Amazing off-road desert tour via Jeep! - Whitney was a fantastic guide during Jeep Adventure! She was incredibly knowledgeable of the history, weather dynamics, and had deep experience on all the desert vegetation and wildlife. Overall, we could not be happier and highly recommend a tour with her!

Bachelorette Group Excursion - I am in Scottsdale for my cousin’s bachelorette and we chose to do the Jeep tour as a group of 11 and we had the most amazing time with our tour guide Jon. He brought great energy to the day and was prepared for everything. Best part of our trip!

Stunning sunset in the Arizona desert - Great tour. We had Brian as our guide and he was very knowledgeable and also fun to hang out with for a few hours. He also brought a jelly made from one of the plants for us to try which was delicious! Great views from the platform and absolutely stunning at sunset. Iconic Arizona.

Best desert experience - We had the best Jeep adventure through the Sonoran Desert, and our guide Allen was the ultimate desert wizard! From the moment we hit the trail, his brain was like a treasure chest of desert secrets—he dazzled us with tales about the plants, critters, and history of the area. Plus, he sprinkled in just the right amount of humor to keep the vibes light and laughter flowing. Allen made sure we were snug, stopping for epic photo ops, and answering all our curious questions. It was a bit cool in the morning, but no worries—he came with warm blankets and hot cider to cozy us up! If you’re a nature lover or just crave a thrilling escapade, this Jeep trip with Allen is a total no-brainer! 10/10 recommend!
