Amazing family experience! July heat was no issue. - Highlight of our trip! Our family of 5 did this on the morning of July 4th. I knew it was either going to be a highlight of our vacation, or everyone was going to be miserable for being in the July heat with temperatures over 100 degrees for 4 hours. Thank goodness everyone loved it and the temperatures were not an issue. Ray was our guide and did a great job. None of us had been on an ATV before, and we had no issues. We would absolutely do it again, even in the July Arizona heat.

Highlight of the trip for my 15 and 16 year boys - This was a cool tour. The riding double option plus $40 for the second rider keeps the tour affordable. 3 hour tour. 34 miles, with 10 in the Box Canyon. The guide was good. The Greek restaurant Mount Athos was a good spot for lunch in Florence. I believe we had 6 total ATV's on the tour including the driver.

Absolutely amazing time with awesome tour guide - This is an absolutely do not miss excursion! Bill was so nice and made the trip incredibly fun! He also shared knowledge and awesome stories that brought the activity to life. My friend and I were even running late from the airport after our flight came in late and ATV adventures waited for us which was incredibly considerate given we were late. Bill made us feel comfortable before riding with his training and the tour itself was breathtakingly beautiful and also exhilarating. I can’t rave enough about how fun this was and how it made our trip to AZ that much better! Definitely recommend!

Awesome ride - We wanted to experience an ATV ride in Sedona AZ but upon searching the locations, we found this tour close to Gilbert AZ, which is where our daughter lives. I booked the tour for 6 people in my family. When we arrived at the location, there were a couple in our tour group as well. So there were just 4 ATVs in our tour group plus the tour guide's ATV. It felt like a private tour for us. The location was kind of hard to find in the GPS but they are good at giving directions. The guide taught us how to handle the ATV and we were allowed to practice in a small area first. After 15 minutes, we went straight to the Box Canyon. The canyon view was so awesome. At times w had to ride through uneven rocky trails, which is what the ATV is supposed to perform in these rough conditions. The ride was very dusty, so the guide gave us bandanas to cover our faces (which we got to keep). Overall, I really recommend this tour if you're visiting Phoenix.
