We booked a last minute... - We booked a last minute tour with Andy and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend if you are looking to be immersed in the mountains learning about the rocks, plants, animals and the history of the area. The bonus was the incredible photo ops along the way. He also gave us recommendations after our trip on where to drive, eat, and see more of the beautiful mountains of the Tonto National Forest. A good time was had by all. 5-stars

An Awesome Experience - This was an awesome experience! We learned so much about the history of the desert and the mountains. The ATV machine is a vehicle that’s truly meant to navigate the inclines and descents of the trail. My niece and I truly enjoyed this experience.

Experience the landscape of Phoenix and the Bulldog Canyon - In town for a wedding and the first time to Phoenix. We wanted to experience the landscape so we booked the morning trip with Bulldog Canyon tours. Top notch service from the time we parked until we left for our airbnb. 5 adults in the trip so 2 vehicles with the 3 "old folks" with Andrew and Ryan took the 2 "youngsters". They both were so informative and friendly as we traveled along the trail. It added so much to the beautiful landscape and mountains. We even came upon a snake starting to snack on his captured chipmunk. Andrew stopped and helped Mr. Snake over to the side of the trail so it would be safe and could enjoy the meal. Highly recommend spending a couple of hours with them experiencing the beauty and nature along the Bulldog Canyon.

Fun, exciting and educational, too! - What a great way to have fun while seeing beautiful scenery and learning about the plants and animals in the Tonto National forest. Ryan was a terrific guide and a great driver. We couldn’t get enough of the spectacular scenery as we bumped along! Ryan would stop whenever we asked and had several planned stops. Great way to see this part of Arizona.
