Great way to see more of the state! - It was great to get out of the city and see the beauty of the Superstition Mts, Apache Trail, and natural desert wonders. Jake was a knowledgeable, friendly guide, willing to go the extra mile for requests or questions. Great tour!

Great excursion! - Great excursion. Mike had lots of great stories and history to share. We made a lot of stops which helped break up the long drive. He had awesome spots for great pictures. We even had a chance to do a bit of hiking which he lets you set pace and length.

Cool tour! - I had a great time on this tour. Mike was very informative about Arizona history and the different kinds of plants and wildlife that thrive in the desert. He also was able to answer any questions I had, which I appreciated. We had multiple stops/viewpoints along the trip for photos The hike along the Apache trail was nice and not too difficult, so if you're a beginner/moderate hiker you will enjoy it and the landscape is very picturesque. However, my favorite part of the trip was goldfield ghost town which is a high tourist area but so much fun! You actually feel like you're back in time 😅 (and it has a lot of nice gift shops for souvenirs etc.) I would highly recommend taking this day tour on your next trip to Phoenix.

Great Day in the Desert - Our guide Mike was FABULOUS. So chill and knowledgeable about Arizona history. Obviously loves the Sonoran desert and had much to share on legends, cacti, wildflowers and weather patterns. Loved the hike he brought us on in Tonto National Forest with views of the Weavers Needle. Totally worth the trip along the Apache Trail with Mike. (Pics sent to us were wonderful - thank you!)

Tough to find your tour!! - It was very frustrating to know that with only minutes to go the meeting place address didn’t exist. We eventually saw a van parked near that address with a gentleman standing adjacent to it. We asked if he knew of a tour. He said he was it. In the subsequent 10 minutes we witnessed the other 2 couples driving near our location who were in the same predicament as we were. With us spend 300$ it should be crystal clear. All you had to state was “ meeting place across the street from 7114 E Stetson. Park in the public parking garage and wait on E Stetson. Other than that Jake was an amazing host, exceeding our expectations. Just a note aside, we missed a 3 hour culinary tour on Wednesday due to ambiguous meeting place directions. (Viator as well)
