We had a great time and Shannon was the best tour guide ever!! We packed a lot into one day but it was a great pace. Would recommend to anyone.

Nikki has the best personality and is an awesome tour guide. She made a great soundtrack for the tour and had some awesome pop-culture tie ins that kept me engaged during the drive. She’s also been a tour guide all across the country which is so cool. For the tour itself, you cover a lot of ground so you see a lot. I personally wanted more time at Bell Rock but I liked that we got there before the crowds. You can really choose your own adventure in uptown Sedona. This time, I didn’t choose to do the pink jeep but next time I will!

I feel like our tour guide was matched perfectly with us and meant to be. Shannon was the most we could ask for. Her expertise and advice on when we visited each site was spot on. She kept us in good company for the traffic we might expect. Shannon made our experience much better than we could have imagined. We appreciate her and the detours family. Shannon we love you!

The tour was wonderful. The views were amazing and we have plenty of pictures to add to our travel collection. Thenbest part of the tour was having Shannon as our guide. She was knowledgeable, interesting, concerned about the experience all the passengers were receiving but the best part was the Native American perspective she was able to share. We all agreed that if she were to guide a Native American focused tour we would sign up immediately. Thank you for a fascinating and fun filled day.

Great way to experience the grandness of this area. The small group, seven of us - two couples and three single travelers - in the tour bus with a capacity of 15, was very comfortable. No need to drive or park, and we got to explore individually. Our driver/guide, Robert, was punctual, very knowledgeable, and friendly, and the spots he selected to stop were beautiful, historic, and excellent for photos. Well worth the price.

I am a solo travel and have done many trips and tours alone. This was a special birthday treat for me and it did not disappoint! All of the spots along the way had great views, we beat the traffic every time and Shannon, our tour guide, was amazing! I really appreciate her knowledge of the area and weaving in her own personal stories. She even had the tour group sing happy birthday to me at Airport Mesa. Amazing indeed! This didn’t feel solo-like at all and for that I’m grateful. Thank you.

Fantastic Day Trip! Highly recommend Detours for their communication and updates on scheduling. So enjoyed the Sedona, Red Rock Country and Native American Ruins Day Tour. John D., our guide and driver, was exceptional. Very entertaining as well as knowledgeable. He 'reads' his audience so well and keeps the tour moving at a pace that suits everyone.

We took the Sedona and Montezuma Castle day tour with our driver Michael. He was very knowledgeable about the Arizona geography. We had enough time to have lunch, shop and see the main highlights. We would recommend this tour.

Our group traveled from Phoenix to Sedona with our driver Tracy. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He accommodated all our requests and knew so much about Phoenix, Arizona history, Sedona, and some fun historical facts about our hotel. We had an amazing day and so many memories on this trip to Sedona. I highly recommend this tour. Our group included teenagers, a grandmother of 73 and parents. Would not change a thing!

We took the day trip from Scottsdale with another couple to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our guide Stan was great! He was fun, knowledgeable, answered all our questions about the sights, and gave a great recommendation for lunch. We really appreciated the flexibility of the private tour. I would highly recommend this experience and Stan as a guide.
