This is a great way of seeing places around Phoenix when you can't drive yourself. Allie was very informative and her commentary was good. I also liked the mix of cities and desert. One thing, the tour description implies longer stops on the 3.5 hr tour as opposed to the 2.5 hr tour which is why I booked it, and Allie even implied this was the case in a text to me, but in practice the two tours were conducted together in the same vehicle and the only difference was lunch at the end. It was a nice lunch but not worth the full extra expense of the 3.5 hr tour vs the 2.5 hr tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for your feedback.
I apologize that the longer tour was not what you were expecting the value to be. Please let me know what you feel the fair price would have been for the longer tour.
I will review that to look into refunding you the difference. I want to make sure you feel you were treated fairly.
Sincerely, Allie

The trip gave me an overview of the district and without my own vehicle, I was able to see places that I otherwise couldn’t get to. Local information was interesting and Allie was open to answering any questions.

The personal touch of Allie, pick up at the hotel, small group activity, shortened time frame so that a person can quickly squeeze this in their schedule. The small breaks in between for pictures or souvenir shopping. The three cities tour gives a person a quick and sufficient impression of the area.

A great tour to get an overview of Scottsdale, Tempe and the Arts District, with a little bit of nature thrown in as a bonus. Allie is a great tour guide who takes care of her customers and shows a passion for her business. Delicious street taco lunch at the end as well. Highly recommend!

My mom and I did the 3 Cities & Nature Tour. Our tour guide Allie was exceptional. She was super friendly and knowledgeable. With the heat being what it was, Allie had umbrellas for us and unlimited cold water. We couldn't have enjoyed it more. I would highly recommend this tour. Thanks Allie for an amazing time.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
It was such a pleasure meeting you both and showing you the sights. Comfort is certainly a priority to me with making sure all my guests are staying cool and hydrated.
To be honest, I thought your mom was your sister when y’all first hopped in the van!
Thank you for leaving such a kind review.

The Sonoran Desert was great. Lots of interesting facts. Loved Hole in the Rock. In cooler temps, will go for a walk on the trail.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
So glad you had fun! The Sonoran Desert is such a beautiful place to enjoy. And the unique mountains, like Hole in the Rock, have a lot of guests coming back for more.
I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review!

Allie is fabulous- she pours so much thought into the details. Never met a kinder soul! The tour was well organized with tons of historical information. Even my 16 year stayed engaged. Loved all the street art and little surprises along the way. Excellent way to get to really know the tri-city area. thanks a million Allie!!!

Was not sure quite what to expect, but WOW! I saw so much on this tour. Desert animals, historic buildings, so many mountains. I even tasted cactus. Beautiful jewelry in Scottsdale shops. Allie was so friendly. I would highly recommend this to any solo traveler.

I can’t say enough about this adventure. Allie was so accommodating. Ice cold bottles of water, huge back of snacks, asking all along the way if we were comfortable or needed anything. Each city was so different from each other. Western shops and saloons in Scottsdale, big paintings in Phoenix, breathtaking views in Tempe. And the food!!!! I always love to try local food. Lunch was so delicious. So much cool information about desert plants and animals, history and fun facts.
Thanks, Allie, for an experience I will never forget.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a nice review! So glad you enjoyed the tour and all the cool places. Definitely something for everyone. I hope you have a fantastic rest of your summer.

The worst guide tour from Viator Nice lady with knowledgeable. However she was not interested in showing the 3 cities as a guide tour The 3 cities were very very close to each other. We were 2 guests with 5 hours She showed Desert Sonoran. Some flowers cactus and some birds She did not stop in Tempe. And drove us to Old Scottsdale at 9:45. The stores only open at 10:00. Pickup at 10:30 drive to the Worst place to eat, Tacos Folia near to Ro Ro Quesadilla with some meat without cheese. Not souer cream. No salsa No chips I never had so BAD food and worst tour for $168.00. For the price that I paid and the service that was offered I could eat at Ruth’s Chris and hire an Uber I will be much more happier I would like to have my money back in full or partial I have been travelled all over the world with Viator with good experiences I will contact Viator to discuss this situation and solve this case. Please do not let your tourists go to that restaurant and had a very bad food You need to show the BEST OF THE CITY of Phoenix and the state of Arizona that I fall in love After much consideration I decided to describe my bad feelings about this tour I hope other people do not feel the same. Have a great summer.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
My deepest apologies the tour was not what you hoped it would be. I have issued you a full refund.

Hubby and I had such a great time on this tour. Allie was an informative, caring and just overall professional tour guide. She took such good care of all of us, there was about 8 of us total. She offered us unlimited ice-cold water, snacks and had umbrellas for all of us. She paid attention to every detail. She shared information with us from Arizona, the mammals, the reptiles, the insects, the flowers, the flag. She allowed plenty of time for us to walk around and wander as well. She was very engaging and the tour was just the right time and lots of variety. The lunch that was included was very tasty and authentic. I would recommend this tour to anyone, it was truly a lovely experience. Saw so much in such a short time.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such an amazing review!
It was an absolute pleasure showing you around.
I do my very best to ensure everyone is comfortable in the Summer heat. Air conditioned vehicle, ice water and plenty of shade. Tricks of comfort in the desert.
Glad you enjoyed the local cuisine, too. Tacos Calafia does it right every time.
Sending good vibes your way!
Big smiles!

Allie was great tour guide, knowledgeable, helpful and very nice. She made the day enjoyable. We enjoyed being able to see Hole in the rock mountain - would have enjoyed going closer to it . The art district was cool to go through so that was a nice addition.

Allie was very knowledgeable about the various artists who had work on display in the art district. She was equally as knowledgeable about the plant life, etc of the valley. I liked that she had snacks as well. The tour was just right.

Great way to see three different areas near Phoenix and get in a bit of shopping and dining. Tour guide was informative and fun and we had a great time. This is a good way for those who don't want to do a ton of walking to get around and see the town.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
These cities are all so unique. I’m so glad you enjoyed yourself. I always encourage people to go at their own pace, so it’s comfortable for everyone. Plenty of places to sit and rest.
Thanks so much for leaving such a nice review. Big smiles. Allie :)
