homes built precariously upon the steep hill.

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Thank you for your review of the Sedona tour you took. Sedona is an amazingly beautiful area, unlike any other area in the U.S. The Red Rocks against the blue sky are breathtaking.
