What are people saying about Phoenix

Randy_S, Apr 2026

This was a fun and...

This was a fun and informative trip. Most all of the travelers on our trip would have preferred more time at Tortilla Flats and Goldfield Ghost Town and less at the Elvis Chapel and Museum area. We barely had time to get some food and no time to explore either place. The Dolly Steamboat was a fun and relaxing experience and the Captain was quite entertaining. Our driver gave us lots on historical facts and flora and fauna information.

Grand Canyon with Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon Van Tour

Darian_B, Mar 2026

First trip to Grand Canyon

Visiting the Grand Canyon was a great experience! We thought it was advantageous to have a professional guide with Across Arizona Tours. Ask for Kenny! He had some great stories and info. We felt like we knew the back story on all the people who helped develop the Grand Canyon before arriving. The only downside was that we couldn’t stay longer. Really hope we get a chance to go back!

Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Day Tour from Phoenix

Melissa_N, Mar 2026

Breathtaking Experience

Absolutely loved this tour. The itinerary was a perfect blend of adventure and culture. This tour was well organized. The tour was on time and my guide was absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable making it so interesting to listen too. I would definitely recommend this tour with them.

Phoenix Morning Hot Air Balloon Ride with Bubbly + Breakfast

Cyndi_J, Mar 2026

Bucket list item completed for the 50 year olds!

This was a definite highlight of our trip to Phoenix. The flight was smooth, and enjoyable with a very knowledgable pilot. The sunrise view was breathtaking! The breakfast was as nice as is pictured in all the promos. And the danish was delicious! We highly recommend this experience and it is definitely worth every penny spent!

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…

ATV Training Session

Yazmine_W, Feb 2026

Top notch

Bryan made check in easy and fast. The sidewinder course for my first time ever being on a quad was amazing, Thanks to such an amazing instructor. Joaquin was a great instructor! He was polite , patient , and informative. The directions and safety instructions were clear and concise. He was also there promptly to help with any issues while on the course. Supply are in all included but you can buy cool personal neck gators, goggles, and other gear ( I got a AZ neck gators for $10) I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND GOING!!! And they have multiple locations but the customer service here was just top notch!

3-Hour ATV and Shooting Combo

Christa_G, Dec 2025

Five stars all around!

We have lived in the valley for 30 years. We had a visitor from out of town and it was my son’s 25th birthday. We wanted to do something fun to celebrate. This was way better than expected!! We did the shooting and ATV combo tour. It was my first time shooting a gun despite everyone else in our group having a lot of experience. Shooting the Glock and AR15 were way harder than I expected! The guy in the shooting range was great- he walked us through everything step by step and really made us all feel safe and comfortable. For the ATV portion we decided to switch to UTVs because my daughter and I didn’t feel like driving. We were so glad we switched!! The trails were beautiful!! Be prepared to be covered in dirt from head to toe. Do not wear nice clothing or light colored clothing!they do give you a face/neck sleeve to keep the dirt off of your face, but you will still have a solid layer of dirt all over. We have no regrets though - totally worth the layer of dirt!! This will definitely be on our top list of things to do with out of town guests going forward.

Self-Guided Centipede Desert ATV Rental

Heather_H, Aug 2025

Exciting adventure

We had such a fantastic time exploring the Arizona desert on ATVs, and Jesse was an incredible tour guide! He made sure everyone felt comfortable and included, checking in with each of us throughout the ride. We had a great mix of a little mud, a lot of laughs, and even came away with some great photos he took for us. Can’t wait to book another adventure!

Self-Guided Centipede Desert UTV Rental

Jack_L, Apr 2025

Amazing off-road adventure!

My son and I and our two friends took the guided UTV tour. Nate was our guide. The experience was extremely exciting and fun. The ride by far exceeded our expectations and was worth every penny. Nate was friendly, cheerful and shared lots of interesting local facts. I’ll definitely do this again.
