    Maggie was great! She was very informative and tried to keep us out of the heat the best she could while keeping us entertained. Would definitely do the food tour again!

    My husband and I had a great time on this tour. Our tour guide, Jonny, was super personable. He made sure everyone on his tour had what they needed, took pictures of the different groups, cleaned our goggles and just generally made the trip really fun. The views were amazing. All the tour guides worked together to make sure the trip was well organized and safe for everyone. We did a lot on our trip to Arizona, but this was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. They even provided a small snack and cold water during the tour.

    Amazing trip. Was due to be hiking at 11am but due to the extreme heat warning and closure from 9am, I hiked with Mike Hopkins at 06.30 and what a blessing that was. Considerably cooler and watching the sun rise over the red rack was stunning. I can see why this is a 5* rated activity. Definitely worth doing with a guide, esp if solo for safety and company if for no other reason. Mike was engaging, experienced and adapted the hike to my requirements (which turned out to be a nice fast paced scramble to the top!). Customer photos tell the story but you genuinely can’t beat seeing it for real and as the lighting changes, so does the scenery. Highly recommend doing this with Mad Desert Trekking.

    We booked Desert Dogs for a fun/unusual bachelorette adventure and they did not disappoint! Everything from booking to the tour was outstanding.

    Michelle was so helpful getting us booked, giving us driving directions, and calling us the day of to inform us of an accident en route to the tour and sending new directions to avoid it.

    The tour guides were great - very informative and patient with several bachelorette groups wanting to get pictures during the break.

    Everyone on this tour had a blast and it was a highlight of our bachelorette weekend. I hope to come back soon and would definitely use this company again!
