Sonoran Sunset desert tour

5.00Had a great time with our guide, Kennedy. Kennedy, a lifelong AZ resident was a wealth of information about the desert, the state and the region in general. He spent a lot of time explaining the many types of cacti, other flora and the many desert inhabitants. On a 110 degree day the climate controlled jeep was invaluable. As it was just my daughter and me, we had a very personal experience and spent a lot of time in the desert on our 3 hr trip. Highly recommend Wild West Tours and if youre lucky enough, you’ll have Kennedy as your guide!
The Jersey girls learned cool things about the desert. .

5.00100% recommend this tour! Stacey was so friendly, kind and knowledgeable about Scottsdale and the surrounding area. Learned a ton about desert vegetation, wildlife, and was able to witness a beautiful sunset on the plateau. This woman has found her niche, as her love for the desert shows! Thank you for a wonderful evening and will cherish the photos taken and memories for a lifetime!

5.00Having never been to Arizona, Jay was the perfect guide for an in depth introduction to the desert. His knowledge & presentation on the history of the Sonoran Desert, Native American life & customs, geology and flora/fauna is impressive and simple to comprehend. We would highly recommend Jay and Wild West Tours to anyone visiting the area. We look forward to our next adventure with Jay! Karen & Scott

5.00We were picked up at our hotel by (Sean) Kennedy, our guide. A good guy, good driver and fun Jeep Gladiator. Started the journey by a drive to Rio Verde, got some pics and then headed into Tonto National Forest. Journeyed on to some two tracks where started to explain the area, flora, fauna and tidbits to us enterformed. As expected, it’s not smooth, but Kennedy handled it like a pro. Trip lasted close to four hours and was well worth it. TY
Beautiful desert views and knowledge

5.00This tour was the highlight of our trip! Our tour guide, Steve, was a pleasure and wealth of knowledge. Steve conveniently picked us up and dropped us off, which was an amazing perk since we didn't have a rental car. The Sonoran Desert at sunset was dream. I would do this tour again and highly recommend it!
