5.00Steve was amazing. He was so patient with me and my husband. Steve taught us all about the local plant and animal life in addition to recommending great places for us to go during our trip. He also took pictures of us and let us take our time with the sights. 100000/10

2.00The guide spoke endlessly of his personal life experiences including but not limited to couple’s counseling with his wife. Repeated attempts were made to redirect the discourse however regardless of the questions asked, the guide would return to personal anecdotes. The guide extended the sunset tour to three hours from two without asking for our input. Charging $120 for a walk up a hill and a bottle of water was outrageous.
Dialinda was our guide...

5.00Dialinda was our guide and she was incredible. She was very knowledgeable about the area and plant life. She paced our hike just perfect to get to the top for an amazing sunset. She's also very skilled in photography and sent our family many stunning shots of our whole family. Certainly worth the experience!

5.00Josh was an excellent guide on our sunset hike in Phoenix! The views were awesome (great photo opportunities) and Mad Desert Trekking made sure we took a trail that was appropriate. As I said, Josh went above & beyond - with snacks, water, walking poles (for that extra assist when needed) and a ton of information about the area - the man knows about plants & rocks! I would recommend this tour to pretty much anyone who can walk. Time and money well spent.
