This was the perfect experience for my family and I. It was a great way to explore and learn more about the area. We were every pleased with the staff and would highly recommend!
Thanks so much for the kind words and recommendation, Mackenzie!
Jeff was an incredible guide for our tour. He was super knowledgeable about the area, he was friendly and funny, and he knew the perfect spot to see the sunset.
We’re so glad you enjoyed our Sunset Tour and Jeff’s guide work along the way! Thanks for sharing these insights.
This is a must do if you are in the area. James our tour guide was on point. A real professional. It was our first time on E-bikes and James made sure that we were ready to go. This was the highlight of our trip. Thanks James Your Jersey friends Mac and Jen
You guys were sure fun, and a pleasure to tour with. Thanks for your input and insights, Jen & Mac!
Highly recommend. What a great way to explore Saguaro National Park, learn from smart and passionate guides, and feel like a kid again as you fly down hills on your bike. We had a small group of 6 led by Carol who was an extremely fun and knowledgeable guide. The two hours were broken up with very frequent stops to take pictures, stat hydrated (although with the bike wind you never felt hot), learn about the desert, and even take very short optional nature hikes in the middle. Most of the tour route is on a one- way road with very little car traffic and speed limits of 20 - your bike can go faster than the cars. If you want to go slow and take your time, this tour might be a good way to pre-explore the route, then go back later to hike and explore the areas again later. Overall, a wonderful and fun way to explore that felt unhurried, safe, and unique.
Thanks for the detailed review - - some really thoughtful points here, Daniele! We’re glad to have Carol.
It was a nice ride. Not very challenging. The views were beautiful and the guide was knowledgeable. Bring plenty of water and wear sunscreen. There is no shade.
Thanks for coming out with us, and good insights here, Allyson! The summer heat is coming.
My wife and I booked a tour and the owner James our tour guide. The communication ahead was was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the 2.5 hrs we spent exploring Saguaro National park. We would highly recommend this experience.
Thanks for the high recommendation, Kelly, and I was happy to help your Tour go well. Thank you for your business!
James and Carol were great at getting us used to the e-bikes! They were very patient. Carol was the lead on the tour and did an amazing job of explanations and descriptions of the several places we stopped on our E-bikes. Thanks Carol!
We’re happy to have organized a beautiful tour and that Carol’s help really contributed to that. Thanks for coming out with us!
The ride is easy with many stops. No worries if you don’t do a lot of bike riding. James gave helpful info about the plants and wildlife in the park and some history of the area. The road that you ride on does have car traffic but the speed limit is low and it’s a one way loop.
So glad we helped provide an excellent adventure for you, Jamie! Thanks for the good insights here.
We had Jeff as a guide today and he was great! There was time to practice riding the very high-quality e-bikes before hand, which proved to be well worth the time. He took us on amazing tour, stopping frequently along the way to teach us about the animal and plant life. Lots of photo ops. The e-bikes were fabulous, and enabled you to cover a lot of ground without maximum exertion. All in all, a great trip. Tips: Bring water bottles to store in a mini bag on the bike. Bring cash for a tip. Pick an early ride to limit heat exposure
So nice we provided a fabulous time for you guys, and for the valuable tips/suggestions
Loved seeing the desert on bikes in the evening. The light was amazing. It was worth the expense, although I do wish we had had more daylight time to see and explore. The e- bikes were really peppy!
Happy you guys had fun loving our local desert! Maybe we’ll see you again for more fun!
