Did a full day (1/2 Arches & 1/2 Canyonlands) tour. Very well done from start to finish. Our guide/driver Dave was prompt courteous and knowledgeable. They used a Toyota Sequoia. IT was all well done. Tour was very fun and scenic. Saw lots of things that you would not on the regular park roads. Nice lunch and transition between parks. Would highly recommend them and would book them again without any hesitation. Well done!

We did a 4 hour 4x4 off road tour and thoroughly enjoy it. We were a bit apprehensive that it might be overly rough but that was not the case. The views were great! Our guide Dave L. enhanced the tour with stories and pointed out many interesting sights. He was professional ,informative and friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better guide.
