I have been exploring Arizona for over 35 years. What I have learned is there is something here for everyone. From archaeology to zoology, and everything in between, there is so much to see. I love mountaineering, canyoneering, caving, hiking as well as finding a nice quiet place to just sit and relax and take it all in. I love to spend time looking for fossils and gemstones and learning about Arizona's past and also being in the present looking for beautiful birds, reptiles and discovering the plethora of life in this unique environment. I am a certified Wilderness First Responder and guide for The National Park and The National Forest. I am also a member of The National Speleological Society and The Arizona Herpetological Society. My real passion is sharing Arizona with people from all over the world. Travelers who have never been here can't imagine all of the mountains, rivers and beautiful forests that are found here in the state. I know that when you leave you will have a greater understanding of all the diversity and splendor that is here and that is what will bring you back again and again. Certified guide for The Grand Canyon National Park and The Tonto National Forest. I am a Wilderness First Responder, CPR and First Aid certified and member of The National Speleological Society. I am also a minister and can perform ceremonies in nature. I have been a professional Tour Guide for over 20 years. No Restrictions.

Overview of your Phoenix tour

We will depart Phoenix/Scottsdale and head north to the beautiful city of Sedona. Sedona is known for it's stunning scenery, quaint shops, native jewelry, unique art galleries and great food and wine opportunities. Sedona is also known for it's positive spiritual energy. After some photo ops and a brief look around, we will head to lunch at my favorite restaurant, The Hudson. Outstanding food and service, incredible setting and views, outdoor seating when appropriate and an excellent wine list. Specializing in salads, sandwiches and award winning burgers. After lunch, a few more breathtaking photos and it's time to head to Arizona's wine country. Yes, Arizona has wineries! Several wineries dot the hills of Northern Arizona. We can try a few or stop and relax under a tree next to a creek at Page Springs Cellars. These vineyards started in 2004 and are now producing some very good wine. Page Springs Cellars creates almost 100% of their energy.

Our company had a conference in Scottsdale and we had a FREE day to explore. Upon looking on the internet I came across "Tours by Locals". I booked the "Scenic Sedona and Winery" with David J. Every time I had a question, David would response promptly. Our group that went on the tour spoke highly of how GREAT David was. If you are ever in the area, look David up and book a tour with him. He was full of knowledge and everyone in our group enjoyed the day spend with him. Thanks David!!!!

We so enjoyed having David as our guide. He was responsive for our requests for time changes, etc. We felt we saw sights that other tourists may not be able to enjoy. He was very, very informative and we would highly recommend him as a guide. Thanks to David for a memorable trip.

We spend a wonderful day with David touring Sedona and tasting wine. David is very knowledgable about the area and was more than willing to offer options and do whatever we requested. We had a lovely lunch in Sedona with marvelous views. I would recommend David for any tours in the Phoenix area.
