I had the best time on this tour with Cam! It was my favorite part of my trip to Arizona. Cam was so knowledgeable and had a great personality. The landscape in the desert was unreal at sunset. I would definitely do this tour again!

We loved Bill and Cam as our guides for our bachelorette partt! Cam was my driver guide and was so knowledgeable on the desert wildlife and helped us make a drinking game out of all of the things we spotted and the info about the seguaro cacti, which were all around us - needless to say we had lots of sips! Would also recommend bringing a portable speaker for some of the longer drive going to/from. Cam happened to have one, Bill didn’t. They also helped us take a bunch of pictures together which was much appreciated.Very knowledgeable driver. Very educational and interesting information. Beautiful sunset and mountains. Learned lots about the cactus and animals in thr desert.
