This was the highlight of our trip worth every cent. The scenery is breathtaking. It was a smooth ride and not overcrowded.

Enjoyed the fact that I didn’t have to drive. I got to see the sites! We opt out of last stop. We were tired and both happened experienced it a couple of times. Of course the Dolly was the highlight. John our driver was very knowledgeable and he made us feel very welcomed and safe. Thank you John.

Hands down the best tour I was on this week; tonto national park is incredible, canyon lake delightful, and tortilla flat was awesome (such good food). Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend this tour and this company in general!

The scenery is the best thing for me. I am from Chicago and now live in west palm beach. So it is a beautiful change.

We had a great time! Saw a lot of sites and the views of the Phoenix area. Our tour guide was amazing and knew a lot of history and told great stories. I loved the steamboat ride, it was so nice and relaxing. We did not see a lot of wildlife though, probably due to the time of day and heat! They were hiding out and I don't blame them! I stayed inside the cabin and only went out on the deck to take pictures! :)

Our guide Darien did a great job and was very informative about local plants and wildlife. The Dolly Steamboat was a fun and cool way to enjoy the beautiful scenery on Canyon Lake and we had alot of fun at the museum and local shops . Highly recommend!

My family and I spent a week in Arizona this June. In that week, we booked 4 unique tours with Arizona Scenic Tours (Sedona/vineyards, the Grand Canyon, the Apache Trail and Dolly Cruise and Flagstaff). We had such an amazing time!!! The staff were very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. They took such great care of us!!! Thanks to the staff, we were able to truly relax and enjoy the experience. We highly recommend Arizona Scenic Tours!!!!!
