Keith was amazing and we had a wonderful time learning about Sedona! The stops were great choices and his recommendations for lunch and activities were extremely helpful!

Informational tour

Published on Nov, 2024

This is a great tour to go on when you first get to town, we unfortunately went at the end of our trip, so didn’t have time to go to the restaurants. We did love the stops of where a vertex is and up to the airport was wonderful and of course the church was amazing.

The perfect tour to begin your stay in Sedona! Book today!

This was our first time in Sedona and we were eager to take couple tours to learn as much about the area as we could. While on Viator, I stumbled upon this tour - The Best Private Vortex and City Tour of Sedona. It spoke to me as it offered a broad perspective of Sedona for a very fair price. Our tour guide, Keith, picked us up at our complex in a very lovely and air conditioned tour van and off we went to pick up the other guests. This 2.5+ hour tour included stops at sights we wanted to see including The Sedona Airport Scenic Overlook and Vortex and The Chapel at Holy Cross - not just a drive by folks - an actual stop where we could get out and spend time. We also visited Oak Creek Canyon, where Navajo and Hopi sell crafts and jewelry. The very thorough and informative tour also toured through the different areas of Sedona and Keith, our tour guide, gave terrific suggestions regarding dining. This tour is THE PERFECT WAY to begin your stay in Sedona. Keith is very knowledgeable of the area. This is a real value in my opinion - don't hesitate to take this tour!
