Relaxing and fun

Published on Jan, 2025

Fun, educational, and relaxing. Eric gave us wonderful insights ib the history of the area and how life progressed. He was open to all questions and when asked for options of other things as to do he gave us answers. Eric also talked with my granddaughter to answer her questions, at 5 she had a few. We will come back again and use the company so we can share with others.

Experienced parts of Arizona that we had no idea that even existed—Apache Trail, Canyon Lake Tortilla Flats. We enjoyed visiting the desert. Eric was a fantastic guide.

Apache Trail scenery

Published on Dec, 2024

Eric, our guide, was fabulous. He was knowledgeable about the foliage we saw along a short walk thru the desert. He was very socialable while driving. Tortilla Flat is an interesting place in history. The Dolly boat trip showed us views of the terrain you could not see from the road. Awesome.

Must see!

What a great way to spend the day! The steamboat was lovely and I loved visiting Tortilla Flat, eating at the restaurant and trying prickly pear gelato! Eric was very knowledgeable and entertaining!

Wonderful Tour, well worth exploring

Published on Nov, 2024

The variety of venues on this one tour was really unique and made the experience so memorable. And our tour guide Eric was just terrific. He knew so much about what we could expect and what we were seeing during each stop. First we took a hike in the desert and Eric pointed different cacti and other plants unique to this environment. We then had a 90 minute paddle boat ride on Canyon Lake where we saw several dozen Mountain Sheep. We then had lunch in the small town of Tortilla Flats at a truly unique restaurant called Suspicious Saloon where the food was delicious. Set aside the day as the tour took about 8 hours in total.
