Our ATV tour was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had! From start to finish, our guide made everything smooth, fun, and safe. They were super knowledgeable about the trails and scenery, pointing out cool spots and making sure everyone was comfortable no matter their experience level.
What really stood out was their energy—they kept the vibe fun the entire time while still being professional and organized. If you were nervous at first, they made sure you felt confident before hitting the trails. The route itself was amazing, with beautiful views and just the right mix of adventure and excitement.
If you’re thinking about booking an ATV tour, definitely ask for this guide—you won’t regret it! 10/10 experience, I’d absolutely do it again.

It was so much fun. Matt is an amazing tour guide. We started with a big group during the guided training but at the end of the training it ended up with just two of us on the guided tour. Both of us were nervous about the ATVs and he allowed us to drive the UTVs. He made us feel very comfortable and made it feel like we were on our own private tour. He was very knowledgeable about the area and takes great photos. Also, there were two incidents with other groups during our tour and Matt didn't hesitate to stop and help them. Highly recommend!!
Such a great experience! I went solo, but ended up making a friend and did the Q TV experience which was amazing. Our guide was Matt and he gave us a custom tour with stops to see amazing views and cactuses. He gave us a little more insight into the history of the area and different animals that could be seen such an amazing guide great experience 10 out of 10 would recommend anyone in the area.
Great experience. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Our tour guy was awesome( Landon ) was really good and informative.
Amazing people very helpful and energetic ! Had an amazing time on utvs ! Utvs were safer then the atvs
Exceptional. We showed up very early in the morning and were accommodated ASAP. Our guide Alex was very helpful and intellectual. Had wonderful conversations. As women we felt very comfortable! Would recommend this experience for everyone!
Wonderful from check in to completion! Matt was an amazing guide! We just had a great time! Take the UTV so you don’t bake in the sun!
It was very interesting everyone was so nice ❤️❤️ they were so accommodating to my illness they let me drive with the instructor :)
JB the tour guide is great!
The overall ATV experience was amazing and fun. Would definitely recommend everyone check it out.
A great time! 10/10 Chris was my tour guide he was very fun, knowledgeable, informative
This was a great experience for my birthday and would 100% do it again
It was an amazing experience, even as a first timer they made it quick and simple to understand. Definitely would recommend. Also make sure you hydrate constantly if you aren’t from familiar with this type of heat.
Sooooo much fun. Shout out to Bryan and Landon, amazing tour guides. The experience was great. It was definitely long but I didn’t mind it. I’d recommend doing it when it’s not so hot but I’d do it again.
This is one of my favorite excursions. Granted I don’t drive the atv I typically just ride with the guide but it was worth the ride! The views were immaculate. There was such a calm sensation being out in the mountains. Can’t wait to visit again.
It was an excellent experience. We rode ATV and UTV thru a rocky and hilly mountain pathway with breathtaking views. This is not for the faint of heart and does require physical capabilities and is a moderate work out for your body and mind.
The trails are very extreme but very fun. If your not very familiar with riding ATV's would recommend getting a UTV instead very fun and easier to drive.
A very exhilarating experience I would definitely do it!
It’s thrilling Hearts stopping time! I wanna go back and do it again!
That was one of the best guided tours. We literally were out in the desert. We rode up and hills and part of a mountain.
Just seeing all the beautiful scenery that arizona has to offer, it was amazing.
Prepare to get dirty,def not a get cute excursion but omg the best atv/utv ive been on. Host BJ was a great tour guide,super friendly and hi energy
ATV wasn't as easy I thought it would be, so we ended up in the car. That wasn't the issue.... we got lost in the course for roughly 25 - 30 minutes, because the guy in front of us couldn't keep up. Our guide didn't even check to make sure the we were all there. Some how we ended up on what I think was an advanced trail, and wasn't found till later. They should really consider posting signs for situations like this. We were completely blind out there.
Great Tour! Beautiful views! Great guides who were welcoming! Lorenzo was very kind and informative!
Our guide JB gave us great direction and lead us on a really fun trail. Amazing views. Great time. I would recommend anyone to use this company. Well run outfit.
Amazing time !!! Amazing staff’! Plenty of cold water! Beautiful pictures! Felt safe and had so much fun!!
The tour was guided by our amazing tour guide Lorenzo he was funny and informative. He kept everybody safe as the trails on some parts were challenging but he took us to places to take pictures and gave us water he was our photographer would definitely book again
New experience was great, that is my 1st for ATV here. So glad to have experienced with them and others
This was a 10/10 experience . Our guides were amazing we attended the 6am tour on 5/24 .. so glad we picked the 6am the temperature was perfect . Our guides were so knowledgeable helpful as well as encouraging . We are already talking about our next experience here next time we come back !
First off, amazing experience, amazing teachers, and amazing atmosphere altogether. I would return to do this 1000 times over. Take my MONEY ! lol.
Amazing! Just do it especially if you're nervous. It's not as bad as you think, although it's a bumpy ride with lots of hills!
Alex our guide was great. Very knowledgeable about the trail also the local plants and animals as well. This is a must do activity. Don't miss the chance to come and ATV, UTV, or do one of there combo adventures. Their ride and shoot combo seems interesting. That will have to be my next adventure with them.
A perfect experience
For first timers I recommend the guided
I don’t have a single complaint, I absolutely enjoyed my time
