We contacted Steve a couple of weeks before our desired weekend via email. He was always quick to get back to us and thorough in his communication. We booked a Saturday Grand Canyon via Sedona tour. He picked us up in his caravan that morning around 0750. He was very polite, very professional, van was clean and in good shape so no worries there. There were three other women in the van but we had plenty of room. We hit the road up to Sedona. As locals (Phx) we were familiar with the drive but Steve's expertise made us feel like tourists! He is so knowledgeable about the surrounding geography, knows geological history and has great info on the desert vegetation. It gave us a totally new perspective on things we'd seen a million times, like a traveling classroom. He encourages discussion and answers questions. Very articulate and educational. He was also willing to stop whenever necessary for bathroom breaks which my pregnant wife appreciated. Steve supplied water and soft drinks in a cooler, food and snacks are largely up to you. We saw the church in Sedona, walked around the shops and ate lunch solo. Then headed up to the Canyon. Steve's knowledge of the Canyon was amazing as well. It is one thing to view this magnificent area and yet another to have someone there that understands its formation. Steve added such a nice dynamic by explaining how different levels of the canyon formed along with the different types of rock and sediment, the history of exploration, etc. We were there for a couple of hours then headed back to Phx. He was a very safe driver and we felt comfortable and secure the entire voyage. Would highly recommend taking one of Steve's many tours and we hope to visit other areas of AZ that he frequents in the future.
