BEST EVER tour of Sonoran Desert by Jeep

5.00We had the best experience with this Jeep tour!! Three of us were turning 80 and we decided to go to Scottsdale, AZ. The highlight of our trip was with Stacy from Wild West. She was a real encyclopedia about desert life in the Sonoran. I can’t imagine anyone else having more knowledge than her. For three hours, we had the best experience riding off road in a Jeep across the Sonoran Desert. We felt like old friends by the end of the day. She told us about more things we could do in Scottsdale if we made a return trip. We’re seriously considering coming back because of Stacy. She’s a real asset to Wild West Jeep Tours.
Stacey was an amazing tour guide: RECOMMEND!

5.00My family and I (wife, 9 and 7-year old daughters) took a Jeep tour with Stacey. She made this an unforgettable experience and my girls idolized her! She was “super cool” and taught all of us so much about the desert. Stacey was an off-roading expert and it was impressive to see her navigate the unpaved desert trails. Fully recommend this tour company and our new friend/tour-guide Stacey!

5.00Our driver/guide MICHAEL was terrific with a very entertaining trip out into the Sonoran desert. His knowledge of the history of Scottsdale, the Valley of the Sun, and the terrain/critters/insects his knowledge of the history of Scottsdale, the valley of the sun, and the terrain/critters/bugs was amazing.

5.00A really informative and fun day with Wild West tours in the desert just outside of Scottsdale. Our guide, Michael was extremely informative and made the whole trip enjoyable. It was also very educational and interesting to learn about how nature works in the desert and about the different type of plants and the animals and cactus. If you want a couple hours outside of the city and doing something fun and educational, I would highly recommend it. The jeep by the way, was extremely comfortable. It had an air-conditioned cab, so the heat was simply not a problem. The road was a little bumpy because you are off road, but that was part of the fun. I’m here to see baseball games, but I’ll always remember this trip as seeing the desert up close and personal.
Great tour!!
