Great tour of the desert - Paul was a perfect tour guide. I appreciated his introduction, going over the equipment and the basics of what to expect on the trip. He tailored the challenge level and the pace of our tour to the ability of our group. When we were done we all felt like we got everything we wanted from the tour. A good ride and workout, great views, lots of information on the desert and surrounding mountains. Equipment (bikes, helmets, gloves, water bottles) was all in great condition. I would definitely recommend Paul and this trip, and would do it again.

Excellent Guided MTB Tour - I recently had an incredible experience with Arizona Adventure Guides, embarking on a three-hour mountain tour of the Pima Mountain Trailhead. The organization and attention to safety were impeccable, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable adventure. My guide, Paul, was outstanding, offering expert guidance on navigating various terrains. He didn't just lead the way; he educated me on the techniques to master the rugged paths, enhancing my confidence and enjoyment.The tour wasn't just about the ride; it was a comprehensive exploration of the area's beauty. Paul showcased the most scenic views, enriching the experience with his extensive knowledge of the local flora, fauna, and historical significance. His passion for the outdoors and expertise made the journey not only thrilling but also educational.The quality of the tour and Paul's guidance left a lasting impression, making me eager to return. I'm already looking forward to my next adventure with Arizona Adventure Guides, hoping to experience hiking, biking, and paddleboarding tours with Paul. His ability to blend adventure with learning and safety makes him an ideal guide for anyone wanting to explore the natural wonders of Arizona.

Vacation Highlight - The bike ride was thrilling while our stops really highlighted the beauty of the desert. We enjoyed our first mountain bike ride with a guide who taught us how to use the bikes and appreciate the trail. The equipment was first rate.

Mountain Bike adventure! - Paul was our guide for this mountain bike tour and we had so much fun. He was very knowledgeable, had all the gear/water/snacks we needed, and the bikes were very nice. We were able to see lots of different landscapes and it was great exercise. Our youngest had a small spill on the trip and Paul even had what we needed for that. Beautiful time of the year to go too!

Best way to see the desert! - Highly recommend! This was the perfect way to get out and enjoy the desert and beautiful scenery. Paul made it easy with everything I needed and all of the expertise about the location. I felt safe and did not have to worry about anything. He provided many options to customize the ride for meS I loved the ease of this option to explore while I was in the area for work. We even saw a Gila monster! 😳 Whether you are a beginner or experienced, you will enjoy this ride!

Fantastic desert biking ! - Upshot: This adventure came in above expectation ! Note that your private tour will consist of only you and any people that you booked to ride with you. No riders you don't know are booked onto your tour time. My wife and I chose the 3-hour tour. Glad we did. Since we’re not at all regular bikers, it took a bit to get ourselves used to handling the bikes and the terrain. But, then we settled into a nice rhythm to enjoy the fantastic desert scenery, up close. Our guide, Paul, was sensational. Super knowledgeable about the landscape, friendly and patient with us when we needed rest breaks. Among several options, he helped us choose the right route for our capability and comfort, and he knew every nook, cranny and rock on the way. At riding breaks, Paul provided interesting informational tidbits about the desert flora, fauna and vistas that you’re seeing. Awesome photo opps at just about every other turn on the trail. Paul provides cool backpacks for your wallet and phone, plus water and snacks during the ride. Nice bathrooms are available at the trailhead to start/end the trip. If you ask, Paul will provide a post-ride brew pub recommendation and might even join you.

Perfect Desert Ride - Paul was amazing! This tour was my favorite activity during my Scottsdale trip. Paul fitted me for my bike, provided a backpack, and a couple bottles of water. During the tour, we stopped for pictures and explanations of flora/fauna, and topography of the desert. It was VERY engaging and informational. As for the ride itself, Paul tailored it to my abilities and made it challenging and fun. Spinning a few times a week really helped me out here. All in all, I would give this tour a 10/10. I would definitely do it again. ♥️
