A great, relaxing day with our excellent tour guide Kathleen! - We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Kathleen was awesome and had a wealth of information about what we were seeing as we drove to our destinations, including local history and interesting facts about Arizona. On the hike, we learned a ton about the local fauna and survival skills of the Native Americans. The Apache Trail and Canyon Lake were jaw dropping beautiful. The van was comfortable, and the ride was well broken up by the stops. We recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get outside of the city to experience the local desert, mountains, and to learn about the history of the area and local cultures. Thank you Kathleen!!!

Tour During Spring Training - We are very much into history and nature, and this tour checked both boxes. Our guide Kathleen was knowledgeable and very friendly. She knew all the ins and outs, as well as the history of the area. We learned many new amazing things about Arizona and the Scottsdale/Mesa areas. A lot in a five hour tour. I highly recommend this tour.

Exceptional tour! - Exceptional experience! Mike was very knowledgeable and told us about Arizona! We’ve lived here over 40 years and learned so much about our city and state, as well as flora, fauna, Mountain ranges and history! Plan on doing again with other out of state guests!

Exceeded expectations! - Mike was a great tour guide. Very knowledgable about the area, the history and nature. He was very good at explaining the trip and itenary. We went as a couple but this trip would also be good for kids. The tour van/ bus was comfortable and clean. I highly recommend Mike and this outing
