Explore Northern Arizona’s Ancient Cultures & Volcanic Landscapes on a Private Guided Tour

Discover the natural and cultural wonders surrounding Flagstaff on a fully private guided tour of Northern Arizona’s remarkable national monuments. Designed exclusively for your group, this immersive experience brings you to Wupatki National Monument, Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, and Walnut Canyon National Monument—three of the region’s most fascinating archaeological and geological sites.

Travel in comfort with your own expert SRRT guide, who will share stories of the ancestral Puebloan communities who built thriving villages in the high desert, the volcanic eruptions that reshaped the landscape, and the unique ecology that exists here today. Walk among ancient dwellings at Wupatki, stand at the edge of the dramatic crater fields near Sunset Crater, and explore the cliff dwellings tucked into the limestone walls of Walnut Canyon.

Because this tour is completely private, you’ll have the flexibility to spend extra time at the sites that interest you most—whether that’s history, geology, photography, or simply enjoying the peaceful beauty of Northern Arizona’s open desert.

This is the perfect way to explore three world-class national monuments in a single day, guided by locals who know the land, its people, and its stories.

Comfortable clothing, sturdy shoes, and layered apparel are recommended. Northern Arizona’s elevation can bring cooler temperatures and sudden weather changes.

Absolutely. One of the benefits of a private tour is the ability to linger at the places that interest you most. Just let your guide know your preferences.
