We had a great time on the tour. It was cold that day but the blankets provided helped. Our guide Allen was friendly knowledgeable and accommodating. The ride is pretty bumpy but you crawl over the dips and bumps slowly for the most part.

Great tour. Our guide Alan was great. Very knowledgeable and personable. Would definitely do again. His Sonoran cider was a nice treat on a chilly day.

This was a very informative and fun tour. We learned a lot about the different plants and animals in the desert, and even got to taste some of the edible plants. Our two teenagers enjoyed it. Our guide, Caz, was very knowledgeable and did a great job driving the jeep over some rugged terrain.

We had a wonderful tour with our guide and driver, Cam. The vehicles are well outfitted and comfortable. Cam (highly recimnded you request her!) was amazing. Her wealth of ecological and geographical knowledge kept both adults and kids highly engaged. What was most impressive was Cam’s passion for the desert and preserving the wonderful resource. This was not just a Jeep tour of the desert, this was an engaging educational experience. Highly recommended!!!
