Best bachelorette activity ever! - Our desert Jeep tour with Scottsdale Adventure Tours was hands-down the highlight of our entire bachelorette weekend! As a group of eight girls visiting from the East Coast, we were looking for something fun, unique, and memorable—and this tour exceeded every expectation. What made it truly unforgettable was our guide, Jon G. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the desert landscape, but he also happened to be a retired federal agent with the best stories we’ve ever heard. He had us laughing nonstop, making the whole experience feel like an off-road comedy adventure. Jon went above and beyond to make us feel special—he even brought us delicious prickly pear margaritas to sip while enjoying the views. His energy, humor, and genuine passion for what he does really set the tone for the whole experience. And the fact that he remembered all eight of our names by the end? Total pro move. We’re still talking about it. If you’re looking for an unforgettable way to explore the desert, do not miss this tour—and definitely request Jon G if you can. It was the perfect mix of adventure, laughs, and desert magic. 10 out of 10 experience!

He had amazing and very interesting stories to keep us entertained the whole way. The tour exceeded all of our expectations by far, from start to end. Also, he took wonderful photos of our group- a big bonus!! Jon predicted everything we would need. Cannot recommend highly enough- if you’re in town, do this tour!!

Fun-packed adventure with an amazing guide! - Jon G. was an incredible guide who made the trip one we will talk about for years! We went as a business group and made us all laugh for hours after the trip. Another guide took a few others in our group out and took amazing photos! So grateful for this experience.
