Perfect day on the rocks

5.00Our experience with Arizona Climbing Guides was amazing. Our guide, Nate, was perfect. He was easy to talk to, friendly, and experienced. He picked routes that were challenging enough for my son and me, but not so difficult that we could not finish the routes. It was the perfect balance of challenge and fun. Throughout the day, he made sure we felt completely safe and confident on the rock. It was such a rewarding experience from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day. We’ll definitely be climbing with Nate and Arizona Climbing guides next time we’re in Arizona!
Great guiding service!

5.00This is a short hike followed by some scrambling and at least 4 nice rappels down a beautiful gorge with pristine waterfalls. The guides are excellent. Highly recommend!

5.00My husband and I had a great time rappelling in Tanque Verde canyon with Dylan! It was our first time canyoneering and we loved it. Dylan was such a fun guide and made us feel very safe while dangling from the edge of the canyon. Plus a beautiful hike through the canyon with waterfalls and beautiful rocks. Definitely recommend this for a fun adventure day in Tucson!

5.00TJ was a fantastic guide! I’d never climbed outside before but he was super encouraging and helpful. Despite the nerves, everything felt super safe and I could tell he knew what he was doing. The views were incredible, would absolutely do again!
Highlight of our trip!

5.00This excursion was definitely the highlight of our spring break trip. JC was very knowledgable and patient. Our 11 year old daughter was pretty nervous and he made every effort to make her feel safe. The scenery was beautiful and the rappelling was a real adrenaline rush. I highly recommend this trip!

5.00This was an absolutely great experience. Jake was amazing. It was so much fun and a beautiful location. We got several different climbs in.
Super cool canyoneering...

5.00Super cool canyoneering experience with Javan our guide. Not sure I really knew what we were getting ourselves into but we spent 1/2 day with Javan who was encouraging, kind and super safety focused as we traversed the Tanque Verde Canyon. We did 3 repels that were increasingly higher and the hike was about 4 miles in a gorgeous saguaro-filled canyon. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to be outdoors, do something to push themselves a bit and see gorgeous scenery. I wish I had sneakers that griped better...but all in all it was a great morning.
So much fun … climb and canyoning

5.00We had an excellent two days nothing climbing at mt lemon and canyoning at tangue verde. TJ was our guide and he texted with Anita answering all of her questions. He was a great guide (he laughed at all of my bad dad jokes). We felt really comfortable and he chose areas and routes that were appropriate for all.
