We took the Arches 1/2 day tour and it was great. We got to see the back country of the park where relatively few visitors go with the added fun of some 4x4 offroading. Our guide Justin was very knowledgeable about the area, friendly, and was very good at driving in the rough terrain. I highly recommend this tour.

What a thrill! Completely terrifying in a good way where you’re constantly re-evaluating everything you thought you knew about gravity! This was the highlight of our Moab trip!

So much great information shared by this excellent Guide has us coming back again and again. Thanks very much for making these touring experiences available.

Was AMAZING and thrilling. Kevin, our guide was great. A little hair raising at times but well worth what we paid. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Best tour companion ever. Highly recommend this guide.
