I was a little nervous to do this, but it was so much fun. Our guide, Angie, was great. I totally trusted her as she handled the terrain. She was funny and had a lot of interesting information and stories about the area. I am so glad my son suggested doing this!

I use a crutch, and Dave assisted every stop to get my crutch. INVALUABLE help. It was great views/sights I would never have seen otherwise! And 2 hours is the perfect amount. It's excellent for folks with mobility issue - it's great, the tour guide does everything.

    A great adventure! Going in the spring (April) was beautiful. The landscape was so green! There was a lot of offroading traffic and our guide did a great job. He was knowledgeable of the area, and happy to share his local knowledge.

    Was an absolute blast. Dave was very knowledgeable and funny. Best tour guide and would recommend to anyone whos in the area to do it.

    No Way

    Sharon_S, May 2026
    I was so disappointed. first of all, I showed up and it's somebody's house. there's no signs advertising it as a business, there were three, four wheelers, no other vehicles, and no one else showed up. it certainly didn't feel safe for me as a single senior woman to take a four-wheeler ride from someone's house with people. I didn't know when I was going to be the only one there. I waited for other people to show up for 20 minutes and no one came. I ended up going home because it wasn't safe, it wasn't professionally advertised, and there is no way that this should have happened. I would like my money back.

    Great time bouncing around the canyon!

    Dave e Great guide. He scaled back the adventure to meet our physical limitations without making us feel like we missed out. Almost cancelled because of the heat. So happy we did not. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Off Road to Canyon via “disappearing” trails

    Mary_B, Mar 2026
    Off road adventure is truly, off road … trails can be quite uneven and rocky - it was exactly what we were looking for, but may not be for everyone. The guides were more than accommodating, experienced and knowledgeable.

    Great Adventure!!

    Tim_E, Feb 2026
    Dave did a fantastic job of driving and conversation/education. Great scenery, fun trail climbing. Definitely an outstanding adventure

    Wild ride with great views

    MaryElizabeth_I, Jan 2026
    Really great way to see the natural beauty of Arizona. Fun ride and we went to areas I never would have been able to get to on my own.

    Great excursion with a...

    Linda_M, Dec 2025
    Great excursion with a great guide. Dave was an expert at navigating this off road experience. Highly recommended if you’re interested in seeing the back road terrain of the canyon. Get’s pretty bumpy but worth it to see the beautiful landscape.

    We booked a last minute...

    Jay_F, Nov 2025
    We booked a last minute tour with Andy and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend if you are looking to be immersed in the mountains learning about the rocks, plants, animals and the history of the area. The bonus was the incredible photo ops along the way. He also gave us recommendations after our trip on where to drive, eat, and see more of the beautiful mountains of the Tonto National Forest. A good time was had by all. 5-stars

    Mountains of Andy History

    Dan_O, Oct 2025
    You can learn a lot about the history of Arizona not just the deserts and the mountains especially if you tour with Andy.

    Awesome

    Heather_P, May 2025
    Absolutely, wonderful experience. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and yeah, showed us a really fun time.

    Fun, exciting and educational, too!

    Harold_B, Apr 2025
    What a great way to have fun while seeing beautiful scenery and learning about the plants and animals in the Tonto National forest. Ryan was a terrific guide and a great driver. We couldn’t get enough of the spectacular scenery as we bumped along! Ryan would stop whenever we asked and had several planned stops. Great way to see this part of Arizona.

    Good family fun.

    Rebecca_B, Mar 2025
    This was a fun experience. Learned lots of great info about the environment. Driver was super friendly and made it a fun time for my kids. I will say they talk about seeing animals but I think larger animals are very rare to see. We did see a squirrel, a couple lizard and birds. Great views. Really no hiking at all. You get out for photo ops at a few stops. Nice that water and soda are included. Heads up that Under 18 must wear a helmet. You will get dusty!

    Very knowledgeable...

    Linda_H, Mar 2025
    Very knowledgeable guides!! Very friendly!! Exciting ride and the scenery was amazing!!!! Will definitely do this again!!!

    Very nice! Guide was nice...

    Purva_P, Mar 2025

    Bulldog Canyon Tour

    This is a tour. You don’t operate a UTV. It’s a tour with great views. Ryan is very informative. You have to really listen because the noise from the UTV makes it hard to hear. Headsets for communication would work well.

    Loved it

    Peggy_G, Feb 2025
    My friend and I enjoyed the trip very much and Ryan was a great tour guide. Bring a bandana or buff to cover your nose as you will get dusty— head to toe. Loads of fun to ride in the off road vehicle.

    Best Excursion during our trip

    Tom_H, Feb 2025
    This was an awesome trip! Well worth the time and money. Ryan was a great guide and was very knowledgeable about the area and the environment. Perfect weather helped also!

    Our guides Ryan and RJ were terrific. Very knowledgeable and fun. It's a must do. If you are in the area. It will not let you down.

    An incredible getaway near the city-

    Stacey_Z, Dec 2024
    Beautiful scenery…. You will get dusty so be prepared . Somewhat bumpy. Obviously . The vehicle was newer and clean - awesome. Our tour guide was RJ. He was a very pleasant and informative , personable young man: He told us all about the land and the plants. We stopped as often as we wanted for photos. Pictures don’t do it justice: it was around 2 hours - not too long and not too short tho it’s hard to leave such beautiful landscape. Would definitely recommend this tour: allows everyone to see all of natures beauty without having to navigate. Thanks RJ- we enjoyed every minute !!!

    Outstanding day!!!

    Michael_B, Dec 2024
    Outstanding experience! We were blown away by the beauty we witnessed. From the moment we met our guide Ryan we knee this was gonna be a highlight of our vacation. He was courteous, professional and above all else down to earth. It felt like we were out with a friend.

    Mountain off road adventure

    Dawn_G, Dec 2024
    Dennis was an amazing guide. He was knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our experience awesome.

    Beautiful vistas, desert landscape & great guide!

    Donna_B, Nov 2024
    This was a wonderful tour. We were the only guests so the tour became private. The desert landward beautiful and our guide RJ was very knowledgeable. Hiked up some areas to get incredible vistas. We really enjoyed the day!

    Information and pretty.

    Jessica_L, Oct 2024
    We had a Great experience, very informative, great views and great pictures. 😊 I would recommend 100%

    AZ Scenery and Wildlife

    Diane_Z, Jun 2024
    Ryan our tour guide was great and informative! He takes some pictures and posts on Facebook after tour. Very nice vehicle! The mountains, plants, Saguaros, etc., were beautiful. We loved seeing at least two families of quails with their young and the rest of the wildlife out in the morning June heat. It was a very fun ride with some stops. When we come back to AZ, we'd do again or possibly check out one of their other tours.

    Unique ride through the desert

    Thomas_P, May 2024
    Ride through parts of the protected (permits required) Tonto National Forest. Seeing the desert up close is even better than seeing it from a distance.

    Exciting, safe, fun, enjoyable

    Kylee_S, May 2024
    Amazing tour guide! We booked this last minute and the guides were very attentive to our needs! Our guide was the absolutely best! He was kind, timely, knowledgeable and provided us with an amazing experience!
