Great Venture Tours - Sedona, Arizona

My family took the guided Grand Canyon tour with Steve and the guided Antelope Canyon (included Horseshoe Bend and a native guide at Antelope as well) tour with Jeff, and both tours were great. Steve and Jeff took/facilitated great photos. The guides were both knowledgeable and helped us have a great day of sight seeing and safely drove us to and from our hotels. We met other friendly families in the vans, which were comfortable. We were able to spend time in a native store where we got souvenirs as well. I highly recommend this tour company for a great Grand Canyon or Antelope Canyon Adventure!

Mark Friedman our tour guide with Great Venture Tours was amazing!! He made my friend's birthday which was today, 2/1 great by being informative, funny and interactive. Our 2 hour van tour included bottled water (you are welcome to bring other drinks) with stops at Chapel of the Holy Cross, Oak Creek Canyon & Airport Outlook. I throughly enjoyed it so I gave a cash tip! Please bring cash as tip because not all tour guides have apps like Zelle or Venmo. I'm glad I did because Mark was more old school and didn't have those apps.

Stanton was a great guide! He was knowledgeable, funny, and very kind. We did the Antelope Canyon tour that included Horseshoe Bend and Glen Canyon Dam and it was so much fun! I loved that we were offered water, snacks, and our price included a light lunch at Gone West in Page, AZ. Leland was our Navajo guide in Antelope Canyon and he helped capture beautiful photos for us!

We also joined a second tour, South Rim Grand Canyon and our guide, Brian, was the coolest person I've ever met. He shared some stories about growing up on the reservation, some lovely anecdotes, and he was so hilarious and kind! We made a bunch of stops along the south rim and the Grand Canyon literally took my breath away.

Both trips included stops at Cameron Trading Post so it was fun to window shop during the first tour and then actually buying things during the next tour 😊 Don't forget to get some Navajo fry bread. Yum.

I felt very safe and felt my personal items were safe during both tours. I would highly recommend Great Venture Tours!

Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend from Sedona. Our tour of Antelope Canyon with Sheldon was nothing short of fantastic. His informative and passionate guiding transformed a beautiful location into a deeply enriching experience. He is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. He was so attentive throughout. Thank you Sheldon for helping create a lifelong memory. If you’re planning a trip to Antelope Canyon, I highly recommend requesting Sheldon as your guide. He is simply fabulous!

We signed up for the hiking tour of the Grand Canyon and went last Sunday. Karen and I had a ‘private tour’ as no one else signed up. Sheldon picked us up at The Pines early in the morning and we were on our way. He truly wanted to make this experience the best it could be for us. Sheldon was so knowledgeable about the many areas we passed through on our journey, including our destination. We had a phenomenal day of hiking to Ooh Ahh Point and back. We saw a family of Big Horn Sheep right on the trail with us AND a family of Elk enjoying greenery along the parking lot. Sheldon was a fantastic guide and he made our experience so memorable!!

Tour guide Mark Friedman gave us an over the top experience on our tour of the Grand Canyon. We stopped at multiple places along the way including a lava field park which was incredible in itself. Another stop was an ancient Pueblo museum and lunch (provided by Great Venture) at an Indian reservation. A way over the top experience! Would be a must for anyone traveling in the area. Way more to say but it’s a review

My wife and I have traveled all over the world. For many of the trips private guides were hired to take us around countries. We have had phenomenal experiences, and, after spending several weeks with each guide have become friends. In fact, we have used them multiple times. Although we were with Charlie for one day on a trip to the Grand Canyon, we had a wonderful experience that was enhanced by the deep knowledge he had of this area and canyon. We enjoy his commentary as we see spectacular natural or man made structures. Charlie ranks with any of the excellent guides we’ve had in other countries. We are also older and he was sensitive to our mobility and other needs. You’ll enjoy your time with him.

Our trip to the Grand Canyon by van and train was amazing! Especially because of our very knowledgeable and personable guide, Andrea Corral. So friendly and helpful. If we come back with family I will ask for her again! It was the highlight of our vacation!
