Arches is a great place to visit with so many stops. The park has one way in and out (get there early - the lines could be very long). It’s all paved. The tour guide (who was from NY like we were was excellent). Friendly knowledgeable and personable. The ride was comfortable and he took our pictures and told us anything and everything we needed to know. A+ experience.

    My husband and I arrived to Moab by train so we didn’t have our car to see the sights. This 1/2 day tour of Arches National Park exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Alec, was knowledgeable, professional and very friendly. We really enjoyed the tour and recommend it to others.

    Our guide was very good. Stopped at all of the popular places you see and hear about and gave us great information about each one. He also pointed out formations with names given to them. I would definately recommend a guided tour.

    Darren was an excellent tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable about the area. He kept our group moving, but we never felt rushed. We were able to see so many key points of the park. He stopped to take photos for us at the most beautiful spots. I would absolutely recommend this tour!

    Alec and the Arches national park

    ThomasCachaza_C, Jun 2026
    It was a small group 6 of us in a comfortable air conditioned van and Alec was our guide. For a young guy he was very knowledgeable and genuinely personable with the group. There was no feigned interest in us and we could tell he liked taking about the park (Arches NP) and we all traded stories with him about himself and about us. He made it a truly enjoyable experience. Oh and by the way the park was fabulous.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Arches are beautiful!!

    Hunter_L, May 2026
    Informative but felt like a standard park tour. Could have driven this ourselves. Guide was knowledgeable but “dry”. Good to see the park in comfort this way, but did not feel as immersed as Canyonlands tour.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    We value your insights and are pleased you enjoyed the comfort of our tour. Your feedback about the guide and immersion is important, and we'll work to enhance those aspects for future guests.

    The Best Tour

    Dennis_H, May 2026
    Our group was led by Dedrick who was training Adam and Ervin. They were all so personable and knowledgeable. Dedrick was well acquainted with Arches National Park and was very helpful. Adam was so friendly and nice. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.

    Arches National Park in the Comfort of a Tour Van

    Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was amazing and we loved. The thing I didn’t like is that there was no entrance fee because of the government shoutdown and we still payed full price for the tour.

    Great experience and we'll looked after by our guide Nick, it was raining during our tour but Nick made us comfortable and kept us out of the rain and explain each stop and the walking required the stop at the visitor center is a must as it gives you a very good understanding of what you are about to see and how it was formed

    Dianne_H, Oct 2025
    They were a very organized company! They gave us a safety talk, told us to do and do nots of going into the national park. Nick and Sean were our guides and they were both very knowledgeable and pretty darn funny! They pointed out a lot of things you would not have seen if you were just driving through, you learned so much about the history of the park and how mother nature has a lot to do with making everything that’s in that park! They did a great job got us back on time. Only negative would be “Please wash your Windows”!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you so much, Dianne, for taking the time to leave this detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that Nick and Sean made your experience both educational and fun—our guides love sharing their passion and knowledge about the park's unique history and natural wonders.

    Mild to Wild Went Above and Beyond Expectations

    Eric_C, Oct 2025
    It was on my bucket list to go to Arches National park. I did some research and found a 1/2 day tour for the afternoon with Mild to Wild. This was not the tour group recommended as part of the package of my travel company, But I felt like they would be the best. They did not disappoint! First, I was having trouble getting to their starting location. It wasn't far from the main street, I could have walked there. But the Uber I had reserved backed out. Mild to Wild helped me get to their location and waited on my family before starting the tour. They didn't have to do that. Because I put them a little behind, The tour operator told me and the others in the group he wasn't going to skip anything. We were going to get the full package. It was a wonderful experience. We got to see balance rock, windows, elephants, delicate arch (short hike, not the 3 mile one), etc. We had time to start at the park gift shop. We had brought hiking sticks and there was a few walks we needed. The tour operator let us know when needed or not. They also provided water for us to refill our drinking bottles. We did have a smaller group, but I felt that the conversations about Arches and the history that the tour operator specifically talked about based on his cultural knowledge was on point. I would highly recommend Mild 2 Wild for a guided 1/2 day tour.

    Not to be missed

    Anne_D, Sep 2025
    Tour by 12 seater people carrier through fantastic scenery. So vast it's hard to describe. Has to be seen to be believed. Our guide Nick was very knowledgeable about the red rock formations and history of the area. He was very considerate of needs of older customers, when trail walks were available. The park is very well-maintained and visitors are obliged to keep it that way. Everyone was very friendly and proud of their land. Not to be missed.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour through the stunning scenery and that Nick provided a memorable and informative experience. We take pride in catering to all our guests' needs, and your comments about the care shown to our older guests mean a lot to us. We're proud of our team and our beautiful park, and we truly appreciate your support in helping us keep it so well-maintained. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
