It was an amazing tour from start to finish. Bruce did a wonderful job picking everyone up and guiding us on an incredible journey from Phoenix to the Apache Trail and beyond. The Dolly Steamboat was refreshing, with plenty of beautiful scenic moments, and the Ghost Town was extremely fun to explore. The lunch stop was great as well. Overall, the tour was excellent, and Bruce did an outstanding job—thank you for such a memorable experience.

Stunning scenery while driving to our destination. The road was twisty and enable us to really get an amazing views of the surrounding desert. Lots of information from our guide. The cruise part was the best. The lake is lovely with the rock formations surrounding the entire lake. The captain was very entertaining. His selection of music is excellent. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Jay was a great guide and when the boat tour got delayed he went above and beyond to keep the trip enjoyable. We had a great time.

Had an opportunity to see several sites. That said, we would have liked to spend more time at the museums and less time on the boat ride.

We had a wonderful day with Aldo as our guide. He was one of the best guides that Viator has. He was accommodating and knowledgeable. We had a pleasant day.
