Our group of 7 (4 adults, 3 kids) did the private half day tour with Phil from Philadelphia. Phil was a great guide with interesting stories and facts about the landscape, vegetation, and wildlife. Our vehicle fit the 7 of us comfortably and the back row was able to see the views just fine. We would never have reached the beautiful places ourselves! Highly recommend!

This was with Xtreme 4 X 4 Tours and our guide was Zed Holloway. It turned out we were the only people booked on the tour so we had the guide to ourselves and to cap it off he was accompanied by Phil who was a trained guide who had not worked in Moab for a few years and was doing a bit of a refresher. Both were a mine of information and we went on some pretty hair raising 4 WD tracks. The whole experience was incredible and informative. Two genuine, knowledgeable guides who clearly love their jobs and their country. The stunning desert scenery was awe inspiring.
