Great idea. Great experience.
It worked great for us. No need to hit pause or stop the app when you pull off to look at stuff. It picks right up where you were and keeps going.
Response from the operator: Tracy, I’m thrilled my Sedona self-guided audio tour made exploring flexible and convenient, with the narration resuming smoothly after every stop! I hope you’ll try another destination with my bundle or subscription. Happy exploring!

Did not work in Sedona
When we used the app in Zion it was great! We tried it in Sedona, it did not follow our location , and did a bunch of repeats.
Response from the operator: Laura, I’m glad to hear the app worked well for you in Zion, and I’m very sorry you had trouble with my Sedona GPS Driving Audio Tour. Could you let me know where the repeats happened most often? Did the same stop keep replaying, or was the narration jumping between locations? I’d really like to understand more so I can look into the issue further with my team. Please feel free to reach out anytime — I’m available daily from 9 AM–6 PM EST and happy to help.

Good if you’re technical and on a budget
Not as intuitive as I’d hoped. We tried one of these self-driving tours in Kauai and were somewhat satisfied so we tried this one. Narration was good but it was harder to navigate.
Response from the operator: Nancy, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the narration, though I’m sorry the navigation felt harder than expected. My tour is designed to be simple once set up, with GPS-triggered audio that plays automatically as you follow the route, so there’s minimal need to interact with the app while driving. I’d really like to understand more—was the difficulty during setup, following the route, or with the map itself? My team is always available to walk you through the setup and app step by step, and I’m here as well if you need help. I’m available daily from 9 AM to 6 PM EST and would be happy to assist.

Audio Tour
We selected the audio tour for a trip through Red Rocks state park in AZ. The park was basically about walking and hiking trails. Thus the audio was useless.
Response from the operator: Nadine, it sounds like you only took the Red Rock bonus tour and not the main Sedona tour. The bonus is focused more on the walks and trails available in that part of the park. If the audio didn’t trigger or didn’t match your route, I’d love to learn more. Please reach out with any details—I’m available daily from 9 AM to 6 PM EST and happy to assist.

Good little app and tour
Informative, easy to follow and setup. We were able to get app and tour figured out in a few minutes and it also included Red Rock State Park.
Response from the operator: Todd, I’m really glad to hear that my Sedona GPS Driving Audio Tour was informative, easy to follow, and simple to set up. It’s great that you were able to get everything working in just a few minutes, and I’m happy you enjoyed that it also included Red Rock State Park. I truly appreciate you sharing your experience.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sedona Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sedona.
How much does Sedona Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $17 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sedona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sedona Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sedona is not rushed.
Is Sedona Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sedona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sedona Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sedona Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sedona Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sedona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sedona and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sedona Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sedona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sedona?
+
Sedona's activity market is dominated by off-road jeep tours, and the difference between operators comes down to which trails they are permitted to run. Beyond that: vortex and energy walks, hot air balloon lifts at dawn, stargazing sessions in one of the darkest skies in the country, and Grand Canyon day runs north. We rank on permit access and group size. On Outty we rank every Sedona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Grand Canyon Complete Tour from Sedona or Flagstaff, Sedona’s ONLY Guided ATV Tour: Western Red Rock Backcountry, Sedona Off-Road Jeep Tour: Rugged Western Canyons & Wildlife. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sedona?
+
March to May and September to November. Summer afternoons bring monsoon storms. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sedona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
