About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- walterwE6272YC0 contributionsKim was fantasticOur guide Kim, was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. We had a great time. The tour was fantastic. We saw so much and learned so much. We would do another tour if we get back here.Written October 10, 2024
- 82JJU0 contributionsDerek was a great guideDerek did a great job being our guide. He has an extensive knowledge of the area and was able to provide a ton of commentary on way to Grand Canyon. At Canyon, he took us to various look out spots to avoid the crowds as best as we could. He has great photography skills to help get the perfect pictures. Sedona was a good final stop at the end of the day to see sunlight lighting up the red rocks.Written October 3, 2024
- S S0 contributionsGreat guide!Our guide Huan was great! The van was full, and there's not much leg room, so it wasn't a very comfortable ride. (and I'm only 5 feet tall!) I think there should be just as much time at Sedona as the Grand Canyon.Written September 27, 2024
- Cameron H0 contributionsAn incredible day outThis experience was absolutely incredible and one I'll cherish forever. Along the way to Grand Canyon went through Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona. There were tons of brilliant picture opportunities along the way as everywhere was so scenic. We got to the Grand Canyon and the first time we walked up to look out was a massive wow moment. Just couldn't believe what we were seeing. It just didn't look real at how massive a space and incredible it was. We had a generous amount of time to look around and explore taking it all in. On the way back we stopped off briefly along the famous Route 66 to look around which was an added bonus. In total we were out for over 12 hours and covered just over 500 miles. Special shout out to Frank, who led our tour for the day. He was so knowledgeable and full of facts. He was always going the extra mile including teaching us photography skills back from his days of working in the film industry where we stopped along the way in Oak Creek Canyon for panoramic picture lessons and he took some brilliant pics of my wife and I at Grand Canyon. Overall this was an amazing experience and would highly recommend people to book this tour.Written September 27, 2024

- nicolerN2593ST0 contributionsamazing and worth the money.Kim is an AMAZING guide. i was hesitant to book but now i feel the money was so so well invested, she definitely understands the value of your money and will take you so many places, tell you all the stories, give recommendations, take care of you, take your pictures. She’s an amazing soul, ask for her to be your guide you will not be disappointed. Great option specially if you’re traveling solo, you will be able to see more than you’d see if you were driving by yourself.Written September 16, 2024

A very good tour, it was exactly as advertised. We saw everything that we wanted to and there was plenty of space in the van. Mary was an excellent guide and very informative. I would recommend this as a ghost way to see Sedona versus driving yourself.

Fabulous! A great introduction to 3 great places. Our tour guide was very informative and friendly. She went out of her way to be helpful.Gave us the history of each of the places we visited and a lot of AZ history along the drive. Kim definitely enjoys her job! The only thing I would change is to have more time, especially in Sedona and Jerome.

We were picked up at our hotel by John our driver/guide. The tour was wonderful. The sights were awesome. John was very knowledgeable of the area and of the plants and animals inhabiting it. This tour was a great way to see the area at a very reasonable cost.

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to the Phoenix area. This tour was a nice combination of scheduled stops and free time. This is an excellent way to see Sedona, Jerome and Montezuma Castle - leave the driving to the experts who do this drive multiple times every week. This would not be an easy drive for anyone unfamiliar with the area and the driver would not be able to fully enjoy the views. This tour was completed using a small van that was very comfortable. Using a small van rather than a large bus meant that we had a smaller group of tourists with us and also meant that the van could park closer to some of the locations than a larger tour bus ever could (very helpful at the Chapel of the Holy Cross especially). We had 30 minutes at Montezuma Castle which was the right amount of time needed. We had 30 minutes again at the Chapel of the Holy Cross (again, enough time). We then had about 2 hours in the downtown Sedona area (this included our lunchtime, so was sufficient amount of time). In Jerome, we had 45 minutes (would have liked a full hour to fully enjoy the view and the cute shops). We spent some time at Nellie Bly looking at all of the wonderful kaleidoscopes. Given that I collect kaleidoscopes, this store was an amazing discovery. Even if you aren't usually that interested in kaleidoscopes, this place is worth a visit. On the way back to Phoenix, we stopped at a rest stop for a "comfort break" and this place had great views of the mountains. It was a bit rainy during our tour date, but this made for even better photo opportunities (the clouds were phenomenal and we even managed a photo or two with a rainbow in it). Our tour guide was knowledgeable and a very good driver even if she wasn't that focused on engaging the group (I have no idea who my fellow passengers were because there were never any introductions made or effort to connect people). When I phoned Across Arizona Tours, they were very helpful and friendly on the telephone. They were very responsive to my questions and they followed through on phoning me back with details of the pick-up time when they said they would phone me. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel which was fantastic! This made for a stress-free trip! They were on time for our pick-up and drop-off. The price of this tour was very reasonable considering what is included. It's also the only 1-day tour that includes all of these spots. I would highly recommend this tour!

This was one of the best tours I have ever been on! Zane was our tour guide and he was the best! He was super knowledgeable about everything! He was kind and extremely welcoming. He gave us plenty of time to take pictures and took us to all the key sights.
When booking the reservation Carol was great too! We requested to be picked up at our timeshare which they accommodated.
I would recommend this tour and we learned alot.
Thank you again Zane!

Eric- our tour guide, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us information not only on the beautiful history of the castle, Sedona, and Jerome; but interesting facts about the flora and fauna throughout the trip.

The tour was fun and informative. It was really nice to have a guide drive us as opposed to trekking ourselves, especially the curvy drive from Jerome. However, I would have liked to spend a little more time in each place.

Thank you for taking the time to review the Sedona tour you took with Across Arizona Tours. Sedona is a breathtaking area, with its kaleidoscope of colors. One could spend several days there taking in all the beauty. Fortunately, you had a chance to experience the amazing Red Rocks!

Can this trip accommodate a disabled person who will bring either a small scooter or wheelchair?
Written February 16, 2019
I would check with the company. The attractions we visited were accessible, but not sure a wheelchair or scooter would have fit in the van we were in. They probably have transportation that would work.
