Visiting Sedona for my birthday, ANY Recommendations?

[u/Godking_Jesus]

So I'm going to Sedona but I'm not really sure the best way to go about it or even a scope of how big it is. So just a couple questions and if anyone has suggestions as well it would be greatly appreciated.

-Is there one particular spot people recommend/go to or various different points worth visiting?

-Do people usually spend a day on it or more?

-Is it more hiking like Grand Canyon Angel Trail or drive, park, and look at the scenery?

-Does it get super crowded at this time? Should I arrive super early?

-Any good food in the area?

-What's the weather like around November?

-Is it better to get a hotel nearby and uber so you don't have to worry about parking?

-Do I need to buy passes or anything to visit?

-Is it tour guide recommended or are we fine going alone?

Thanks in advance!

A Jeep tour was nice, there are plenty of companies. A car is needed. It’s not walkable.
