Worth the time - Went on the tour this past Wednesday as part of a work trip excursion day. It was great! Not sure what I expected but this was way more! Grace was our driver. She did an excellent job. She knows so much about the history in the area, the plants in the region, and drives very well. Would definitely do again if I'm ever in the area. It was beautiful!!

Awesome Sonoran Desert Jeep Tour - My husband and I had such a great time on the jeep tour. Brian was so knowledgeable about the Sonoran desert which made the tour so interesting! He made the best prickly pear lemonade and mesquite jelly for us all to try! We can't wait to return again!

Exceeded all expectations - my family of 4 learned so much and had a blast - Jay was EXCELLENT! We lucked out and got a private family tour with him (we didn't book private but numbers just worked out that way) and we learned so much. It was me, my husband and two girls (11 and 8). Going into it I was wondering if the cost was going to be worth it, and the tour exceeded all expectations. We learned about scottsdale, the desert, cactus plants and so much more. We also got some incredible family pics which will probably be our next holiday card. Thank you SO MUCH!
