5.00We had a great experience with the tour company. We were able to easily get an uber from our hotel in Desert Ridge. Check in was seamless and we had completed the waivers due to the appropriate amount of reminders. The staff helped us through picking out the amount of equipment for all (helmets are not required for adults, but we chose to do what the kids were doing). The wait was a little hot, but they started a mist. We were placed in the first centipede by our lead Guide Greg. He was with us the entire time and gave the right number of reminders for what gear we should be in and gave us heads up on the terrain to expect. We felt like we were having an adventure, but still felt safe and guided. Pictures and fresh waters were offered at the halfway point and as much local flora talk as our group wanted. The terrain was exciting up, but we also enjoyed the ride that we took through the cavern. I felt like I was going 100 mph to look down and see that I had hit 30. The team did a great job. We reserved an uber for our ride back and they were there when we got back. Add an extra 30 minutes to the end of the tour, so you aren't rushed on the back-end.
Do it!
