Mission Statement
The mission of AE&S is to help our guests have a phenomenal experience on our tours, cultivating a true love and connection to Sedona and the Grand Canyon. We explore the off the beaten paths and uncover some of the mysteries that people travel from all over the world to find.
The concept of always having the owner of the company perform the tour, which is a guiding principle of AE&S, is a recipe towards guaranteeing a top quality tour. It is believed that most of the time, the owner of any company is going to have the most passion behind customer satisfaction over an employee of that company. I think this especially applies in the tour guide industry here in Sedona.​​
Behind the Scenes
Yes, AE&S is a company based on the idea that only the owner of the company
is doing the tour. However, you may see that the mission statement and other wording on this site includes plural pronouns like "we" and "our". This is because a number of people have contributed in monumental ways to make these tours happen! They continue to contribute their time, abilities, and suggestions while being in alignment with and excited about it's vision.
I would like to put a list of these people here. There is so much appreciation
for what they have done and Hats off and a big heart felt "THANK YOU" to them!
