5.00Allan was just the best tour guide ever! He took us on some really neat and rough off roads. Everyone loved it. We walked around and saw some diff types of cacti and explained everything to us. Overall the family had a really nice time!!! if you want to learn about the area and have a really great off-road experience, this is to talk to go on and a guide to use

5.00My friends and I did the jeep tour for my bachelorette and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Ed was super kind, knowledgeable, funny, an amazing photographer, and saved Whitney’s life by performing a high-stakes cactus removal from her hand! I highly recommend booking this tour and requesting Ed if you can!
