Brian was a great guide, considering all of my inputs to make our Sedona MTB tour an unforgettable experience! Perfect full day tour with a full variety of flowy singletrack trails, allowing me to take some great photos and videos as well.

Great guide. Alex made it a fantastic day. My wife is a true beginner and in less than half an hour he had her going down some advance-beginner runs with confidence. We had a lot of fun. Good location to ride if you are a beginner or intermediate rider. Beautiful too.

Went mountain biking. equipment was great, location was great and so was instructor.

1 day guided MTB trip in Sedona with Hermosa

A day later and I’m still smiling about my day hitting Sedona’s incredible singletrack with Evan from Hermosa Tours. Evan was a great guide! He made everything super easy: from arranging a (sweet!) demo bike from Over the Edge, to assessing my riding abilities and chosing the right mix of trails. Aside from knowing all the local trails, he is also an MTB coach, so I got tips on position, line choice, and bike handling throughout. With him towing me-in I was able to ride some expert features that I never would have tried on my own! (Stoked!)

I highly recommend going with the full-day “ride till you are happy” option to make full use of the demo bike, experience different trail systems, and to be able to take water and food breaks without feeling like you are on the clock. (Sedona miles are physically demanding, and at altitude… you are going to need breaks!)

Overall this was a great day on the bike, thanks to Evan. I’ll be back because the riding here is just crazy good!

Great tour

My son mountain bikes, however, it was the first time for the rest of us. We booked a tour and Leslie was our guide and couldn’t have been better. She was very patient and gave helpful information on how to ride. She took us on a great trail! We had a wonderful time!

Fantastic tour!

I did a half-day mountain biking tour with Britta, and I am so, so, glad that I did! I had not been out biking in more than two years, and Britta was incredibly patient. She gave me excellent advice on how to conquer some of the trickier parts of the trail, and let me do a couple of re-dos so I could prove to myself that I was capable of getting a few steeper downhills.

Britta is just the best, and I’d recommend her to anyone thinking of doing this trip. When I return to Sedona, I will be requesting her for my next mountain biking adventure!

Doug was phenomenal: attentive, responsive, intelligent and funny. Doug picked the trails right at my skill level and gave helpful tips on how to work on skills. Beautiful surrounding, challenging but “doable” trail, great guide, great fun.
Perfect introduction to Sedona mountain biking
