A must do on the Verde - Caleb was the most professional guide I have met. I highly recommend his services and this wonderful trip down the Verde river. He grew up playing on its banks and knows all its nooks and crannies.

Lots of Fun - We had a great time, relaxing, fun, and peaceful. Caleb is awesome. He is so professional. He contacted us before to make sure we had all the details. He is a great guide. We highly recommend taking this private guided kayak tour.

Private Tours are the way to go!! - Our guide was amazing!!! He made the experience next level. Having a smaller group (just my son and I) special and getting to make those memories is something we will never forget. I would recommend it to anyone who’s asks!

Would recommend to a friend. - I was with my husband and 16 year old daughter and we all had a great time. Caleb grew up on the river and knows it very well. It was record temperatures in Sedona when we went but the water was cool and the shade from the trees made a big difference. I am not what anyone would consider athletic and it was an easy paddle down river for me. One thing to note, the place where you park your car is not a business with a parking lot. It looks more residential so we were afraid we were in the wrong place at first. Just a heads up.

Private Delight! - It was pure bliss having a private tour down the Verde River. Caleb was an excellent guide who directed us where to go for the easiest ride. There were some small rapids and waterfowl which made it interesting.

The kayak trip that never happened - We were really looking forward to this, unfortunately it didn’t happen. We arrived at a private residence the morning of only to find that no one was there to meet us. After many failed attempts to reach the tour guides via the text option through the Viator app, I found a page that had a phone number. When I called the guy (who never identified himself) sounded confused - said “Aw man didn’t you cancel yesterday?” No. We did not. We still had an active trip through Viator. He claimed we emailed him the day before canceling. He said he and his friend were at the lake and couldn’t be there. He claimed it must have been an issue with Viator. The trip remained active until an hour later when I received notification that the host cancelled the trip. Thankfully I was fully reimbursed. I would not recommend booking with this group until they improve their communication with customers.
