      The tour guide Connor is sexist and disrespectful
      I went on this tour with my fiancé and CONNOR was the most SEXIST and UNPROFESSIONAL tour guide I have yet to come across. He indirectly insinuated that I cannot find my way back on a mountain trail due to being female. He also insinuated that I was incapable of owning a home, meanwhile I'm a home owner, as well as the one that paid for his tour. When my partner wrote a review, he removed the review and blocked my partner's account. He later called my fiancé cursing and speaking condescendingly, starting off the convo as "I am calling you to have a man to man conversation. " ending the convo with " why the f*** would we write him a review with poor ratings." He should be embarrassed by his actions as not only a guide, but as an adult. Don't waste your money on this tour.

      Touring the Petrified Forest with Dynamic Journey Tours is a winner!
      Connor far exceeded our expectations on our tours of the one Walnut Canyon National Monument and the Petrified Forest. The hike down into the canyon was simply beautiful, and his knowledge was extensive. The tour through the petrified forest is beautiful in itself, but Connor made everything come to life explaining the various colors and how they were all formed over eons of time. It’s a somewhat long day but well, well worth it and in a very comfortable van. Connor and Dynamic Journey Tours is a winner and you cannot go wrong with this tour!

      Great Tour!
      Conner, the owner of the tour company was very knowledgeable about the petrified forest as well as other facts about Sedona and the Grand Canyon. He also knew the best places to stop for the best views while at the forest. I highly recommend booking a tour with Conner.

      Educational trip to an archeological and geological wonderland
      We had a great day checking out three monuments and parks. My wife and I had driven ourselves there 25 years ago but I wanted to actually enjoy the ride this time, and have the benefit of a guide who could take us to the best stops. Connor was a wonderful guide. It was a long day but Connor was a fountain of information and kept the conversation and information coming. I’m a sponge for information so I probably asked a million questions but Connor was enthusiastic about archeology and geology and history and just kept answering everything. Even my wife, who hates long car rides, felt like it was worthwhile and she had learned a lot and that we saw a lot more than we had on our previous self-guided trip. The trip is well worth anyone’s time, and I have no doubt that we will consider a guided trip to the petrified forest when we inevitably return in 5 years or so.

      Don’t book a big tour go with Connor!
      Wow what an amazing adventure we had. Connor was so knowledgeable, kind and knew all the beautiful spots. A trip of a lifetime! We loved the private car, pick up from our Sedona short term rental and learning so much along the way. If you’re on the fence go with this company they will not disappoint!

      Private Grand Canyon tour with kind, knowledgeable and trustworthy guide
      My mother and I had a fantastic day touring the Grand Canyon with Connor in early May. He picked us up and dropped us off promptly at our Sedona hotel. He was professional, knowledgeable and an easy conversationalist. We learned and explored more than we would have been able to do on our own. It was nice to sit back, relax and take in the views, history and geology without any added pressure or stress. He exhibited clear passion in the subject matter and shared a lot of interesting facts with us, but was never overbearing. A truly great guide and well worth the money (since this is a private tour, you can really maximize your time and tailor the day to your interests). Book early as his schedule fills up - you won't be disappointed!

      Spectacular Grand Canyon Tour
      Connor gave my husband and I a spectacular Grand Canyon experience. He has deep knowledge of the geology and history of the area and provided us with insightful discussion about the local culture and flora. He’s passionate about his work, respectful and a conscientious driver! We highly recommend him and look forward to another tour when we return to Sedona. Doreen & Bill

      A perfect day
      Wonderful day, hosted by Connor, who has a most impressive knowledge base of geology, history and local customs, etc. He was respectful, considerate and always full of detailed facts. We saw unique and unusual land/rock formations. If Connor had not been with us, we would not have observed and marvelled at their beauty. With Connor present, he filled in all the geological and geographical blanks. He was better than Google! We received full value for the day and would highly recommend to anyone wishing to increase their understanding of these unique areas, probably seeing areas that one would miss on their own, all the while in the comfort of a very nice van, without the stress of driving.

      Wide variety of landscapes and scenery covered by a most knowledgeable and passionate guide.
      First and foremost, Connor was a great guide. Booking was easy. When we inquired, Connor promptly returned our email and answered all our questions. Our day was action packed and educational. Connor is well read and knowledgeable of Sedona/Arizona and the geology of many our national parks. Our kids (boys age 11 to 16) really enjoyed listening to him talk about the region and his own experiences. Our day started in Sedona with a drive up Oak Creek Canyon as we traveled to Sunset Crater, then to the Pueblo ruins at Wuptaki, and eventually culminated with the Grand Canyon. We saw cinder cones, ancient volcanic ash and lava fields, the painted desert from distance, several different landscapes and a few feral horses. There was time to get out and explore. Lots of driving but a great distance covered. It was a great experience! Highly recommend for families and adults.

      First time trip to Grand Canyon didn't disappoint!
      We did the Grand Canyon tour from Sedona. Connor was a knowledgeable guide and made the trip so much better than if we had tried to do it on our own. The canyon was breathtaking and since it was just my husband and I, Connor spent extra time taking us down trails for special views. This was a fantastic way to see the Grand Canyon for your first time! Highly recommend!

      Amazing Tour
      Connor is an amazing tour guide!! He took my husband and I on a private tour starting and ending in Sedona. Our first stop was at Walnut Canyon. Connnor explained the history as well as pointed out different types of plants. He made the stop so interesting. Next, we headed East to the town of Holcomb for some authentic Mexican/Navajo food for lunch. He then drove us through the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert. His knowledge of these areas is phenomenal!! Connor made our day worth everything!!! You definitely can’t go wrong booking a tour with him!! We will use him again on our next trip to Sedona!!!

      Best Tour ever!
      Connor is absolutely the most amazing, knowledgeable person I have been fortunate to meet. His company and specifically Connor was recommended to me. Lucky for us. We took his recommendation and went on the Petrified Forest adventure and certainly was not disappointed. We did Walnut Canyon National Park first. What an experience. Then on to lunch at a great little authentic Mexican Restaurant. Navaho Taco is killer. Then onto to Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. This should be on everyone’s bucket list. Truly special. Also Connor is very knowledgeable on area native plants and trees and what uses the Navaho did with these plants. If you commit to this excursion it’s a bargain. In my opinion worth twice or more for what you pay. It’s a long day 11 hours but he makes it fun. Thank you Connor.

    Rose was an amazing guide! She was very knowledgeable and taught us so much about the history and scientific connections that help to explain vortexes and the spiritual draw of Sedona. Rose also has the ability to make each person on the tour feel like it is personalized for them which is a great talent. Thank you Rose! This tour was our best experience in Sedona.

    My group of four returned from our visit to Sedona last week and continue to sing the praises of Conner and our time spent together on our Vortex tour. Before visiting Sedona, I did research and tried to find a tour company that was local and had a good vibe as far is being run by people that I would enjoy touring with. I was very happy to have Conner take us on our Vortex tour. Conner is a great guy and he was happy to share his knowledge of the area and his love of Sedona. I really liked how he explained the power of the Vortexes by sharing information about the scientific phenomenon and geology of the area, the spiritual beliefs of the Hopi people and the religious experiences that many of us share around the world. We visited Vortex sites and I especially enjoyed our visit to Peace park where we had a chance to reflect and meditate a bit at a Buddha stupa and medicine wheel for people of all faiths. It was a powerful experience. We planned this tour just before sunset so Connor used his expertise to take us to the most beautiful sunset spot that we will ever experience, with Cathedral rock in the background. I highly recommend this tour and any tour with Connor will be one that is enjoyed by all. Conner is just a good guy, who is good with people and passionate about sharing his love of Sedona with you. He is also an experienced hiker so willing to share the story of his hikes or lead you on a hike if that is something you are interested in. On this tour as well as on our other 2 tours with Dynamic Journey tours, we overlapped with other tour groups. In my head I told myself how happy I was that we were with Dynamic Tours. From what I overheard on the other tours, I felt that we were receiving a more personal and genuine experience than the other tours were offering. I’m sure many of the other guides are excellent, but most of the other groups that I encountered were ones that I was happy I was not on. Conner and Chad from Dynamic Journey tours will help you get the most out of your tour or help you find another tour group that meets your needs.

    Connor served as our spiritual tour guide, and he truly made the experience unforgettable. His warm and friendly demeanor instantly put everyone at ease, creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout the tour. With an impressive depth of knowledge, he shared fascinating insights and stories that deepened our understanding of the spiritual significance of each site we visited. His ability to connect historical context with personal anecdotes brought the experience to life. We were particularly grateful for his professionalism, as he expertly navigated the group and ensured everyone felt included and engaged. Overall, Connor’s passion for the subject and commitment to sharing it with others left a lasting impression on all of us. The views were amazing.

    Amazing experience! My husband and I booked a private tour with Connor and it was beyond our expectations. The week we were in Sedona the weather was rainy and snowy so many of our excursions were canceled but Connor gave us option of going or refunding. We rescheduled for a day later in the week with a little better weather and Connor customized the tour for us and the weather. He is knowledgeable and was flexible to make sure we got the best experience possible. Best tour ever! We will be booking him in the future when we visit. Thanks for an amazing day!

    Robert was an incredible tour guide. He was extremely knowledgable in both the scientific and spiritual history of the vortexes, surrounding areas, and indiginous people of Sedona. He let us try his dowsing rods and played his flute at one of the stops, which added greatly to the spiritual experience. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Sedona and we highly recommend it.

    Our tour with Chad was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Sedona. It’s clear why private tours are his bread and butter - he tailored the experience to me and my husband and made it so memorable and special. On top of that, Chad was so knowledgeable in the history, culture, geography and geology of the area - we learned so much! We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing our tour with Juniper the Adventure Puppy on his maiden voyage which added an unexpected and much appreciated element of cuteness and cuddles. Chad should raise his prices because I can’t believe we had such a great experience for so little money! Truly cannot recommend this tour enough!!

    So the morning we woke up for this tour it was misting outside. My friend and I had a raincoat so we were good to go. Chad was kind enough to offer to reschedule the tour because of the rain or happily continue. We opted to continue and I'm so glad we did. Chad was very knowledgeable about the general area as well as the vortexes. He kept us entertained, offered plenty of time for questions and very thorough explanations when we had questions. I have to confess going up to Rachel's knoll was my favorite because it snowed. When we first got there it was lightly snowing but by the time we left it was snowing pretty heavily we felt very lucky to have been able to get up there before it got bad. I didn't think I absorbed any energy from the vortex up there but I did feel happy and carefree while we were there. The next day however I was full of energy and could not sleep the next night I wasn't tired at all it was weird and cool at the same time. I highly recommend this tour. Our tour was extremely personalized it was just the two of us and Chad. He was also very knowledgeable about the plants in the area which was definitely an added bonus for me personally.

    Connor, our guide, is very knowledgeable in the spiritual and scientific aspects of the vortexes and the phenomenon of Sedona, itself. He is very friendly and communicates very well. I definitely recommend his tour, the group is small and everyone is interactive with each other. It makes for a pleasant tour experience.

    Bill and I visited Sedona in August. Hands Down! This was the BEST tour we took while out in Sedona! We still talk about it. Robert was our guide and his knowledge and experience of each vortex's and their purpose was so valuable to us. Our favorite Vortex on the tour was the Buddhist Stupa & Peace park. It was here that Robert had us walk the medicine wheel while he played his flute to enhance our journey! If you are looking "not your standard" Vortex Tour then this one is for you. You won't be disappointed!
