Excellent tour, would definitely recommend and will book again! - Excellent! Went with my 3 teens. Private group, tour guide was amazing and adjusted the riding to our level, which was intermediate. They provided backpacks, water and nice water bottles which we got to keep and made a great souvenir! We booked 2 excursions with this company and was very happy both times. I recommend and will use them again when I’m back in phoenix!

An experience that we will never forget - It was an incredible ride to discover the Sonoran Desert.
Our guide, Don, was very patient and adapted the path to our level, and we made progress ! We had so much fun, and we learned a lot about cactus, animals and even a little bit of History about this place. It was very interesting, and by far the best thing to do in the Sonoran desert !
We were provided everything we need for this ride, all you have to do is bring your smile !

Fantastic!! - It was perfect. If I could give 10 stars, J would! The guide Bob was so nice and we had a blast. It seemed like it was going to rain but we had a beautiful rainbow. The trail is great. Would do again!

Fun experience in the desert - We had a nice easy bike ride through the desert along well marked trails. Don, our guide, was very kind and patient with one teenager who was nervous and uncertain. We appreciated the knowledge he shared and all the dad jokes!

Sunset Mtn Bike in the Sonoran Desert - This was our first real mountain bike experience and it was an absolute treat. The 30k acres McDowell Preserve in the Sonoran Desert has 250+ miles of excellent gravel trails. Our guide Don was an expert in the geology and botany of the entire region. We will be back!

Sunset bike ride - Laurel was amazing!!! My wife and I booked her for Christmas Eve Sunset Tour at Boulder Resort and Spa. She was funny, (dressed in a Grinch outfit) engaging, and informative. The time zoomed by! I highly recommend the experience. 5 star!!!

A must do if you are in Scottsdale - Wow, 4 years since my last visit and trip out with Laurel, this time Don was my guide. We have a great 3 hour circuit trail. Don picked trails which suited my ability and rode at a speed I could cope with. Overall a great way to start a Saturday. I will be back!

Sunset Bike Tour - Had a blast doing the sunset tour. We actually extended the tour to make it 3 hours which was awesome. Our amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and badass guide was Don. He picked us up at our hotel in Fountain Hills in his Sprinter Van and drove us to the trailhead. He had snacks, water, gloves, even chapstick with a back pack for us to use on the trail. He expertly guided us on the 15 mile trail and gave us plenty of mountain biking pointers and great conversation along the way. The tour was tailed to our ability, we were able to "push it" while still having fun which is exactly what we were looking for. Doing this at sunset was really neat experience as well. So glad we did this! Thanks for a great time Don!

Mountain Biking in Phoenix - Matt was our tour guide and he was outstanding. He was very flexible, accommodating and patient. He made sure we were comfortable and going at our own pace, while also giving us some history and background about the area.
Make sure to be well rested and hydrated when booking this tour. You also do not need a lot of experience mountain biking to be able to enjoy this experience.
