5.00We booked the ancient ruins tour and had a great time! We were with our grown daughter and we all enjoyed it very much! It was just long enough. I’d suggest booking a morning tour because of the heat. Matt was very good! He was helpful and informative. We learned many things about the desert 🌵! There is water and restrooms at the beginning and end of the tour.
Must do tour!!!

5.00This experience was super fun. Me and my friends loved it our guide Chris was amazing. He was also in the fact that he kept looking back to see if anybody was getting lost on UTV tour and gave us cool facts about donkeys and the wildlife nearby in the area, he was attractive and cute, and we appreciate him for helping us have a great time and setting us up for success definitely would do it again in future.
Great way to spend a day!
