Dave was a volcano of information!! From first to last hand shake he held forth with voluminous amounts of information, all presented with a humorous slant. His last gift to us was a visit to THE spot for sunsets just west of Sedona. Well done!

Our tour guide was great. Very knowledgeable about Jerome and the surrounding areas. We had a small group which was great. Being hard if hearing this made it easier having limited people.
