I have given 120+ tours to TBL customers to date. My passion for the desert southwest and outdoors brought me to AZ after many vacations here. My previous life experience was working in progressive politics. I left the office behind to follow my heart giving personal, up close tours of our desert land in 2006, briefly working for a corporate tour company. Following my experience touring van loads of people, I began offering personal driving tours of the Phoenix area as an alternative to "jamming people into vans" for rushed trips to tourist traps. I prefer offering laid back, unrushed tours of Phoenix/Scottsdale and the Valley as well as "Backroad" adventures to the incredible Apache Trail and other sites that the tour companies can't - or won't go to. My Scottsdale/Phoenix City tour is my most popular & a great introduction to the area. Want a tour with a different drop off? (i. e. Airport Car rental or remote location, etc)? I offer a Custom City Tour to modify to your itinerary/schedule. I look forward to working with you to create a tour to suit your needs! I enjoy showing my city and the desert southwest to people who come here and appreciate its amazing beauty. If you would like a tour that is not listed for a specific time/date, feel free to message me for availability. If you are looking for a laid back, relaxed, quality personal tour to enjoy the serenity of our land I would be glad to show you our beautiful land!

Overview of your Phoenix tour

President Roosevelt (Teddy) said "The Apache Trail combines the grandeur of the Alps, the glory of the Rockies, the magnificence of the G. Canyon and then adds an indefinable something that none of the others have. To me, it is the most awe-inspiring and most sublimely beautiful panorama nature has ever created. " This tour continues on the Apache Trail beyond the tourist town of Tortilla Flats, past where most tourists stop to the solitude of the desert canyons beyond where the paved portion of the trail ends continuing on to a stunning scenic overlook. We return back to Phoenix on the same route.

Your Phoenix tour itinerary

We'll leave the Valley and take historic AZ-88 in Apache Junction; optional stops could include: - Superstition Mountain Visitor's Center and - Weaver's Needle Vista viewpoint. We'll then head out on one of the most scenic drives in AZ! You'll see incredible canyons, mountains & desert as we ride the trail past Saguaro Lake and Canyon Lake before arriving in Tortilla Flat, a scenic, old west town. We'll then continue our journey "off the beaten path" as we leave the pavement behind for the exciting drive to an amazing overlook, where we will stop for photos before heading back to Phoenix.
