Sonoran Desert Mountain Bike Tour - Paul was great. He catered our mountain bike tour to our level. He was prepared with water, gatorade, sunscreen. He had tons of knowledge about the plants. The ride itself was so much fun! Highly recommend.

Three outings of 3 hrs each with Paul -- superb! - Paul and his guided mountain bike tours are superb! I did 3 sessions of 3 hours each over 3 days with Paul (= total 9 hours), all based solely on TripAdvisor reviews. Easily my best-ever first time guided experience (I have done several types in different countries). The landscape, trails, and weather are great, but it is Paul who seals the deal! Foundationally, adventuring with Paul is a great value, and he communicates impeccably at all stages of customizing, arranging, meeting, adjusting, confirming, etc. He is an expert guide. He knows the area and options extremely well. His recommendations regarding routes and difficulty are insightful and reliable. He prioritizes safety and matching rider needs, but his recommendations are thrilling and fun -- always something new around the next corner! His equipment and supplies are top notch. He is great company -- very expert about new mountain biking skills, and also the desert ecosystem, the area's growth, and life in AZ. I look forward to biking with Paul again, and likely to add diverse family members, because Paul has excellent ideas across activities, intensities, ages, and abilities!

We love Paul! - This was honestly the best part of our trip (and we hit the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Devil’s Bridge, Slide Rock, you get the point.) Paul was clearly an expert on the desert but he was able to carry the experience of visiting the area for the very first time. He was very informative, had lots of great spots picked out for photos, and even warned us for more intense parts of the biking trail. Even if you took this tour multiple times he’d change it up as he offered us multiple routes for different experiences such as technical or flowy. We 1000% recommend this tour if you’d love a fun experience through the Sonoran Desert.

Great Experience with Paul my guide - The Tour was fantastic…Paul, my guide, was really great…Went over all the features on the bike, positioning of the pedals and seat, etc before we headed out. During the ride he would stop and let me know the trail terrain coming up and how to best navigate through it. Was really focused on my safety foremost. During the ride he continuously pointed out all the various species of trees, plants etc and strategically stopped at the best spots to take pictures. Truly an amazing experience for me and I could not have had a more informed, prepared and enjoyable guide in Paul. Highly recommend this tour to everyone.

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.
