My husband and I were visiting from out of town and was celebrating our anniversary. This was so much fun and memorable. Experiences make the best gifts. Highly recommend.

Cost does not justify what you actually get. I have traveled all over the world and experienced many activities that range in cost. In this case, $125 (w/ tax is $135) is overpriced for a jeep ride that lack substance. The jeep is great for the terrain but that's about it. The location is meh. The overall experience is meh. If you have experienced sunsets in the Grand Canyon, Hawaii, Spain or other locations, you will be disappointed. Nothing special. Not worth $135. For this particular tour, a fair price would be $75 per person tax included. This tour is overpriced for what you actually get. Not worth it. Nothing to write home about. Overpriced.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your honest feedback. Although we offer the lowest price among reputable off-road tour operators in the area, we strive to ensure that our guests receive an exceptional experience that exceeds the cost. As our tour description states, the sunset is weather dependent. As seen in pictures posted in the 5-star reviews of 1300+ previous travelers, some days our desert sunsets are spectacular; some days our desert sunsets are less spectacular than sunsets in the Grand Canyon, Hawai'i, Spain, or other locations. Since our desert sunsets are unpredictable and constantly changing, it is not possible to determine from one desert sunset that all future desert sunsets will disappoint future guests. I am sorry to hear that you felt that your tour lacked substance. Our tour guides go through extensive training and quality control to ensure that they can share an exceptional Sonoran desert narrative. I would not recommend this tour for those who are not interested in learning about Sonoran desert flora and fauna. Please feel free to email me directly at [email protected] to provide additional details about your tour. We take our reviews seriously and use them to constantly improve our product.
