A Beautiful Snowy Half Day Tour of Arches - This was a great half day tour. Our tour guide Dave was very friendly and informative. He provided a lot of history, geology and personal experiences in Arches National Park. We will definitely look to Moab Scenic Adventures for another tour next time we get to Moab. We lucked out and had a tour with a dusting of snow in the park which made it really beautiful.

Great excursion in Moab! - We had an amazing time on the back country tour through Arches with Kevin who went above and beyond to tailor this trip to our stated goals. We are in our late 60's but in decent physical shape so we were able to do a couple hikes up to some more remote arches in the park. The trail was rough in places and we agreed to some rougher areas and it was a riot! Kevin made the trip fun and adventurous. This would not be a trip for anyone with back problems but they explained they could adjust the trip if needed. Snacks and water were provided. We loved the excursion and recommend Moab Scenic Adventures!

Repeat satisfied customers! - We returned to Moab to celebrate my husband's 65th birthday. We had a great experience with this company a few years ago. This time my husband selected the Arches National Park Backcountry Tour and we had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was Sorah W. and she drove us on this crazy, bumpy backroad to give us some amazing views. She stopped to let us hike to a view locations and took some pictures of us. We wouldn't hesitate to book another adventure with this company when we return to Moab the next time!

Exceptional Private Experience - Getting to see parts of Arches National Park that most people are not able to access was awesome! Not having to fight the crowds is worth the price. Eye of the Whale arch is beautiful! Our guide Kevin was superb!

Arches National Park Backcountry Sequoia Tour with Kevin - We just finished the Backcountry private tour in an air conditioned Sequoia with our family! Kevin was a fantastic tour guide. He had so much knowledge about the area. We saw things we would have never seen in the park on our own. My boys will be talking about the dinosaur tracks he showed us forever! The “off roading” parts were awesome. No lines and no park reservations needed was a huge plus. The sequoia was a smooth ride, great AC and the views Kevin showed us were breathtaking. Loved hearing all the the names and history behind all the arches. This is a great tour and Kevin was an awesome guide! I would highly recommend this company to see parks of this beautiful National Park you would never see in your own!

Below average - I booked this tour because the description and the price - both made me feel that I was booking an upscale tour. The rock formations are amazing no matter how you see them but it was just disappointing that there was nothing special our about our tour. The vehicle was dirty and there were old snack wrappers stuffed in the drink holders. The water bottles were in a flexible cooler that had dirt in the bottom of it. I pulled out a water bottle that was almost frozen solid but it was rough like it had been was really old and when I took a drink there was literally dirt around the cap. The snacks were fruit roll ups, packaged rice crispy treats and gold fish. I felt like I was on a pre-school field trip. When the tour was over our guide said "come inside we have things for you!" Then she gave us some business cards and stickers. I understood from our tour guide that their company is fairly new. I don't like to give negative reviews but I wanted to at least give the feedback. This tour was completely over priced for what we received. I was hoping for an above average experience and we got a lower level drive around.
