I went to Arizona alone and didn’t know where to go. This was the best money I spent, even if it was only for 2 hours...for the first time I forgot about Covid. Cam knows a whole bunch of facts about the area. I got to see tarantula holes, jack rabbits, the inside of a cactus...I even got to taste it. Beautiful sunset. Very peaceful. Dress warm. Cam took my photos of me just in case I wanted to post my trip. Definitely would recommend booking this!

We had a wonderful time with our tour guide, Cam! The views were gorgeous and we had a blast in our bumpy ride. Cam was so knowledgeable about the desert and shared so many amazing facts— thank you for a great time, Cam!

Highly recommend this tour! We had a great guide named Hans, who was very informative about all the wild life and plants found throughout the tour. We got to the destination about 10 minutes from sunset and we’re able to fully watch it go down. Hans also provided blankets which was much needed since it got very cold. Overall it was a great tour that I would recommend to everyone.
