Marilyn R. Phoenix City Tour

We had a very good city tour of Phoenix and the surrounding cities. I live in the Phoenix area and have my family from out of town visiting and requesting a tour of the Phoenix area. Our tour guide was Jon who was very knowledgeable and professional. He gave us lots of historical and other information about specific to the various cities including Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale. He was courteous, flexible and sensitive to our needs. Especially honored our request to include a stop for lunch (I had my elderly sister on the tour) and we could take the time we needed. He made our tour very interesting. The only area that I would like to see our guide be more attentive to: (especially in the first part of the tour prior to going downtown) we passed many areas that were interesting where I had to on multiple occasions prompt the guide to slow down and identify some points of interests that we were passing so my family could get a better view and understanding of what they were looking at. of some Despite that I would recommend this tour and will look into taking other tours with this company.

Thanks very much for taking our Phoenix highlights tour! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the excursion. As these tours are flexible from 4 to 5 hours, we were happy to stretch it to the 5 hour option including time for lunch. Many guests enjoy that flexibility. We will do our best to point out everything that we can along the way, and will note your comments about that. With Phoenix being very spread out over 500 square miles, it is tough to get it all in and stay on schedule, but we sure do try. We also have longer tour options, that are a bit slower pace, with more time for stops. It is a great city with a lot to cover. Thanks again!

We visited several sites...

We visited several sites in phoenix that were very interesting and we definitely could not have seen all the sights on our own in the same amount of time. Our guide was very sweet and had some knowledge of sites but often could not answer questions and had some difficulty with directions.

Operator response

Thanks very much for your feedback. Glad to hear that it was of benefit to see as much of the area as possible. We are very up front with guests that book this tour, about the nature of it, and how it compares to tours in other cities. Our Phoenix City Tours are a "highlights driving tour". A driving tour through the areas of ASU campus, Papago Park, Downtown Phoenix, the Capitol building, the Biltmore / Wrigley Mansion area, and Old Town Scottsdale. In other cities, it is easy to memorize every single factoid about a very specific area. Phoenix is VERY spread out and there is no way to answer all guest questions. That said, we are sorry this did not completely meet expectations. For potential guests, when booking this tour, be advised that we will share these details with you at booking, and make sure that this is what you are looking for. It is a general Phoenix highlights tour that covers a vast area, versus a very specific area focusing on one area of town.

Personal touch

While I had previously booked well over 50 tours through Viator all over the world Steve was the first one ever to call me the day that I booked the tour to ask questions about what we wanted for the tour so that he could plan. So when on the day of the tour when Jonathan showed up he knew exactly what we wanted to do and what our expectations of the tour were. He was well prepared and accomodating.

Custom Private City Tour of Phoenix

We had a wonderful city tour of Phoenix. Our tour guide, John, was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He gave us lots of information about the City he loves. He was courteous, flexible and sensitive to our time and our tour requests. He made our tour fun. We would recommend this tour and we will no doubt take another different tour with this group and hopefully have John as our tour guide in the future.
