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.

Exciting, scenic , informative and fun - Ryan took us on a 3 hour adventure in Tonya National Forest. Off roading was definitely off the road! And the scenery along the way was extraordinary, Ryan made several stops to point out the vegetation, geology and history. Kids of all ages will enjoy this adventure. (We are in our 70’s). Buckle up, hang on and enjoy!

Good family fun. - This was a fun experience. Learned lots of great info about the environment. Driver was super friendly and made it a fun time for my kids. I will say they talk about seeing animals but I think larger animals are very rare to see. We did see a squirrel, a couple lizard and birds. Great views. Really no hiking at all. You get out for photo ops at a few stops. Nice that water and soda are included. Heads up that Under 18 must wear a helmet. You will get dusty!
