Great Day in the Desert - Our guide Mike was FABULOUS. So chill and knowledgeable about Arizona history. Obviously loves the Sonoran desert and had much to share on legends, cacti, wildflowers and weather patterns. Loved the hike he brought us on in Tonto National Forest with views of the Weavers Needle. Totally worth the trip along the Apache Trail with Mike. (Pics sent to us were wonderful - thank you!)

Great desert tour! - Kathleen was super patient and very informative! I imagine it would be challenging to try and do a long tour like this with just one person, but she made it seem effortless. I really appreciate her attention to detail and asking preferences along the way as well! Will certainly return with my family if we’re able to visit in-season

A day in the desert... - Really fun time in the desert. Our tour guide Kathleen was terrific. She did a great job explaining the history of the area and showing us the specific types of plant life that exists out there. She was very patient with all our questions. After the desert, we went to the ghost town, which is a recreation of a town that existed in the wild west a long time ago. Kathleen also gave us plenty of restaurant recommendations in the Scottsdale area. All in all, it was a great time, and I would highly recommend checking it out!

Cool Cactus Cruse - I liked the tour. I went on Friday Feb. 28th. I do not recall the name of my guide but he was very informative and dropped me off at a bookstore that I wanted to go to at the end of the tour. Also, I was the only person on the tour that day so I got a lot of personal feedback.
