Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Day Tour from Phoenix

Ashanti_G, Sept 2026

Amazing Tour to Page Arizona

Let me start by saying to arrive on time. I arrived 10 mins late at meeting area. Be mindful of everyone else that arrived early or on time. Naala our driver and guide is professional and awesome. She communicated the arrangements one day in advance and the same day. She responded to messages promptly. The trip was worth the value. Naala provided ample snacks and water. She set the right expectations and has a good rapport with sites we visited. Safe driver and our van was clean. I want to return back with my family Naala thank you for an amazing time.

Enjoyed Very Much!

My friends and I loved this tour! It was super organized and our guide was a gem- full of knowledge and had the best personality. We did this tour in the middle of a heat wave, but we still had the best time. It was a great way to start our trip in Phoenix.

Floating on Air

The entire experience was well organized and executed by the entire Arizona Balloon Safari team. Pick up at the meeting point was straightforward, the time in the air was phenomenal thanks to Scott the extremely experienced pilot who took us up a whooping 7,500 feet, to the smooth landing and mimosa toast and breakfast snacks to conclude the adventure. It was an overall fantastic outing that my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed!

Phoenix Hot Air Balloon Ride at Sunrise

Kristin_B, Aug 2026

One of the coolest things I've ever done!

It was one of the coolest things I've ever done! It's so peaceful. And smooth. It didn't feel like we were floating in a basket almost 8,000 feet in the sky! Kyle was a great pilot. He was funny and knowledgeable. This was a bucket list item for me and I'd definitely do it again sometime! It was fantastic!

Grand Canyon with Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon Van Tour

This tour is the absolute...

This tour is the absolute best tour I have ever been on. It is worth every penny. I love that it takes the stress out of everything meaning picking me up and dropped off at my hotel vs renting a car. The tour guide was the best, very informative and you can absolutely tell he loves what he does. This trip is all day don't plan nothing until night time. Its about 4 hours to get to the Grand Canyon and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Along the way we made pitstops to use restrooms and get snacks. After arriving to the Grand Canyon it was about an hour and a half then we had lunch went to oak creek and made more pitstops along the way before heading to Sedona and it was so beautiful. Overall experience 10/10 would highly recommended.

Originally planned the self guided ATV’s but ended up having a guide go with us. Our guide was Landen and he was great. He made the experience a blast for our entire group of 12. Took us to all the cool spots and taught us a lot about the desert. Highly recommend having a guide, and ask for Landen.

Ancient Ruins Tour - Guided Arizona Desert Tour by UTV

Anna_D, Jun 2026

We had a great experience...

We had a great experience with this adventure in the desert! Our guide, Bryan with a "Y" was our guy. Very knowledgeable, personable, kind, ready to answer all our questions. We didn't want to rent a car, so we used Uber from our hotel in Phoenix to get to and from the tour's location. The UTV vehicles are well kept and fun to drive, I wrapped our bags with disposable plastic bags, because the dust gets literally everywhere. We kept the two masks that were provided to us on at all times while driving. The place is definitely worth visiting, even though the ruins are not as expansive as I had imagined, the scenery is breath-taking and we learned a lot about the vegetation and history within a few hours.

Kim_E, Jan 2026

Amazing excursion for teenagers!

We just enjoyed this experience on Jan. 16, 2026 while we were in Phoenix for our sons’s club volleyball tournament. It was better than we could ever have imagined-Chris was a fabulous tour guide, teaching us about the area and its history. The dune buggies were amazing to drive! Our 17 year old had more fun with this than driving ATV’s in Honduras last summer. We highly recommend this tour-sunset was beautiful!

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

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.
