Dear Craig…
Thank you for the incredible experience!! We sincerely appreciated the completely customized trip to our abilities and to see exactly what we wanted to see……the sights were beyond description—like being in our own national park—away from people—all off-roading (how fun!) to areas that we would never have seen on our own and that are not open to the normal tourist options…….the sights were indescribable……absolutely awe-struck over the grandeur and beauty of the areas that we experienced with you……and with your being a photographer—it was an extra plus—we were so happy to hit the highpoints at the right times of day for perfect lighting—and to have your expertise as a resource when questions arose with regard to our cameras……..it was a trip that we will not soon forget! Thank you for an experience of a lifetime!
Sincerely,
Henry & Jeannie Zimmerman Sedona
I had fantastic experience through the tour with Craig.
I could take many great shots in Antelope Canyon because Craig instructed us how to take photo there nicely.
It was amazing. I’m sure you can take wonderful photos there.
We also visited unusual places like Coal Mine Canyon and Horseshoe Bend… It was all spectacular!
And Craig is very familiar with Native American and has many Native American friends.
Visiting Hopi village was very impressive time for me.
I hope to join his tour again!

Throughout my adventure filled life, I have traveled the world and am a proud member of the Circumnavigators Club. Yet nothing in my previous experiences comes remotely close to the rare wonders of the world I experienced with Craig Stuart and his Southwest Photography Adventures.
Craig Stuart guided our group to and through secret and rare formations hidden within Northern Arizona. These formations were exciting, exhilarating and literally took our breaths away - a photographers' dream.
We then were welcomed into the homes of Hopi families on the reservation, where we were privileged to get a rare glimpse of Hopi life, thanks to Craig's personal relationships with these very guarded and mysterious people. Many thanks to Craig Stuart for the trip of a lifetime! I would do it again and again and again!

"After 27 years of living in Sedona, much of which time was spent developing, managing and working as a guide with a number of tour-related businesses in Sedona, Arizona, I had no idea what was in my own "backyard." A mere two-day excursion with Craig Stuart opened my eyes to some of the most amazing mysteries I've ever seen. There are places within a few hours that make the Grand Canyon appear boring. Not only that, but Craig is well-respected by both Navaho and Hopi peoples, so was able to take us places and show us places that few non-natives ever get to see...such as pre-historic oyster beds that are hundreds of millions of years old. There are places that have had such little foot traffic that walking there is like walking on the moon."

"Don't be mistaken, Craig Stuart from Southwest Photography Adventures is one of the best photography guides you'll ever find. From the start, I knew I had something special in store for me. What really sets Craig apart from other guides is his intimate and unparalleled knowledge of everything Southwest--from the people and folklore to the weather patterns and geography. With the deep insight and keen instincts of a seasoned and trusted tracker, Craig will safely and comfortably guide you and your group into all those secret awe-inspiring photography locations only known by a select few. Southwest Photography Adventures has set the bar very high for future guided trips. I will definitely be back!"

I have traveled over much of Arizona and Utah.
But one of the best and lasting memories I have is of touring with Craig Stuart. He is very informative about this beautiful country and its scenery. Craig’s tours take you to many places that would be difficult for you to travel to if you were doing your own planning of a trip. He safely navigates you to the most magnificent sites and he helps you with terrific tips for photography.
For me it was one of the most exciting travels , I have been on. I am an artist from Australia and Craig considered my specific needs for photography. His trips are brilliant and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering an adventure of a life time.
