We had an amazing Sunset tour with a guide named Sarah. She had a wonderful energy, was very knowledgeable about the Sonoran desert, took all the photos we ever wanted, and even opened up a teddy bear cacti for us to nibble on. We stayed warm in the Jeep since they had cozy blankets in the back, and it was easy to have conversations because the guide has a microphone. You can even jam your own music with Bluetooth throughout the ride. 5 star service and would highly recommend to any and all singles, couples, and groups!
