Review Summary
Customers generally say this tour offers an excellent full-day experience with a perfect blend of Sedona's red rocks, Oak Creek Canyon's scenic beauty, and multiple Grand Canyon viewpoints—all in an intimate small-group setting that feels personal rather than touristy. Many travelers praise the knowledgeable guides, the spiritual vortex experience at Chapel of the Holy Cross, and the authentic Arizona sunset on the return drive. The main drawbacks mentioned include the long driving time (approximately 14+ hours total), lack of clarity about meal inclusions, and the fact that the tour doesn't end at sunset at the canyon itself, which some visitors expected.
