I was really excited about this tour, until we spent the first two hours of the day driving around picking up the other 8 people on the tour, and then getting back to our car two and half hours later than planned. A better use of tour time, so could allocate time where needed would be central pick up/drop off. Tour guide rambled and contradicted himself. We did not have time for lunch at Marina as promised and Tortilla flats was so crowded we would not have had much eating time there. The Dolly Steamboat was the best part of this tour, but again, Google and make your own arrangements. We were given a mere 30 minutes at Goldfield, which was no where long enough. I let the company know right away how disappointing and a waste of time this day was, and their response was a $40 refund on a $240 day. Better than nothing, but not a trip I would suggest. Not having 4 plus hours of pick up and drop off would greatly improve trip, as well as a better guide that actually talked about the history, the flora, etc instead of himself. For the amount of $$ this tour was, save it and take yourself, read history and trivia on your own.

Hi Tess,
We apologize you did not enjoy your tour on the Apache Trail. In regards to the pick up and drop off situation, we were waiting 30 minutes at your designated pick up spot, which means the other 6 people were waiting on you. Obviously this changed our timing of the entire tour. Of course it is our goal to accommodate ALL GUESTS and we do this to the best of our ability. On a normal basis, the first guest picked up is also the first guest dropped off, however since you we're late to your meeting point, we had to reevaluate our route to best satisfy the group as a whole. Generally we do not wait more than 15 minutes at a location, but we wanted to get you out on tour to enjoy the day! Thank you for your time and feedback.
