We had an absolutely fantastic day on this Grand Canyon and Sedona tour, thanks largely to our guide, Mark L. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the region's geology, history, and Native American cultures, sharing fascinating facts throughout the drive that made the long journey fly by. His driving skills were exceptional, and he expertly navigated the scenic routes to maximize our time at every stop. Mark also knew all the best photo spots and ensured everyone in our small group felt comfortable and engaged. His professionalism and genuine passion for Arizona made this a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend requesting Mark L. for your tour!

unforgettable hot air balloon experience

I had an absolutely unforgettable hot air balloon experience. Our pilot, Jonathan, was skilled, friendly, and made the entire ride feel both safe and exciting. Floating above the landscape was breathtaking, and Jonathan’s commentary added so much fun to the journey. After we landed, the brunch was terrific—delicious food, great atmosphere, and surprisingly entertaining. This was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend!

3-Hour ATV and Shooting Combo

Nina_D, Feb 2026

Amazing time

The experience was absolutely amazing. My husband and I were in town for a business meeting and decided to celebrate out anniversary. The shooting experience before the UTV ride was so much fun. The staff Matt and other were amazing with explaining everything and ensuring everyone's safety. Rode all the way up the mountain in time to watch the sunset and take pictures. A must do! Go ahead and book you will not be disappointed. Only tip: be sure to drive or have a ride scheduled for pickup. It's hard to get Lyft or Uber in the middle of rather desert ( not the business fault. Just lesson learned). Have fun.

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.
