Deb_W, Aug 2026

Earline_B, Aug 2026

Take this tour!

This was one of the best food tours I've taken. Christopher was so nice and very knowledgeable about the history of the restaurants, the town, and the food. The foods were al so delicious! We were so full by the end of the tour, we didn't need to eat for the rest of the day. Take this tour, it's fabulous!

Grand Canyon and Sedona Day Adventure from Scottsdale or Phoenix

Melvin_R, Aug 2026

Grand Canyon and more

This was a fun tour. Cody is a professional and knowledgeable guide. The tour was timely, plenty of snack and bathroom breaks, plenty of historical facts, and awesome views of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon with bonus stops in Sedona to see the Red Rocks. Overall great experience.

2 Hour Segway Tour - Sunset & City Lights

Jonathan_F, July 2026

Highly recommend. Don't be nervous, Segway was very easy.

Rob was an excellent guide and tailored our tour based on our personal interested and modified it on the fly as we had done a culinary tour of Old Town Scottsdale the day before. This ensured we didn't duplicate the same locations and walked away with an even better understanding of Scottsdale. Super personable, never at shortage of stories, and always able to answer our questions. We were a little nervous having never rode a Segway but I can assure you that they bend over backwards to show the ropes and make sure that you are 100% comfortable before you start. During the tour the pace, break frequency, routes chosen, navigation around people and car traffic all make you safe as your confidence rapidly builds. As with most city tours like this book them early on the first or second day of your trip. You get a ton of recommendations on what restaurants to eat at, what shops to hit later, and what sites to come back and visit. Highly recommend.

Tour was great but our...

Tour was great but our guide Jordan was the main reason for that. He had some much knowledge of the grand canyon, Arizona, Sedona and indigenous tribes. Our entire group left with an amazing experience, of the most amazing place due to our amazing guide. Thanks Jordan! We will never forget it!

Girls trip

This was a girls trip for us. Sisters with our daughters. What a great experience. Gil was very professional. The side by sides were awesome and we got to go see scenery that we typically would not get to. What a beautiful way to view the sunset. Beautiful pictures, time with family, and just a lot of fun. Our girls said this was an awesome experience and had smiles the entire trip. Highly recommend !

Pedal Bar Crawl of Old Town Scottsdale

Annesha_A, June 2026

Great inclusive activity!

Our group of 11 blind/visually impaired women traveled with Captain Ian & we had the time of our lives!! It was fun, exciting & a great memory made! We got to play our own music, drinks were delicious & the captain was a vibe! Definitely worth the money!!!! Also, Eddie at the headquarters was kind, fast & a great host to start the day. The different bars were fun! When you ordered your drinks with a big group, we did worry we weren’t going to make it back to the bike on time, but it was so fun!

Evening Tour of Scottsdale Old Town

Brian did a great job! We enjoyed the evening touring around the city. Evening was a good choice because it was much cooler than a daytime tour would had been. Also, picking a Sunday was a good idea because there was very little traffic to deal with. Brian was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and buildings. He was quick to point out great places to visit and eat. He made it fun! I would definitely recommend this tour! Thanks Brian! Kathy L. -

Small Group or Private Sedona and Native American Ruins Day Tour

Elias_P, Feb 2026

Excellent day trip

Sam was really good as a guide and driver. Very informative and friendly. The tour was in general very intereating and well organised, the van was comfortable. The pick up and drop off could have been better arranged from the company as it took an hour to pick up everyone and an hour to drop off, and for me at least I had to travel another 15 minutes by uber or 40 min by tram to get to the meeting point as opposed to others who were picked up from their hotel. I think it would have been better if we were all told to meet up at one place and then drive off from there, therefore not having to start off the tour too early for some and driving me around the whole of Phoenix, Scodsdale and Tempe. Other than that all was great.

After Dark Desert Tour and Navigating the Night Sky

Valerie_S, Oct 2025

Magnificent evening

We highly recommend this tour with Dave as you will receive a plethora of information of Phoenix and its surrounding areas, the transformation it’s taken through the past 40 years and prior. From the land forms, native vegetation and peoples, spotting of wildlife to a layout of the night sky with special viewing of the moon through a telescope, this excursion was most over the top worth it for the experience. If we have have the fortune of visiting Phoenix again with others members of the family we’ll return once again. Dave even picked us up at and returned us to our resort. You can expect a wealth of knowledge to be shared with you.
