In one word....Excellent! We took the off road tours of both Arches and Canyonlands and a river tour as well. The Navtec guides were professional, very knowledgeable, helpful, flexible, enthusiastic, and fun! It was a great time!

Started off bleak as my there was a mistake in my reservation but the staff worked hard to resolve the problem. Mistakes happen but great customer service makes all the difference in the world and they fixed everything! I forgot the guides name (great young man from Maryland) made my back to back tours of Canyonlands and Arches a totally great time! Highly recommended as you will not see many of the views without a 4x4 tour

Just visited Moab on 2 different days as we were staying in Gateway, CO. We did the
Canyonlands Tour with Phil and Rocky and the Arches Tour with Rocky and another guide. These 2 trips were phenomenal and gorgeous scenery! Loved Rockyās snacks each trip and the water provided. Philās fun personality made the ride entertaining. What an exciting tour and we learned so much about the areas! Thanks to the guides and their expertise! The type of visit wasnāt listed above but was a family with adult children!! We would definitely recommend this company again!!
