    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    My wife and I took a total of 3 full day private tours with Conner during our trip to Sedona during the Fall 2022, and we had an absolutely fabulous time and wonderful experience! As a tour guide, Conner was extremely knowledgeable about all the areas we visited and took the time to explain the history and geology of the various sites. We found Conner to be very friendly and engaging and quite accommodating to our special requests. He was punctual and responded promptly to texts and emails. He is an excellent driver as well as tour guide, so all we were able to just relax and enjoy the scenery. Our first tour was to the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. Per our request, Conner took us to see Meteor Crater and Barringer Space Museum in lieu of Walnut Canyon. The Crater was impressively huge and the Museum was fun to visit. After a nice lunch at a 1950's themed diner on Route 66, we arrived at the Petrified Forest area to marvel at huge mineralized logs. Next, we arrived at the highlight of the tour which was the Painted Desert area. Walking among the multicolored rock formations felt like visiting another planet. In addition to the Ultimate Petrified Forest/Painted Desert Adventure, we also took the full day Ultimate Grand Canyon Tour and a specialized arranged full day trip to Monument Valley with Conner. These 2 tours were equally as entertaining and enjoyable. If you have not had the chance to have a private tour before, I would strongly recommend taking one of Conner's Dynamic Journey Tours. You will not be disappointed.
