Grand Canyon tour
roncX7394SL, October 2026
We had Tyler as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, and took us to many stops along the Grand Canyon. From the start of the day until we got back he shared a lot of great information with us! This is a great tour to go on.

Quite the Adventure
cnarita7, October 2026
Scenic Sedona Tours offered a 10-hour Grand Canyon adventure that worked perfectly with our schedule, so I booked it. They were very accommodating, answered my questions promptly by email, and were quick to respond. On the day of our tour, we parked in the church lot and walked over to the Dragon’s Den to check in. A group of people was already waiting outside. The gentleman checked us in, and after a few more minutes, we boarded our 14-passenger bus. Avery was our driver and guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared lots of interesting information about the history of Sedona and the Grand Canyon. The drive started out well until the bus began to sputter and lose power. Avery calmly pulled over a couple of times and stayed focused on doing what he needed to do to keep the bus running. He handled the situation without making anyone panic, although I was secretly wondering if we were actually going to make it! Thankfully, we did make it to the Grand Canyon! Unfortunately, I believe the air conditioning stopped working when the bus started having problems, making for a very hot ride to the canyon and for about half the trip back to Sedona. Luckily, it began to rain, and the temperatures cooled down a bit. With the windows open, the ride became much more comfortable. After that adventure, I suspect the bus was ready to be put out to pasture—and probably should have been a long time ago! But through it all, Avery was a great sport, remained professional, and continued sharing plenty of interesting information along the way. Despite the awful bus issues, we enjoyed our experience and appreciated Avery’s efforts to make the best of the situation. I would highly recommend Sedona Scenic Tours for anyone looking to explore the Grand Canyon or take another tour from Sedona!

Great experience. Stu did an excellent job of sharing his extensive knowledge of the Sedona area. When circumstances required he made decisions that kept the tour engaged and inspired.

Grand Canyon 2026 10-9
Robert_S, October 2026
The GC is one of the seven wonders of the world for good reason. Our guide Joe was very knowledgeable about the area and a great host. I wish we would have known about the water issue sooner as all restaurants in the area were closed and toilets were outhouses. We ended up in the back up vans last row. ( cramped, uncomfortable seats for the 4 hours of travel to and from Sedona )
