Exceeded all expectations - my family of 4 learned so much and had a blast - Jay was EXCELLENT! We lucked out and got a private family tour with him (we didn't book private but numbers just worked out that way) and we learned so much. It was me, my husband and two girls (11 and 8). Going into it I was wondering if the cost was going to be worth it, and the tour exceeded all expectations. We learned about scottsdale, the desert, cactus plants and so much more. We also got some incredible family pics which will probably be our next holiday card. Thank you SO MUCH!

Highlight of our trip - This was the highlight of our trip! Family of four, two kids under age 10. Brian was incredibly accommodating, fun, knowledgeable and fantastic with the kids. You could tell he loves what he does! We were so lucky to have him as our guide. I felt he went above and beyond. I would book again and I would request Brian because he was absolutely fabulous! The tour itself was fun to ride on the jeep and the views once at the plateau were incredible!

Awesome Experience! - David, our guide, was absolutely fabulous. He was so knowledgeable and friendly the entire tour and both of my boys and husband really enjoyed chatting with him. You could tell he really enjoyed giving tours and sharing all of his knowledge about Arizona, the wildlife, the plants, etc. I also loved the fact they took photos of our crew. As a mom, you never get a lot of family photos on vacation. (IYKYK!) Would highly recommend this to anyone (as long as you can handle some bumps!) and would highly recommend David!
