Sedona and Jerome

Great tour with easy to use apt. We loved it.

Great trip

App was easy to use. We started on the south end and toured counter clockwise. Traffic was heavy northbound in Sedona but manageable. It took us about 11 hours to complete the trip but that included several short hikes. We saw almost everything. Would definitely recommend.

We love Shaka Guide!

The Shaka Guide app made exploring Kauai so easy and fun! The GPS-triggered audio gave us directions, history, and local tips right as we needed them — like having a friendly tour guide in the car. We discovered hidden gems and great food spots we would’ve missed otherwise. We have used Shaka in Kauai, Maui, Hawaii and Sedona and Vegas! If you like driving around and finding adventures this app is absolutely worth it! 🌺

Best Money I Spent On My Vacation!

Everywhere I travel to I am going to get a tour of the landscape, to get some familiarity of the history and while doing so get an idea of the geography and roads etc. I typically do a trolley tour or a hop on/off tour and I come to trip advisor to search for one. Well here in Sedona AZ I stumbled across this guided driving tour, because although an open air trolley sounds fun, something I typically find on trip advisor, we wanted to stay in air conditioning and do it ourselves, from our own car. Well……we were so pleasantly surprised…..so much fun, so entertaining, and spot on turn by turn directions with wonderful heads up notification prior to turns…..with landscapes even to help!! It follows your phone gps and builds in narration based on where you are! It’s great, I highly recommend!!! Worth every penny and more!!

We used Shaka guide in Hawaii and in Sedona a few years ago and it was fantastic. I have to say the same now. Well worth the money. Will use it again in the future

SO MUCH FUN! We did the Sedona guided tour. Worked perfectly and had an amazing time. It's pretty funny, too!

A Must for Sedona

This was possibly the best money I’ve spent on a trip maybe ever. And it was less than a breakfast. I hate group tours, bad tour guides, and always try to do it myself. This was the best of both worlds. We drove the entire way, enjoyed the narration and the music. Just start early. We started at 9. Didn’t hit every stop but hit most of them. Made notes on where we want to go back and hike a little more. Thank you. And well done.

A recent drive thru Sedona was just amazing. I did no research, just wanted some nice views as I drive thru. I love the history lessons too.
