Sedona changes with the season: spring and fall bring mild days that suit trails and open Jeeps, July and August add afternoon monsoon storms, and winter occasionally dusts the red rocks with snow. The 6 tours below run from $63 to $230.
Top-Rated Sedona Arizona Tours & Experiences
Verde Canyon Railroad Adventure
The railroad runs from Clarkdale through Verde Canyon, a green riparian corridor that contrasts with Sedona’s red rock. It runs for several hours and suits relaxed travelers. Check the departure time and season, because schedules change.
Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Tour
This is a long day trip from Sedona to Page for Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, and the drive is a substantial part of it. Antelope Canyon visits are guided by Navajo operators. Check pickup time, drive time and what entry fees are covered.
Sedona Red Rock Range Jeep Tour
The Jeep tour takes you onto rugged trails across the red rock country, ideal for travelers who want rough terrain without driving it. Expect bumps, dust and a possible stop at a viewpoint. Hold on and wear closed shoes.
EZRider Sedona Self Guided E Bike Tour
A self-guided e-bike tour lets you ride the trails and roads around the red rocks at your own pace. E-bikes ease the climbs, but the Sedona sun is strong, so carry water and start early in summer.
As with most in-demand destinations, the best tours in Sedona Arizona tend to sell out first, so booking a few days ahead is generally a good idea.
Why These Sedona Tours Stand Out
Sedona’s scenery is dramatic, but the best viewpoints are scattered, and trailhead parking is limited. Tours compress the options into a half day. The 6 priced tours here carry 12,311 reviews averaging 4.8 stars, a large sample for any destination.
Verde Canyon Railroad Adventure Package is the most reviewed, with 3,298 reviews at 4.6 stars, while Sedona’s ONLY Guided ATV Tour has the best rating, 5 from 1,865 reviews.
Timing Your Sedona Trip
March through May and September through November are the sweet spots, with warm days and cool nights. Summer highs often reach the 90s Fahrenheit, with monsoon storms from July into early September. Winter is cooler, with cold nights, occasional snow on the rocks and fewer crowds. Sunsets from Airport Mesa are popular year-round. Shoulder months also make open-air Jeep and e-bike rides far more comfortable than midsummer.
Best Area to Base Yourself in Sedona
Uptown puts you near shops and tour offices, West Sedona is more local and often cheaper, and the Village of Oak Creek is quieter and near Bell Rock. Phoenix is about two hours away by road, and Flagstaff is roughly 45 minutes north. Highway 179 and 89A both back up at busy times. If you plan to hike as well, book the tour for the day you arrive and save trail time for early morning, when lots are emptier.
