We did the Sunset Jeep tour the second weekend in May, not too terribly hott yet. Our tour guide, Trevis, was definitely the highlight of this experience. If you plan on doing a tour, ask for Trevis! He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the desert it made the jeep tour extra special. We came with a group of 11 girls for a bachelorette party, I highly recommend the 14 person rider to all be together if traveling in a large group! I really didn't know what to expect for the tour, never being to Arizona and coming all the way from Michigan. But from day one, with everyone I talked to at the office trying to plan the trip-to the day of the actual tour, with a driver to pick us up at our Airbnb and drop us off after, I give Off-Road jeep adventures a 5/5. The sunset tour was exceptionally beautiful!!

Trevis was an amazing guide!!! It was a very informative and peaceful adventure. Trevis’ clearly loves his job, and was very knowledgable about the flora and fauna of the Sonoran desert. My highlight was watching the sunset as a group. I would highly recommend this tour to others, and having Trevis as the guide would be a must-have. By the end of the tour, I felt very at happy and at-peace

Our tour guide Cam was awesome! She was very knowledgeable about the Tonto National Forest and Arizona in general. The off-roading experience was so much fun and the sunset was breathtaking!My fiancé and I highly recommend Off Road Jeep Adventures for anyone looking for a fun activity in Arizona. Be sure to ask for Cam!
