From arrival to departure, this was an incredible experience! John was our guide and he went above and beyond with his enthusiasm, storytelling, desert facts, and provisions (even hair ties!) the views and photo ops were exceptional. We would have loved to have John go out to have a beer with us afterward, but he had to get home to his lucky wife! 😊 Do the tour!

Thank you to Jon for making our sunset Jeep tour so much fun and so informative. Jon was a wealth of knowledge and he was so outgoing. He provided us with everything we didn’t know we needed- hair ties (it gets windy), blankets, snacks, water and so much information about Arizona, the desert, and the plants and animals. He took beautiful photos for us as well. We will always have fond memories of this amazing sunset Jeep tour. Highly recommend!
