My wife and I spent the highlight of our vacation yesterday thanks to Jim of Vaughan’s Southwest Tours. It even outshone our much more expensive West Wind aerial + Hummer tour of the Grand Canyon, which we also loved. But Jim took such great care of us on the Sedona Tour that after a full day of sightseeing we were both awed by the magnificent scenery and grateful for having made a new friend. We will remember this experience forever.

Everything about this tour was amazing! You couldn’t possibly find a better tour guide than Jim Vaughan. He created the perfect itinerary for our family to see so many beautiful sites in one day. He knows so much about so many areas we wanted to see, he knows when and where to stop for the best food, what time to get to the grand canyon sites etc. We wouldn’t have seen half of what we did if we went on our own. Definitely the hightlight of our spring break trip!

We had a great day and tour of Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Mike was very knowledgeable and patient with 3 gabby women. It was a great tour and couldn't think of anything that would make it better
