Kas was a great tour guide! She was very knowledgeable about the area, was thoughtful and fun! The jeep was fun and the views are amazing. It got a bit cold, but Kas had blankets, which was helpful.

Awesome experience traveling through desert paths that would otherwise be impossible to navigate or hike. Cam was amazing and her knowledge of the desert and cacti were endless! Well worth the price!
Dana_B, Mar 2026
We had an incredible experience with our guide, Cam. She was so knowledgeable about the desert and took the time to explain how everything in the desert has a function from the cactus to the animals that call the desert home. If you can request a guide, ask for Cam!!

This desert sunset jeep tour was incredible. Scottsdale Adventure tours, with Ed Mitchell as our driver, provided us with an amazing experience. We had breathtaking views of the desert at sunset with lots of information and commentary from our great driver. This is an experience you won’t forget. We highly recommend Scottsdale adventure tours and Ed Mitchell.

Excellent outing with family. Beautiful Sonoran sunset. Our driver Marty was knowledgeable and friendly, as was the rest of the staff — who went above and beyond to make us comfortable and provide a good experience. A highlight of our trip to Scottsdale!

We included this tour as a fun outing during our leadership retreat, and it was great! It was so nice to escape to the desert, learn some history about the area, and have an adventure together.

It’s such a great experience! Make sure you are dressed properly depending on the season. It does get chilly.

Our family absolutely loved this jeep tour! The sunset was perfect, and we could not get enough of the beautiful terrain. Our tour guide Ed was amazing - we couldn't have asked for a better evening!

Our guide was “Killer” Kaz and she made the experience fun, interesting and worth every penny!
Kaz is the person you want to sit next to in a bar on either the day you got that new promotion or the day you had to put your dog “to sleep”.
The desert was absolutely spectacular! And Kaz taught us all sorts of information that will come in handy when I get selected for Sonoran Survivor!!
If you are coming to Scottsdale by yourself or traveling with your family, including your mother in law, who never liked you and is happy to be disappointed in you and your life choices….then you absolutely must bring the entire group on this tour. The kids will be fascinated, your know it all brother in law will be stunned silent for once and even your Mother in law is going to reluctantly smile and have to admit how much she liked Kaz! As you can imagine, that’s going to make your wife very happy!! She might even show you some affection like she used to before you were married.
You can thank me later.
Michelle_N, Dec 2025

Sights were gorgeous, guide Marco was informative and it was exactly what I was looking for as a solo traveler.
Tiffany_C, Dec 2025
Alan was a terrific guide! He made sure I got great pictures of the sunset. He gave a lot of information about the history, animals and vegetation. The weather was perfect. It did a little chilly, around 60 degrees when the sun went down, so I would advise to take a jacket if visiting in the winter. A great experience!
Charles_R, Dec 2025
