My partner and I joined Stephen and another couple on a 2-hr Desert Jeep tour and it was truly the highlight of our trip. I recommend this tour for anyone not familiar with the desert (like me). I'm sure he saved me a trip to the emergency room as I initially wanted to touch everything haha. Stephen was such a joy to ride with. He made us feel confident and safe on the tour as he is a retired pilot. He is knowledgeable about the area and you could tell he has a real passion and respect for Arizona. If you are second guessing it, go right along and book it. And ask for Stephen.

Let me start off by saying if you can request Shawn as your tour guide... DO IT! Shawn was a phenomenal tour guide for our sunset ride over the gorgeous Arizona desert. He kept us entertained and engaged the entire ride. The climb was awesome and the views were incredible. We will ABSOLUTELY be back.

Excellent experience. We had Sean take us through the desert. He was extremely knowledgeable: a true wilderness survivalist in every sense of the word. I learned so much about the Arizona terrain, geological and political history of the area, and so many cool and unique facts about plants and wildlife native to this region. If you want to see the Arizona desert, this is the company you should do it with
