Ride the Verde Canyon Railroad from Clarkdale for 3.5 hours of Verde River views, cliff dwellings, train-side lunch, toast, and appetizers.

“The staff on the train were very friendly and knowledgeable. The lunch was delicious and the champagne and snacks on the train were fresh and plentiful! No need to bring anything with you. The train ride provided visual delights and good information about the history of the area, geological and human. We saw deer, eagles, and osprey. Some people saw a bear. It was a very enjoyable trip. (A side suggestion-go see the Copper Museum in town too. Totally unexpected gem!)”

I also asked if you could assign one ATV to my wife and I and you advised NO we cannot do that, however, when we got there, we asked and she was able to ride with me however, because we booked through you, we could not receive any refund. I recommend that any one call the company (Arizona ATV) and book directly.”

A 2-hour, shaded open-air bus tour of Sedona’s top red rock sights with live narration, plus a stop at Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park.

“This was a great little tour! Our guide was Ray and he was knowledgeable, personable, caring and friendly. He knew some great facts about the different sites we were taken to. We were given time for photos and exploring. He went into some details at the Peace Park that could be viewed as controversial. It would have been better for him to stick to facts instead of stating beliefs. This tour was worthwhile, easy to participate in and didn't take any skill level. We got to see Sedona on a beautiful day and bring driven strings by Ray was peaceful, entertaining and fun!”

Rugged 2.5-hour Jeep tour from Sedona to the Mogollon Rim. Learn geology, visit Snoopy Rock, and get big views with a pro guide.

“Robert (our Jeep guide & driver) was great and the views were amazing. Booking through Viator was not, as there was a two person minimum. Safari Tours offered me a complimentary ticket, but I am traveling solo and left the next day. To be fair, I did agree to pay double for the experience, but it's a lousy way to do business. 5☆ for Safari / 1☆ for Viator.”
