Private Gambler Trail: Rugged 4x4 Hummer Tour in Sedona

Posted By : Steven_B
Organ-shaking experience on the adventure tour in one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited in this country. It was like riding around in the bottom of the Grand Canyon! Our driver, Piper, was a native Arizonan and provided so much great information and humor during the ride! Will never forget it :)

This is a fantastic way to see Sedona sights. We took the Gambler Tour, and much to our surprise, we were the only two booked, as it was off-season. We were lucky enough to have Roy as our tour guide. He was enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgable, and funny. Before choosing Sedona Offroad Adventures, we researched tons of jeep tours, struggling to make a choice. This was exactly what we were looking for because it was a bumpy, offroad ride that was adventurous enough to have us bouncing around and laughing at the drops and turns, but also allowed us to see important Sedona attractions. We were also looking for seats that faced forward rather than inward, which is how many of the jeep tours are set-up. We didn't want to hold a railing the entire time and have to turn and angle ourselves to see the views, so this was perfect! The first 15-20 minutes of the ride is on paved road, where you will see huge houses, many of which belong to celebrities. Roy also pointed out many of the famous mountains and canyons in the distance. The skyline view was breathtaking. Then, we went offroad for a ride full of bumps and jolts (not too much to get anyone sick, but enough to be thrilling!) Even during this part of the tour, Roy told us many facts about Sedona, the jeep itself, and gave his own personal anecdotes about the land (from his favorite restaurants to types to cacti to how Sedona got its name). On the ride back, we saw the McDonald's (the only one without a yellow M logo), so it's safe the say the sights were many. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits, and we feel so lucky to have been paired with Roy!

We had such a great time. We had a trip planned for a Saturday. We received a call that due to the rain it would be to muddy and had move to Sunday. The only problem for us was we had no doggy daycare for our German Shepard on Sunday. But...not a problem, they let us bring her. Let’s just say she survived it. We loved it! Our guide, Joshua was fantastic! Very experienced with off roading. (We think he even liked our dog). He was a wealth of knowledge about the area and the sport.
We chose this tour because we wanted to be forward facing which your are in the hummers. Joshua chose the trail that wouldn’t be extreme because of our dog. It was plenty bumpy which was what we wanted, just a little easier on our dog. Splashing through the mud puddles was great! There was snow the higher up we went. It was cold but we were properly dressed.
We highly recommend this company. Their customer service is excellent. Easy to speak with someone and easy to book. Definitely a 5 star experience!
