The staff were very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. They took such great care of us!!! Thanks to the staff, we were able to truly relax and enjoy the experience. We highly recommend Arizona Scenic Tours!!!!!

          Great, comfortable, personalized tour!
          Jon was a fantastic and accommodating tour guide. The trip from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon and back was smooth, Jon made a great lunch stop recommendation, and the viewpoints of the Grand Canyon were breathtaking. My husband and I were traveling with our 7-year-old son and he was comfortable and content the whole trip. I highly recommend!

          Day trip Phoenix to Upper Antelope Canyon
          Long but Amazing trip from Phoenix to Horseshoe Bend and upper Antelope Canyon. Jonathan our driver was very professional and made us feel comfortable. He was a very experienced driver and tour guide and provided background info also while helping with taking photos. The upper Antelope tour was a small private tour in an air conditioned tour bus rather than the usual open jeep ride to the Canyon. It was not crowded and we did not feel rushed at all. Steve Gerhart arranged for the perfect trip for me and my son. Highly recommend booking with Arizona Scenic Tours - this is my third tour and I’ve never been disappointed.

          Amazing Grand Canyon
          Grand Canyon has always been on my bucket list and this trip was the perfect way to get it done! Rod was a very friendly and informative guide. When we stopped at Cameron Trading Post, he recommended the Navajo Taco. It was delicious, but thank heavens Rod also recommended that my husband and I share one! Cameron Trading Post was a delight. Rod let us take all the time we needed. Then it was on to the Grand Canyon. When we pulled into the scenic view both my friend, Joan, and I exclaimed “Oh wow” There were no words for how amazing it is. Our husbands had no qualms about walking to the edge but we were much more cautious. Rod was wonderful at encouraging us. By the end of the trip we were to the edge, well almost. Rod had the best suggestions for picture spots and he was a great photographer for us. As we were leaving Joan and I tried to get our National Park Passport Books stamped but the office was closed. at the gift store we were told of another place to get the stamp. Rod back tracked to help us get our stamp. On the way back my husband developed a severe cramp and Rod made an unplanned stop for him to walk it off. The sights were amazing and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

          A Great Trip to Tombstone
          We had an amazing trip to Tombstone. Our guide, Darian, picked us up from our motel and shared lots of interesting information as we drove through the country side. On the way to Tombstone we stopped at the San Xavier Mission. It was such a beautiful and peaceful place. Darian graciously volunteered to take a group picture. My husband has always wanted to visit Tombstone and he was not disappointed. Darian dropped us off to explore on our own after giving us information on the places to check out. He must have had an inner radar because whenever we had a question he seemed to appear. On the ride home my husband had trouble with his leg cramping up. Darian found us a spot to take an unplanned break so he could stretch and walk it out. We enjoyed our day and would definitely book with Arizona Seneca tours again.

          Grand Canyon Day Trip
          Fantastic is the only word I can say about Arizona Scenic Tours. From the communication with Steve to our tour guide Darien, our trip to the Grand Canyon was unbelievable. Our tour guide Darien was patient and understanding. As we traveled to the Grand Canyon, Darien provided information about the scenery changes as we continued to change elevations through our drive. It made the four hour plus drive each way pleasant and interesting. Darien continued with his excellent customer service and knowledge as we toured the Grand Canyon. He allowed us our space and time to see each aspect of the Grand Canyon. I would highly recommend this tour.

          Day trip from Phoenix to Grand Canyon
          I would highly recommend this small group tour. Jonathan was an excellent driver and tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable about not only the Grand Canyon but also about Phoenix, the valley and the entire route travelled. The small group (minivan) allowed for pick up and drop off where we were staying, and meant that we did not spend a long time picking up and dropping off people around Phoenix. There was clouds and snow/rain the day we went, and this tour had the flexibility to go to the part of the park where the views might be best, given the weather conditions. We were not disappointed, we saw wonderful views of the Grand Canyon, as well as several types of wildlife. A long day, but well worth it!

          A day of Awe-Inspiring Wonder
          Sometimes it just goes right. We took a day trip to the Grand Canyon with Arizona Scenic Tours. They were easy to work with, accommodating and made our trip a fabulous experience. Now, The Grand Canyon is beyond spectacular BUT We would never have been able to see the vistas we saw and learned as much as we did without a guide. If we had driven, we would have missed so many scenic areas just beyond what most tourists visit and never had the history lesson. Eddie was our guide and a fountain of knowledge and experience. He was easy-going with the ability to help us understand the history of what we were viewing and knew how to give us the maximum time along the South rim. Yes, the day was long, but the ride was comfortable and relaxing. What a great and memorable day Lesa & Tom Shafer Bellevue, WA

          Great views! Driver could use some more experience.
          It was a great experience. The views really can't be captured in photographs. A couple of bits of feedback for our driver, since he was fairly new. Please add some more details to your commentary. It's a long drive and we could use some more stories. Also, it would be helpful at each stop if you told us a time and a SPECIFIC place we were going to meet you, since the van moved after you dropped us off. Finally, please get some strategies from fellow drivers on how to avoid falling asleep at the wheel when driving back to Phoenix. Otherwise, we had a great time at the Grand Canyon. Thanks!

          The best way to experience the Grand Canyon!
          It was SPECTACULAR! Jonathan was amazing! Seeing the Grand Canyon on a private tour is the way to go. Jonathan knew where to go, and how to avoid the crowds. We learned so much from Jonathan that we wouldn't have learned going on our own. We also stopped on the way in Sedona to see the rock formations. It was an absolutely perfect day.

        Our guide, Troy, was exceptional - he was always on-hand to explain the cacti and rock formations etc. He took pictures of us at every viewpoint and was a delight to travel with. At the end of the day we felt we'd just made a new friend.

        Everything from booking the trip to the actual tour was excellent. We were picked up promptly from our hotel in a comfortable Chrysler minivan. Our driver Noel was excellent in providing us with background information throughout the trip. He also allowed us plenty of time at each stop and customized the tour based on our interests and what we wanted to do. We had plenty of time to hike Bell Rock, visit the Chapel of Holy Cross, and eat lunch/shop uptown Sedona. On the way back he made several stops to admire the scenery. Highly recommend this company and this tour for anyone who has an extra day when Phoenix/Scottsdale.

        I wouldn't take this tour. Guide barely spoke and not engaged. Itinerary not as advertised. Montezuma castle not included by Guide. Wine tour was more of a restaurant and scraggly vines. I have been on several tours but this was the worst.

        Thanks very much for taking the time to review. I appreciate the feedback very much, and also appreciate the opportunity to give some good information to potential guests reading your review. Our tours are custom small group tours, that have flexible itineraries. When someone books a tour to Sedona, we contact the guest and ask them how they would like the day to go. The other party on your tour had chosen the itinerary for your tour date, and they had opted not to include Montezuma Castle. When a 2nd group adds to the tour, we contact them to see what their desires are for the day. If they are in agreement with what the initial group chose, then we leave the day as is. If there is something missing, then we add that venue back in, and let the first group know there will be one more stop. In this way, we make every attempt to please all. Unfortunately, you did not respond to our call when we attempted to do your pre-trip confirmation. During your tour, your guide contacted me while on a break inquiring about stopping at Montezuma Castle, because he told me that you said the tour was supposed to go there. I immediately approved the addition, and then tried to reach you to ensure that you were happy with the decision. You ignored the call, and chose not to respond. I was told the rest of the day went fine, and I heard nothing else, so it seemed all was fine. Our tours can be flexible, even once underway, and therefore adding Montezuma Castle was no problem. After the tour, I sent out my usual follow ups. No responses. But instead you chose to only write a review for 2 stars without giving us any opportunity for direct feedback, even when we were agreeable to taking the tour to the Castle. After the review, I tried to reach out to resolve, and still no answer. I am sorry that you chose to have an experience that did not meet your expectations. We did everything that we could to give you that. It seems to me that once the tour "might" not make one stop that you thought it would... you chose to not like the rest. Many people enjoy the vineyards and late August / early September is harvest, so yes... the vines are bare. But the wine still pours! To future guests.... I assure you that this guest experience is not the norm. But please note..... when a tour company that you are booked through reaches out to customize and be flexible.... please respond! Thanks very much.

        We had a lovely time. Early van trouble was fixed. Only concern was driver did not keep hands on the wheel when talking and checked his phone while driving down the highway. Otherwise driver was very knowledgeable and personable. We saw some interesting things and learned a lot about the history. Our traveling companions were terrific too. We recommend this trip.

        We booked this trip because we wanted to be able to enjoy the scenery and let someone else do the driving, but got so much more. Jonathan, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, a good driver--all you could want. We were the only 2 on what could have been a 5-person tour, so we were able to do a few detours and change up the itinerary a bit. In addition to seeing Sedona and its unbelievable red rocks, we drove through vineyards and canyons. We chose to stop at Montezuma's Castle National Monument, an ancient cliff dwelling. Jonathan was very well versed in the history, which added alot to the self-guided tour. All in all, we couldn't have been happier with the tour and recommend it highly.
