What an amazing experience! I highly recommend this adventure and encourage you to ask for Max as your tour guide. Max has such a caring,nice and knowledgeable personality. You could really see his love and passion for what he does by the way he would describe the plants and animals of the dessert. Not to mention he was so patient taking pictures of us girls! (Can you imagine how hard it is for 4 girls to agree on a good pic? Lol) Max welcomed questions about the tour and was such a pleasure to be around. Ohhhhh and the beer, well that was a nice bonus! =)

Just did the tour this past weekend. It was a mandatory family fun event. It was so fun. We all had a great time. The ride was a little wilder than expected and that just added to the fun. Max was full of great information and we all learned lots. Sunsets are breathtaking. Thank You for the memories that were created.

This off road jeep tour was a beautiful and unique experience, watching the sunset and the moon-rise in a 360 degree desert panorama. Our driver, Julie, handled the off road jeep with skill while sharing interesting and humorous details on desert wildlife and plant life. When we reached the plateau Julie took us on a short, personal walking tour while we sipped refreshments and watched the sunset light the sky on fire. Julie was personable, very knowledgeable and knows the desert like she’d lived there in a past life. It is evident she enjoys her job. All the drivers seemed to be equally entertaining as laughter floated across the plateau during the sunset stop. Would definitely take this off road jeep tour again when I next visit Scottsdale.
