My name is Cody . I am an internationally certified Tour Manager and have over five years experience in the industry. I am a fourth generation Arizonian and was born and raised in this great state. I came back from my travels 3 years ago and fell in love once more with the state I grew up in. I enjoy traveling, camping, fishing and hiking on my off time. My true passion is travel to as many countries, states and counties as humanly possible. I got my background guiding for 5 years in Alaska. I truly fell in love with the craft of being able to share my knowledge with so many people. Being emersed daily with truly beautiful earthly treasures make me cherish my job. The sites I get to show people and see their reactions means alot to me. I get to call nature "my office" every day and it is amazing. I operate tours in my home state of Arizona. I love the variety of red rocks, to forests to scenic deserts our state has to offer. In my opinion Arizona is the most diverse state in sites in the USA. People should check out Arizona because it has such rich sites but also such rich American history in copper mining, old west frontier culture and over 21 tribal peoples. Our tours are small and comfortable. We want the guest to relax and truly take in the full experience. We customize and also have pre planned tours but will do extra for people to enhance the experience the best we can. I want you to be filled with memories when you leave Arizona with an even fuller camera! - I am credentialed as a nationally certified tour director from the IGA guide academy. - Have guided over 100 tours in the state of Alaska from 2013-2016 -Own a small tourism business for the past 3 years in Scottsdale, AZ. - Tours are not handicap accessible
