Interesting places and fantastic nature! Kim was our guide and she went out of her way to make sure we had a good experience. She talked all the time about everything possible, I would have liked more guidance and information than talk about other things. It was also not really possible to ask questions in the minibus we traveled in. I would have liked to have more time in Jerome in particular, but we had different wishes in the bus - it would have been good if there were fewer than ten of us so we could have had more time adapted to each individual.

Great experience. Kim was guide during the trip. She was thoughtful, she was taking care of everyone's need. She shared with us lots of great stories. And she took many excellent photos I wish we could spend more time in Sedona. It's such a pretty and cute place. Worth seeing ❤ Bus was comfortable especially that it was not full (10/13). This experience is perfect for couples but also solo-travelers (like me)

I enjoyed listening to Kim pointing out things to see on the way. Every stop she had history to point out and helped us with pictures.

The guide was on time, kind, hilarious, informative, took awesome pictures, and made sure we were all safe. Loved the trip ❤️

Kim was amazing and very knowledeage. She went out of her way to make sure we were all okay through out the trip. 5 Stars
