Beautiful AZ Desert hike - My husband and I had a memorable and enjoyable hike. Paul was professional. Day before, he texted to confirm with us. On the hike he often checked on how we were doing. We hiked the entire 2 hours. Paul was friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend to those who enjoy the outdoors and want to see Creek Cave AZ wirh a guide!

Loved it! - Paul was a fantastic guide on this beautiful hike! We enjoyed every beautiful view while learning a bit about the vegetation and history of the area. Highly recommend!

Amazing guided hike - Memories of a lifetime!! We had such a great time in addition to learning so much about Arizona plant and animal life!! We would highly recommend this tour!!

Such an Amazing Experience at Jewel of the Creek!! - My husband and I booked a tour with Paul and were very happy we did! We realized we had an afternoon open and called Paul to ask if he could accommodate us the following day and he made it work. He met us at Jewel of the Creek and it was absolutely stunning. Paul was pleasant, knowledgeable and very professional. He taught about the desert with real appreciation and we learned so much from him. He also provided water, sunscreen and offered snacks. During the hike, Paul suggested different levels of trails to take, depending on our comfort and energy levels. I would highly recommend this hiking tour with Paul. He would accommodate for all ages and skill levels and it is a cool and fun experience!!!!

Hike with Paul - Paul took our family (with 2 teenage boys) for a 2 hr hike through Jewel of the Creek. Paul made it interested and fun for the boys with descriptions of the flora and fauna of the area. Great way to spend an afternoon! Highly recommend the experience!

We would do it again! - Our guide, Paul, was excellent. He had a lot of information to share about the beautiful wilderness area we explored. He provided everything. This was our first time to do a private tour like this and we loved it. Side benefit is it made me want to do this again! We tried to pack a lot of activities in our short stay near Sedona. I'm so glad this was part of the itinerary. It was a real highlight. I especially appreciated how much Paul genuinely loves what he is doing.

Amazing hike, wonderful guide! - My mom and I enjoyed this lovely, flexible, gorgeous hike with Paul as our guide. I’m sharing her review below which sums up our experience perfectly. “I am not used to booking a private tour with an unknown guide, but this was a wonderful experience. Our guide answered lots of questions ahead of time, and the meeting place and directions were easy to follow. Before we started out, Paul offered us water bottles and recommended sunscreen, but we already had our own daypacks, water and sunscreen. But that was a nice touch for people who might not have those things handy. We were reminded to drink water throughout the hike, which was especially important for us since we had just arrived from sea level and weren’t quite acclimated to the altitude and dry air. But the weather was perfect for us that February day. We hiked the trails in the Jewel of the Creek and it was spectacular hiking. There were lots of trail options, and with Paul’s guidance, we chose the ones that met our interests and skill levels. We were two hikers, mother and daughter, with different levels of fitness, but the hike met our hiking abilities and exceeded our expectations. Initially we hiked down towards the aquifer that runs through verdant trees and cool shaded pathways. From there we added a trail or two and took our time when necessary. Then Paul took us on a trail up to a striking petroglyph and amazing 360 degree views. All along Paul pointed out things of interest and responded to all our questions. As for having a private guide, I am so glad we found Paul and this particular magical place, the Jewel of the Creek. I would recommend Paul and his private guided hikes to any and everyone. Thank you Paul. --the mom”

Awesome tour! - Paul is wonderful! A few friends and I did this tour and it was a highlight of our trip. Paul’s passion for the area is contagious. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of this area and learn a lot along the way.

Paul is great - Paul was a great guide who knew all the plants and history of the area. Would totally recommend. Lovely walk and easy hike through a well planned trail

We expected the tour guide to offer more about the history of the area, desert life and a few stories. - The hike was in a great area but we felt we could have pretty much done a little research and saved $350.
