Excellent Tour and Guide

Absolutely stunning tour of the Apache Trail and Superstition Mountains. Breathtaking views and David, our guide, was full of great information. The Apache Trail is paved for about 1/2 the way and then turns to a (well-maintained) gravel/dirt road. We really got out into the wilds and it was just breathtaking views. David was really personable and very professional. Can't recommend enough.

Private Half-Day Apache Trail Tour

This was our second tour with David and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We visited Goldfield, a ghost town, and stopped for an excellent lunch at Tortilla Flat, then continued our drive through beautiful desert scenery. David has such a pleasant demeanor and is knowledgeable about the area- the plants, animals, and history.
