Our Guide John was excellent! My Granddaughter Loved the adventure! She especially loved the game they played finding all the animals we saw and the cactus experiment he did with her. We all enjoyed our Prickly Pear slushy he gave us ! And finally he lots of stories for us and took some exceptional photos ! We highly recommend John !

Whitney was a fantastic guide for this incredible desert tour. She was great with our kids and attuned to the preferences of the group. Learned a lot, and views were spectacular. Highly recommend!

This was a must tour to book when visiting Scottsdale Arizona. Brian our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we learned so must. His driving skills made me feel safe at all times - I booked the tour way in advance and glad I did - I would have not had the true desert experience without this tour. Thanks again Brian and Scottsdale Adventure tours.

Start to finish was an amazing experience for the whole family. 4 adults, 5 kids (ages 3-8), the ride was enjoyable for all. Jon G was a great tour guide and so good with the kids. He made it so much fun for them while still educating all of us on the area. Would highly recommend him at the beginning of your trip.
