Excellent tour of Scottsdale backcountry. Off-roading where most people don't go. Our tour guide, Michael Church- 5 Star ++++++
Stacey was an excellent guide. She has tremendous knowledge and an awesome personality. We highly recommend her.
Wren and Michael were fantastic tour guides! We learned so much about the history of the valley and survival adaptations of the plants and animals! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a friendly and comfortable tour of the desert!!
My team and I took the Great Western Trail Jeep tour on Saturday. It was so educational and exciting. We saw so many beautiful things including the river, the trail where the US army watched and waited for Geronimo and of course the incredible plant life and its history. This tour was incredible. The Jeeps are very comfortable, and we were even provided with snacks. I would highly recommend this trip to families, corporate groups and individuals. What a wonderful, authentic experience.
What a fantastic experience with our fun and informative guide, Stacey. We had a comfortable jeep for our group and Stacey provided excellent content about the Tonto National Forest including the Sonoran Desert. Beautiful scenery and also a nice stop to see the Rio Verde river. She is an excellent driver and kept us entertained the whole day. Fun experience.
Michael, our tour guide was fantastic! He showed us so many different things answered all of our questions. We had an awesome time!
"Big D" was an absolute delight as a host. Friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. We learned a ton about the Sonoran desert and surrounding area, including the mountains, wildlife, plants, and history. Being picked up and dropped off at our hotel was also convenient. If you want an engaging storyteller and tour of the area, this is the excursion for you. If you want to mindlessly go off-roading and tearing up the landscape, then look elsewhere. We left this tour with deep respect for the land, flora, and fauna.
