What are people saying about Phoenix

Amaya_F, Jun 2026

BEST tour company ever!!!! BEST guide ever!!!!

This was an AMAZING experience!! Antelope Canyon way beyond what the pictures show, so breathtakingly beautiful! Nala was our driver and she was SPECTACULAR in every single way!! So friendly and personable, and prepared for us(the travelers) with little extras that made this experience so enjoyable!

Kayaking the Salt River Foxtail Trip

Coley_S, Jun 2026

Great experience, highly recommended

This was a fun experience, and I’d probably do it again. The quick moving water/rapids really aren’t that bad. As long as you keep your kayaking going straight down the river, you’ll have no issues. The Salt River can be a little crowded, so you’ll need to paddle around tubing folks, and likely some wild horses.

Self-Guided Centipede Desert ATV Rental

Joey_P, Jun 2026

Self guided atv ride

Did the self guided tour and had a blast. Guided tour looked like they were going a little slow so the freedom you get with just your group was more fun for my friends and I. Practice course before you go out on your own was difficult but definitely helpful if you’ve never rode on an atv. Instructors are very helpful and explain instructions and controls very well.

Phoenix area Hot Air Balloon Ride on the Largest Balloon in USA

Sharnell_C, May 2026

You won’t regret this!

Just book it! The captain, Mike P and Earl were phenomenal!!!! I would totally recommend this experience to anyone, and how many times can you say I flew in the largest hot air balloon in the USA! Like omg, the breakfast and champagne was great as well as the drive there. They were kind and SO attentive! Worth every penny!

Grand Canyon with Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon Van Tour

Carlos_A, May 2026

Amazing tour

This was exactly the tour we were looking for—one that would take us to the iconic sites of Sedona and the Grand Canyon. I recommend it to anyone who wants to dedicate a day to visiting these two areas. Patrick our tour guy was amazing. Patrick, our guide, was spectacular—always providing us with plenty of information and helping us even more than we expected.

Small Group Apache Trail Day Tour with Dolly Steamboat from Phoenix

Boyd_L, Apr 2026

Nice experience, to watch the mountains in the Stone wall around boat ride called the Dolly. We experienced the magnitude mountains in the Grace. What an interesting trip it was the mountains that made it beautiful since Faith, Grace and Service in the Harte, Arizona.

Sedona and Grand Canyon Full-Day Tour

timm8365, Mar 2026

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

Jessica_M, Feb 2026

Fun Trip!

Depending on where you are coming from, it is a lot cooler in Sedona, so check the wind and temp before you leave. Other than that, our tour guide, Jordan, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. I could have spent a little more time checking out the village in Sedona, but the places Jordan showed us instead of more shopping time were very beautiful. The majority of our group wanted to see more of the red rocks, so we were completely okay with that. When you look at the length of the tour, it seems like a lot of driving, and it is, but the way the tour is split up, you are getting in and out of the tour van pretty frequently so it splits up the driving time very nicely. Overall, I would really recommend this trip if you want to see the sights in Sedona, and get a feel for the culture as well.

Self-Guided Centipede Desert UTV Rental

Denver_J, Dec 2025

UTV ride with my kids

The park was awesome. The people were nice and polite and very helpful. They walk us through the process and got us the information we needed for the adventure. Our tour guide, Austin was a pro and awesome guide. We would definitely do this again and plan for next year and maybe more people to come along.

3-Hour ATV and Shooting Combo

Richard_E, Oct 2025

The staff was amazing....

The staff was amazing. Fun, safe and responsible. I am experienced in firearm safety but not so much with riding ATVs. The shooting range had a great set up but if you’re a regular frequenter of ranges this is somewhere you may want to bring your lesser experienced friends. This was definitely a challenging ATV tour but the fact that they let me run the practice course and encouraged me to switch from an ATV to a UTV was a great suggestion. The UTVs were insanely fun. The tour itself allowed for the perfect amount of flooring it, whipping it and expect to get dirty especially after any amount of rain. I would absolutely love to do this again!
