Pat C was hands down the best tour guide ever! We did a bachelorette group tour with him in October (I am catching up on everything. Lol) and he kept busy entertained the entire time. Highly recommend! He knows his stuff and was happy to answer all of our questions and take millions of photos for us :).

This was fantastic! The best part of our weekend trip. Steve was a fantastic tour guide, very informed and always wanted to make sure we were enjoying our time. The desert at sunset was just magical. Would highly recommend!

Nick was our tour guide last night. He does an awesome tour; knowledgeable about the vegetation, landscape, history of the area. We had a wonderful time; this was a sunset tour for my mom who is not active but wanted to see the desert. Nick made sure my mother was comfortable, helped her in/out of the Jeep, took it easy on some of the more rugged portions of the tour. The jeeps are clean, well maintained. The whole experience with Off-Road Jeep Adventures was professional; from any questions I had that were immediately answered (via text), up to date information concerning our tour, reminders delivered via text of location and time to the well groomed, friendly tour guides we met prior to getting into our assigned Jeep for the evening. I would highly recommend them for your Sonoran Adventure.
