    Very enjoyable tour. Led by Tom, owner of the tour service. Pick-up at our hotel was right on time. Opted for a scenic route because my wife was not up for a shake-and-bake tour that would allow the Hummer to really strut its stuff. However, we came down the mountain through some challenging canyons that were a blast. The scenery was excellent. Tom continuously filled us in on everything from the history of Prescott and surrounding area to interesting facts about the geology and geography we were passing through. Quite a worthwhile experience!

    Angry Ape Off Road Tours

    We toured Prescott National Forest with Angry Ape Off Road Tours Prescott AZ. Tom was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and gave us an incredible ride through the beautiful Prescott forest. I highly recommend touring with Angry Ape Off Road Tours.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thanks for the kind words. We enjoyed having you.

    Awesome Off-Roading Adventure!

    Kristin_M, Sep 2025
    My husband & I had a fabulous time with John! He was such a knowledgeable and fun guide/driver, and it's clear he's not only intimately familiar with the area but genuinely loves it. We took some wild routes through the forest that our own car would never have survived. While the wildlife wasn't out in abundance, we did see some deer and a wild turkey. This is an excellent tour to experience nature a whole different way. Highly recommend!

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thanks Kristin. We take to heart when our guests enjoy the tours we provide. John always tries to make each tour special.

    Great way to see Prescott, Arizona

    Bree_B, Jun 2025
    Here’s a polished review you can use: My son and I had an incredible off-road adventure through the Prescott National Forest! Our tour guide, Tom, was absolutely fantastic — friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the Prescott area. He shared fascinating insights into the local history and nature that really enriched the experience. Despite the rough terrain, Tom always made us feel safe and in good hands. And as a bonus, his collection of dad jokes kept us laughing the whole ride! Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Prescott with a guide who clearly loves what he does.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thanks so much for spending time with us here at Angry Ape Off Road. We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour

    November Tour

    Great scenic tour on a road we wouldn't have dared take our own 4-Wheel Drive on. Our guide, John, was knowledgeable and fun. We'd do it again!

    Barry_R, Apr 2024
    The hummer we rode in was impressive as it traveled over rough paths and through water. Our guide, Tom, was a great guy and made the ride extra interesting. Would recommend!

    Friendly & knowledge staff … it was amazing. This is not a one and done — will take this adventure again next time we’re in Prescott. Don’t miss it!

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Thanks so much. It’s gotta be one of the best places for sunsets in Az

    Do it!

    Tammie_O, Aug 2023
    You know how you sometimes get that certain “feel” of comfort meeting someone for the first time? We felt that way with Tom, like we knew him for a while. He is such an amazing people person and makes you feel comfortable from the start! His knowledge of the area as well as his personal stories and safety consciousness made our trip with him a memorable one! Mahalo nui loa Tom! A hui hou 🌺

    Kim_F, Dec 2022
    Going off roaming, especially the very less traveled “roads” we took was a bucket list item of mine. It was the perfect beautiful and majestic tour to check that off. Thank you Tom, it was awesome and you are fabulous!!

    A Fresh Twist on Mountain Air

    Jayme_B, Dec 2021
    What could be better than a fresh twist on mountain air, and a victorious climb through hard to reach trails in the Prescott National Forest - all by the comfort of a Hummer?! Tom, our tour host, was very hospitable, professional, and made my boyfriend and me feel at ease on our first off road trip ever! I would highly recommend giving this a try...adventure awaits!
