Such a fun experience! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable, fun, and professional. And the tour-provided treats at the pinnacle were a nice perk! Definitely worth the price and a memorable experience.

Our sunset jeep tour in the Sonoran desert with Eddie our driver was absolutely fantastic. The terrain, the scenery was exquisite. The timing was perfect. Eddie was personable and smart and safe and very knowledgeable about all things in the desert including the cacti, the plants, the animals, and Arizona history. We had three moms and recent high school graduate daughters visiting Scottsdale for a long weekend as a graduation trip, and this Jeep tour at Sunset was the highlight of our visit.

Pat Clements was amazing!! He was our guide and he was amazing. My boyfriend and I loved our tour. We went on the Sonaran Desert Jeep Tour at Sunset at the end of May; it was perfect (went at the end of May) It was another couple and us on the tour and Pat was nice and knowledgable. We are from the east coast so we don't get to experience these types of views and we're not well versed in desert life but Pat explained about the wild and plant life. Gave us a great tour and took some amazing pictures. We were right and center for the great show: the sunset. Seeing the sky change colors and being in the middle of the AZ desert is indescribable; we were in awe. I would high recommend this tour.
