Great tour - Braden was very personable and told a lot of fun stories. He was also so knowledgeable and a great host. He took us to personal favorite spots and steered clear of a couple of others. His interest in park flora and fauna was clearly evident. I'd definitely ask for him again!

TWO TRIPS TO REMEMBER FOR MANY A LONG DAY - We took two tours with Kevin, starting with the Arches Backcountry trip on 3/27 and followed that up the next day with the one around the Canyonlands Backcountry . He followed the advertised content but was very helpful and imaginative in customising the tours to suit our wishes to maximise the backcountry elements rather than going to the more frequently visited (or ‘popular’) sights. This willingness on his part to do this made both trips very special and memorable. I can’t emphasise enough how much we appreciated his willingness to go out of his way to help us enjoy our two tours. Kevin had a thoroughly pleasant manner about him and I really appreciated a steadying hand from him in being able to reach and come down from the Mouth of the Whale Arch. Being able to get to see it from its best vantage point was really awesome-inspiring. He is also a brilliant driver in whose hands we both felt complete confidence and safety. His skills in tackling the Shafer Trail were particularly impressive. In short, these two tours got us right off the beaten track, as both of us enjoy doing, and Kevin’s helpfulness, willingness to adjust to his guests and his skills in handling rough terrain in a comfortable vehicle made these two trips into the wonderful tapestry of Moab’s enchanting and uplifting countryside. In short, with his help, both tours were simply magical.

Jack was a very friendly... - Jack was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Took us exploring through terrain we would not have explored. Made several stops to take pics and explain the geology. Breathtaking views and leaned much about canyonlands. Provided snacks and water for the tour. Overall we were highly satisfied with this experience and would highly recommend!

Guided tour leaves you free to enjoy the views - Jack our guide and driver exuded confidence on the road so no nerves over rough roads with exposed cliffs and gnarly switchbacks. Jack narrated the trip with geological and anthropological and historical details that made it fun. Overall this was a peak experience for us a 50's ish couple and our 22 yo son.

Canyonlands Back Country Tour - Sean took us to Canyonlands back country tour. The views were Amazing! The issue we had was he took his wife with him and this was a private tour with my husband and I. He was holding hands with his wife having private conversations amongst themselves making it little uncomfortable for us.
