Every stop along the tour was great. Our driver and guide, Diane, was informative, told us great stories, and made the tour very enjoyable.

The views were amazing, the Steamboat was extremely nice, but $35 to go on your own, The Ghost town, we just walked around, they didn't give us tickets to do anything, or the time to do it, yet we sat and waited for boat ride for an hour, tortilla flats was just a stop to eat, and we weren't interested in eating, so that was another hour and 1/2 wasted, If you could do it yourself, you will save a ton, cause they only paid entrance fees of $35, and our driver scared me to death around the mountain curves and was making jokes about it, so do it yourself, nothing to gain by going this way

Unbelievable. One of the most enjoyable tour of my life. I few lt like in 1800’s America. Native culture, gold mining, western movies, nature. This tour gives you all. Highly recommended. Also Dan was a great guide.

I took a day tour through the Apache Trail as a solo traveler and had a great time. My guide, Diane, was amazing. She was informative and made sure the entire group felt like a team. I never felt left out despite being on my own. And the tour was great. Multiple spots full of great experiences and photo opportunities. And Diane had plenty of information about each. Would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Phoenix and wanting to experience more than what a google search allows.

We enjoyed yourselves, learned a lot about Arizona and the Apache Trail, and the Dolly Steamboat was a great experience. Our guide Bruce was knowledgeable, nice and considerate and he adapted our tour to fit the circumstances. Highly recommend!

Mark was excellent and explained in detail about every site we toured. He was familiar with the route, as well as the history. I would recommend that Mark would be our tour guide on our next visit to Phoenix. Thank you Sir.
