We had a great time. Our tour guide Derek was fantastic, talked to the group about the history of the Apache Indians, the trail and the mountains. The Dolly steamboat part was very relaxing and beautiful. Lastly, the food at Tortilla Flats was spectacular.

The trip was fabulous. It was exactly as written in the description. Eric our guide was excellent. He is a native of Phoenix so he knew the area and told us a lot of extra little things. Everything was organized well and everything went just like clockwork.
