Michael_S, Jun 2026

Great experience!...

Great experience! Staff very friendly and informative. Watched a short video on what to expect, brief summary, and on the water thereafter! Didn’t get to see any wild horses drinking from the river but did catch them roaming. Best times are 2-3 before sunrise and sunset apparently,

What a great time!

Naala was the absolute best during the Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Day Tour. She was kind, friendly and full of knowledge. She shared lots of history, fun facts and current information on the picturesque landscapes and cities we traveled through on the journey between Phoenix and Page, AZ. Although it was an all day tour, Naala transported us safely and ensured that our group was comfortable. Nature. Landscapes. Elevation. History. Picturesque.

Grand Canyon with Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon Van Tour

Georgiana_D, May 2026

Best tour I’ve ever been on

I’ve done a lot of tours and this was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Zane made the entire tour unforgettable from start to finish. The views were incredible, but honestly his energy, knowledge, and personality made it next level. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants everyone to have an amazing time. The views were incredible and the education of Arizona was amazing. I was blown away the entire trip. If you’re thinking about booking this tour, do it!!. Arizona would not have hit the same without him.

Sedona and Grand Canyon Full-Day Tour

Our guide did an...

Our guide did an outstanding job throughout the entire tour. He was extremely informative and shared so much interesting history about each location we visited. We stopped at several unique and beautiful spots around the canyon that we probably never would have discovered on our own. At each stop, he explained the history of the area, what we were looking at geologically, and some of the stories connected to those viewpoints. What really stood out was the guide’s energy and attitude. He was fun, positive, and clearly passionate about what he does. His enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable and kept everyone engaged throughout the day. We also had time to browse for souvenirs and take in the scenery without feeling rushed. Standing at the edge of the canyon and taking in the massive scale and beauty of it all was absolutely breathtaking. Pictures simply can’t capture how incredible it feels to see it in person. 📸 Overall, it was an incredibly memorable experience. The guide’s knowledge, positive energy, and ability to keep the tour engaging made the day even better. My wife and I left with a much deeper appreciation for the beauty and history of the Grand Canyon National Park, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. It’s something we’ll never forget!

Small Group or Private Sedona and Native American Ruins Day Tour

Mark_R, Feb 2026

Sedona, AZ…awesomeness waiting to happen!

Worth the drive! From the PHX area expect 90-120mins van ride. Comfortable captains chairs to enjoy the views enroute. There is a planned rest stop for bathrooms and snacks along the way. Appreciated! Sedona sites were well thought out for this tour. Plenty of time to see each location with a healthy duration lunch stop in the middle to eat and walk around the markets of Sedona. Historically accurate commentary along the way sharing the cool stories of old. Elmar was our guide. Very cool, very personable. A great people person! Well done sir…

Arrive to the center and they take you on a van ride to where you will take off. Very fun. 14 mph but felt slower than an elevator. Kyle, my pilot, was awesome. Informative and I can appreciate him keeping us in the loop the whole time. Champagne at the end was just the cherry on top. He was awesome. Ground crew were awesome. Didn’t have to wait for them. Snacks at the end! Thanks Kyle for an awesome trip in the basket.

Scott_C, Jan 2026

A Blast in the Desert with a great guide.

They should know that we haven’t rode wheelers in 25 years so there was some anxiety but after the safety talk and how to follow each other and how to operate the vehicles was very fun my wife ended up having to drive cause I had a reason I could not and my wife drove like a champ when I sent my daughter a picture of it her response to it was no way and I had as much fun not driving watching her tear it up thanks to our guide Ryan and the info he shared with us that we did not know some of it about Cactus some of it about mines and rock up by 4 Peaks would highly recommend going with Desert Dog there machines were newer seats were so comfortable, they give you a helmet with a clear visor on it to protect your eyes and your sunglasses you also get a face cover for the dust.,don’t hesitate go have some fun.
