Our Jeep tour with Jon was the best decision we made coming to Scottsdale! Our group was here for a bachelorette party and we had the BEST time. Jon was such a thoughtful and entertaining guide, making sure that we had water and all the things we could need (snacks, sunscreen, medicine, etc). He was also very insightful about Arizona and desert facts which made the tour even more interesting. Jon truly made out desert tour and trip 10x better. Thank you Jon and the Off Road Jeep Adventures team!!!!samjones0899

Jon was THE BEST!!!!!! I don’t think the experience would’ve been the same without him. Having him as the guide made the experience what it was. I can’t put into words how great he made our experience. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
