What are people saying about Scottsdale

Pedal Bar Crawl of Old Town Scottsdale

Annesha_A, Jun 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!

Sonoran Desert Jeep Tour at Sunset

Cherie_M, Jun 2026

Definitely a fun trip!

Brian was an excellent guide and really shared a great deal of information about the flora, fauna, and wildlife of the Sonoran Desert. He had samples of several items for us to see and touch and was always happy to answer any questions we had. The jeep ride out to the desert is a fun experience and all eight of us enjoyed the trip immensely! Highly recommend - our sunset was not as superb as some but that did not detract from our overall enjoyment of the trip.

OTS Food Tour for the Win

Lots of walking and great food. Lots of facts about OTS - definitely a five star experience for us! Chris was awesome as our guide - he knows all about OTS and all the restaurants and history of the area. We really enjoyed learning about the birth of the town. We had a really small group which was also nice. We started at Los Olivos and I think we all agreed that was the best place to start because it set the stage really well for the rest of the evening. Even though it was super hot, we were able to plow through the evening and get indoors often. Every stop had great food and some treats along the way, including a chocolate malt.

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. -

I can fly!

It was a rush. At first, there's a little anxiety not knowing what to expect. When you fall forward into the wind tunnel, it is like WOW. I am flying high. The staff sre knowledgeable, personable and friendly. They put you at ease. They show you everything you need to know to be comfortable falling forward and just letting the wind take you up.

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.

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.

2 Hour Segway Tour - Sunset & City Lights

Kara_G, Dec 2025

A great way to see Scottsdale!

Highly recommend this tour! It was a unique way to see all of the hotspots in Scottsdale and hear fun facts and historical background from the tour guides. It was especially fun doing the holiday lights version and seeing the beautiful canal area all lit up. Our tour guides were so great. They were very patient as people got comfortable with their Segways. It was actually a lot easier to do than I expected! So fun!
