Sonoran Dessert Jeep Tour - This tour was amazing! Brian was an awesome tour guide and enriched the tour with helpful information about Arizona’s wildlife, horticulture and Native American history/culture. I went on a solo trip and would highly recommend! The homemade prickly pear lemonade was icing on the cake.

Girls' Trip Adventure - We took this tour as part of our annual girls' trip. From the moment we hopped into the jeep with our guide, Ed, it was endless laughs and adventure. We learned so much about the beautiful landscape while waiting for a gorgeous sunset. Ed was patient with us and even had to get a teddy bear cactus off of my shoe/foot with pliers and tweezers. We got some amazing photos and enjoyed ever moment. I highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful desert escape - No sunset like an Arizona sunset! Unbelievable views and having Ed as our tour guide really enhanced the experience. Ed is very knowledgeable about the area including the landscape as well as interesting historical facts. The drive was cold due to the wind but luckily we were provided some really warm blankets! Ed was kind enough to volunteer as photographer for the group which resulted in so many amazing pictures! This is a must experience for both locals and out of town visitors.

Fell in love with the desert - This jeep tour was the absolute highlight of my trip, you must go! If you do, request Grace as your tour guide. She was an absolute legend!! Grace was incredibly knowledgeable about the desert and is an incredible photographer. She got some amazing shots of my friends and I for my best friend’s bachelorette trip. We couldn’t stop laughing the entire time weather it was bumping around in the jeep or posing for the shots Grace came up with, it was by far the best adventure I have taken thus far!
