What a perfect day! Jason and Phil came to pick us up at our Air BnB at the assigned time. We drove a short while to the start point and then we received backpacks, poles, water, and snacks for the day. Jason led us on a 6 mile traverse hike. Jason was amazing. He shared his knowledge of the area, and pointed out plants and wildlife along the way. He knew every lookout and picture opportunity and used our camera to take some fantastic group pictures. He also airdropped us pictures he took along the way as well. Having the hiking gear provided was great as we had traveled in the night before and could not bring everything with us. We tried poles for the first time and are hooked. We stopped for a snack about midway and were pleasantly surprised. There was something for everyone! The bento box was delicious as well as the packaged snacks. We found some new favorites! At the end of the hike we were offered some cold beverages and took a few more pictures with the scenic red rocks. We learned so much about the area and also learned what is needed on long hikes. Jason was a great storyteller and made the hike so enjoyable. We would use this company again and highly recommend. read more

Incredible hiking trip! Our original guide was sick day-of so the owner did our tour and we had an incredible time. He had anything we could have possibly needed (hand warmers, mittens, water, snacks, etc.). We found that the trails in Sedona aren't super well marked, so highly recommend booking with Trail Lovers. read more

Our hiking tour today was absolutely top-notch. We signed up for a custom tour, and, after talking to our guide, he helped lightly revise the itinerary based on our wishes for the trip. He was both extremely professional and very personable, with a deep knowledge about the area, plants and wildlife. He also did an excellent job anticipating our needs - and was a fabulous photographer, to boot! We've hiked the area on a few previous trips, but having thoughtful guidance still *elevated* the experience considerably. Finally, we originally found the tour when seeking a guided hike that was dog-friendly, and this perfectly fit the bill - our pup enjoyed as much as we did. We highly recommend Trail Lovers for both those new to the area and returning visitors who want to explore and understand a little more. read more

We found TL via a google search. So glad we booked with them! We had only one night in Sedona and wanted to make the most of it. We alrdy had a booking for the daytime, so I hoped we could find an evening hike with a local guide for me, my wife, and our two kids (11 and 7 yr old). We sent an email from a link on their website. They replied within an hour and confirmed availability fitting out travel dates. We spoke by phone, confirmed details. Manager emailed a link so that I could send online payment. They picked us up from our hotel. Had a nice van stocked with gear, snacks, cold drinks. Had an AMAZING night hike with Derek: moderate level hike, very scenic,. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and well prepared. Highly recommended! read more

Great experience and hike with Phil! We were in Sedona for the weekend and booked Trail Lovers for my husband and I. Phil was great, super friendly, knowledgeable, and well prepared. He had everything we needed and little extra things (such as a blanket for us to sit and enjoy our snacks) and a fun celebratory drink at the end. I highly recommend them and would absolutely use them again! read more

Trail Lovers is the best way to experience the beauty that is Sedona. I have utilized their services multiple times on multiple visits. They are always willing to challenge you or accommodate to what ever your needs/desires are. They are super experienced, knowledgeable and kind. Just the best!! read more

We booked a Moonlight Hike with Trail Lovers and we were very fortunate to get Jason as our guide. From beginning to the end, Trail Lovers was very professional and gave us a memorable experience. Our goal was to see the stars under the Sedona skies, Jason brought us on a trail that led us to a mesa, a flat top to watch the stars and see the Milky Way. We felt very safe throughout the experience as we were provided head lamps and Jason even brought extra winter gear if needed. Jason was super knowledgeable about the vegetation and the history of the area. Thank you for a great experience! read more

Cannot say enough about our fantastic experience w Trail Lovers. From working w Jason to plan the perfect hikes, to the personalized service of being picked up and dropped off at our rental, to the expertise and kindness of our guide Zach. It was truly beyond a 5 star experience for our small group! We did 2 different hikes w Zach and each one offered amazing views, insights into the area, history, and nature of Sedona. Zach tailored each hike to suit our varied physical abilities, so that every one of us thoroughly enjoyed each hike. Regardless of the amount of time you have in Sedona, Trail Lovers should be the top of your list for activities! read more

I had a great time on my biking tour here in the red rocks with Phil from Trail Lovers. Phil was very thorough and patient with me since it had been a very long time since I'd been on a bike. He brought water, snacks, and safety gear for me to ensure that I would have all the tools I needed for success. We then went over all of the safety aspects and components of the bike before we left the parking lot so that I could get comfortable. After we left the parking lot, we went on a fun trail where Phil was able to share tricks and technique with me in a way that made sense and was easy-ish for me to implement. Not only is Phil a great teacher, he's a really kewl dude. I had soooo much fun! Thank you Phil and Trail Lovers for providing a safe and exciting experience for those of us who are new to biking. I highly recommend. read more

Did two fabulous guided hikes with the owner Jason, over two days. We are from So Cal and first time visiting Sedona. The hikes were totally out of the box and out of the ordinary. Jason is a local with fabulous tails about Sedona's history, trail history and area naming history. If you want to go on a fantastic private guided hike with " best friend" type guide than Trail Lovers is your best bet. They provided anything you needed and Sherpa like carried everything in their pack included water, energy snacks and fresh fruit. read more

Exploring sacred places with such an enlightened guide was truly a magical experience and the highlight of our visit to Sedona! We did a 3 hour private guided tour with Jason and were impressed with both the spectacular scenery and his extreme knowledge of Native American history, less traveled trails, and local folklore. Jason went out of his way to ensure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the hike with high-quality snacks - a generous supply of water, bug spray, walking sticks, and more. Every step of the way - from the online booking to the detailed confirmation message he left on my phone outlining what to expect - to the at-your-door pickup and drop off from our AirBNB, Trail Lovers is one of the most professional companies we have dealt with in Sedona! read more

Our guide Dennis was awesome! We really enjoyed the education and experience he gave us. Couldn't recommend more...10 Stars!

My 11 year old daughter and I did two MTB excursions. We LOVED both of them. The first was with Phil and was a great introduction to riding in Sedona. The second ride was a night ride with Joanna, and was exhilarating. They were both friendly, enthusiastic and inspiring guides. We couldn't have had a better experience. read more

Our tour guide Zach was amazing. He was knowledgeable about the area. He educated us about the terrain, the flora and the fauna. He respected our dietary needs. He served a lunch that was delicious. He made sure that we got out safely. And he was a great host to spend an afternoon with. Can't say enough about Zack. Also it was a pleasure dealing with Jason. He answered every question we had and made sure that we had a tremendous experience. read more

Love this company! I did a solo hike with Josh. He was so polite, very knowledgeable, and so patient with me every time I wanted him to take my pictures lol. I spoke to the owner beforehand and he made sure I was well informed before the hike. It's so worth your money to go with guys like them. They are experts in their field and have tremendous amount of experience in the Sedona area, hiking, nature / plants, trails...everything! :) read more

Can't say enough about the wonderful experience I had with Jason! From the moment I called on the phone to plan my trip, I could tell that it was going to be smooth sailing. He talked me through different options for my hike given my relatively recent knee surgery and made me feel comfortable that I could do it safely. The hike itself was perfect, he picked the most amazing time of day and I was able to witness an incredible sunset in Sedona. He also gave me some super helpful recommendations for food and other things to do. Highly recommend and I can't wait to get back! read more

I had an amazing time with our tour guide Connor. He was so sweet and you can really tell he loves his job and what he does. He is so passionate and made sure we were all good the whole time. read more

Ask for Zach, do the night tour to see the stars. He knows the plants, the ecology, the history, he's an *amazing* landscape photographer. And he's entertaining. Absolutely fabulous, will ask for him again when I'm next in Sedona. read more

Short version: If you haven't done a hike with Trail Lovers while in Sedona, you've truly missed out. Long version (because it really was that good): Spoke with the owner Jason on the phone since we were dragging the kids (11, 13) with us. He immediately knew where to take us and within minutes we were booked for an 8am hike despite half of us not being morning people. *Best decision ever!* The hike was quiet and beautiful, and Jason was able to share so much information on the flora, the landscape, the politics of the area, and even a little background of how he came to do this (us entrepreneurs always enjoy those stories!). Our resting point was perfect and he laid out the prettiest and healthiest picnic of snacks where there was something for everyone - and my celiac daughter was taken care of! The hike definitely hit the #1 thing to do on our list of favorites on this trip. Snoopy and Lucy were on show and we found Donald Trump too! We enjoyed the hike and company so much, that when our flight got cancelled we immediately booked another hike for us adults and this time agreed to the 7am suggestion. Again, best decision ever! The views were breathtaking and he knew my husband really wanted to fly his drone and take pictures so he made sure the area was not a no-fly zone. They really take the time to listen to what you want and cater to you, and they come prepared with everything. If they suggest an early morning hike, just do it - we were the only ones at the start of our trail and on our return the parking lot was swamped! Not once did we feel like we were being rushed and we were all very comfortable with the trail and effort. I'd recommend them over and over! read more

100% Recommend Mountain Bike Lessons with Joanna!! In addition to being incredibly skilled herself, Joanna has a knack for breaking down skills in a way that makes sense AND making you feel successful and supported throughout the lesson. We rode rad trails, laughed, I learned a ton and saw improvement in just the few hours I was down there. And perhaps best of all was the VIP treatment of a provided shuttle to help us maximize trail time, made only better by cold drinks, snacks and show tunes(?)!! Thanks y'all! read more

Five stars are not enough. Jason picked us up at the hotel, greeted us with a smile, a map and a couple of simple questions. He made a suggestion of a specific trail and off we went. I simply cannot imagine a better outing. 4.2 miles. Indescribable beauty of landscape, plant life, sunset and desert life. In addition, Jason was knowledgeable enough about the history and the vegetation to make for interesting conversation. The pace was right. Plenty of photo opportunities. A short break with good healthy snakes. Great stuff!! read more

Best guided trail hike ever! We had a fabulous experience with Jason! He is so knowledgeable and kind! I have a hard time going downhill and not only was he patient but also gave me tips on how to go down safely. Our hike was so amazing! We cannot wait to go back and do more guided hikes with him. Honestly he deserves more than 5 stars! GREAT trail guide!!! read more

We went on our hike this past weekend with Jason and it was awesome! We only had one day to spend in Sedona and we chose the Sedona Traverse Hike which allowed us to see so much of the Sedona's natural beauty and learn about its history in a half day hike. Our guide Jason was so knowledgeable and you can see how much his own interest and passion for the area shines through as he introduces you to the plants and animals you run into on the trail. Also the snacks he brought were healthy and delicious. 10/10 would do another hike with trail lovers! read more

I honestly cannot recommend this guided hiking service enough! Jason the owner and Derek our guide for the day felt more like friends than a company and really made my boyfriend and I feel as though we were in good hands! We did a private guided hike with them and our guide Derek was just fantastic. They picked us up at the place we were staying in Sedona and shuttled us to our hike as well as provided us with cold water, backpacks and an amazing array of healthy snacks that we ate on a break in the hike at a beautiful little spot near a creek. Jason was extremely accommodating and called us the day before to discuss our preference in snacks, the difficulty level of hikes to find what we were comfortable with and went over any other info and questions we might have! In addition to the hike being exactly what we had in mind for difficulty and extremely beautiful, we also learned so much from from Derek and Jason about the history, geological wonders, Native American culture, and flora/fauna of the area! I love that hiking with Trail Lovers felt personal and truly immersed us in the incredible beauty and energy of the Sedona area. I absolutely cannot recommend them enough. I can't wait to hike with them again on my next visit to sedona! read more

My mom and I chose this company for a sunset hike and we both thought that the whole experience with Jason was amazing! He is super knowledgeable about all areas of Sedona and took us to some spots that were away from the crowds. He picked us up at our AirB&B and also packed us snacks and took our photos along the way. Jason told us so much history of these magical spots which I would have never known. Extra bonus, I really liked how we even had a meditative experience with him, I found him to be quite enlightened and extremely grateful for life and his work. Can't beat that energy. Would highly recommend him!! read more

My guide Scott was great, he knew really awesome trails and easy to hang with for several hours. The owner Jason is great, excellent communication and great equipment, food, all top notch service. read more

What an amazing hike with our guide Connor, we wanted a hike that had views, local environmental discussions and not many hard up climbing paths. Connor's selection was perfect for a 3 hour hike with awesome views, his great in-depth knowledge of local vegetation and the native history of the area. Connor had great snacks that kept our energy levels up and hydrated. Our hike exceeded our expectations with the tremendous insight shared by Connor that we would have never recognized or understood. The answers to our questions were so special in us embracing the area for future trips and the Guide assistance with Trail Lovers Excursions is a must have for a very positive guided hike experience. read more

Fantastic outfit. Our excursions were very well planned. We had requested to avoid loop trails, so when we did six miles it was all new terrain. If you have any particular interests, such as photography, be sure to mention that when booking or to your guide. We arranged the timing of our hikes to hit a couple of key vantage points for a sunrise and sunset, respectively, so that my wife could take photos with a special camera. Snacks are provided for a brief break of 10-15 minutes (and we skipped it one day). The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a pleasure to get to know them. Also, they are stewards of the outdoors and have monthly trail cleanups. They highly respect the outdoors. I found the number of hikes in the Sedona area to be overwhelming and wasn't sure that I would make the right choices, whether doing them on our own or with a guide. I rang up Jason a couple of months in advance and said that I wanted to set up three hikes over a four day period and I wanted to see a variety of things. Basically, I put our choices into his hands, which proved to be wise. Our first hike was a night hike, which was a real treat. Our second day was the half-day traverse on their website. We made sure to leave early so that we could catch a sunburst over the mountains. Our third trip was Creekside by Cathedral for sunset. Our hikes were approximately 4.4, 6.2, and and 4.4 miles, which was just right for us. The pacing is adjusted to whatever suits you. You would be well-advised to go out with these folks. Finally, their booking emails are chock full of all sorts of other information about restaurants, hikes to do on your own, etc. Extraordinarily helpful. read more

Really enjoyed this trip with the incredibly knowledgeable Jason, owner of TLE. He picked us up at our hotel and was prepared with water, snacks, rain ponchos and walking sticks if we needed them. My teen daughters and I had a lot of fun and the hike was tailored to our physical ability. Definitely a do-over. read more

We found trail lovers through a quick online search, however the staff here (Jason and Derek were our guides) were as professional as I have ever had from a guide service. Ever need was met from ensuring that our snack needs were met, and that we had water and headlamps -- they thought of it all. The level of information you receive on the hike is impressive -- glad there was not a quiz at the end :) read more

My husband and I went for two 3 hour hikes with Jason, and being with him was so beyond our expectations. As seniors, with many years of travel experience, we have NEVER encountered any tour guide who is as solicitous, attentive both prior to and during his time with you, to insure a wonderful experience. He tailors all tours to your abilities, provides, various kinds of equipment (hiking poles, etc), wonderful healthy snacks and has a level of knowledge of most aspects of the natural environment of Sedona that is extremely impressive. One additional factor, as Jason knows all the trails in Sedona, he knows to go on hikes that are lesser known, but as stupendously beautiful, as the more well known ones. read more

We had a fantastic time on our full day hike with Jason. Everything was choreographed perfectly, from pickup at our resort in the morning to drop of at the end of the day. All you need to bring is your hiking boots and phone for pictures - Trail Lovers does the rest. I particularly enjoyed the conversation during our hike and learning about Sedona. Jason is extremely knowledgeable and did a really nice job making sure we enjoyed every minute of the hike. The plentiful snacks, cold drinks and lunch didn't hurt either! If you are considering a guided hike in Sedona, definitely pick Trail Lovers - you won't be disappointed. read more

We did a 3 hour custom hike with Jason last weekend, and it definitely exceeded our expectations! The views and scenery were breathtaking, and we were truly impressed with Jason's perfect combination of professionalism, knowledge of the environment and history, and incredibly personable attitude. Not only did we thoroughly enjoy him as our hike guide but just a really cool, interesting and fun person to hang out with as well. The snacks provided were tasty, plentiful and delicious! This experience was wonderful and so worth it. read more

LOVED this hike! Jason is truly an amazing guide and so passionate about his company, his clients and Sedona. The hike was beautiful (sunset hike - just me & my BF), Jason brought THE BEST SNACKS for us, and Jason is incredibly knowledgeable and personable - my bf & I both really enjoyed spending a few hours with him - didn't want the hike to end! Jason is incredibly prepared as well - thank goodness - clearly not his 1st rodeo. It got cool on our hike but he had extra gear/layers for us to borrow and that is NOT an easy task given that my bf is 6' 5" so its always tough to find anything that fits him, but Jason had us covered. Frankly, we can't wait to return to Sedona and schedule another outing with Jason (maybe climbing?). HIGHLY recommend this company and Jason's outings - you will NOT be disappointed. read more

I've hiked and done many tours all around the world, and Trail Lovers Excursions is at the top of the list. The owner is passionate about client experience, safety and the environment. We went on a day hike and a night hike and in both cases, the guides were exceptional. They were personable, informative and incredibly caring individuals. Don't miss the opportunity to hike with true professionals who have spent years learning about the history, wildlife and terrain in Sedona. read more

I highly recommend trail lovers excursions! Jason tailored our hike to our fitness level and any personal requests we had. We started the day by meeting Jason at our hotel. He provided all necessary hiking gear, water, and snacks. Throughout the day he took us to various locations to hike, educated us on Sedona and hiking in general, provided lunch and even wine at the end of our hike as we watched the sunset. My boyfriend and I will forever cherish this day. Anyone who wishes for a true Sedona hiking experience, I would absolutely use trail lovers! read more
