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!

Spend a day in "Red Rock Country". We'll leave the valley of the Sun taking a beautiful back road winding through scenic Sonoran Desert + mountains. I discovered this off the main path route on my first visit to the area in 1998 and have been sharing it with others since I began guiding tours. We'll visit the historic town of Jerome, with it's many unique shops, dining and relaxed atmosphere. We'll continue to Sedona - a picturesque city surrounded by incredible red-rock monoliths, and the stunning Oak Creek Canyon, a wonderful and breathtaking chasm. We'll view the famous & scenic Chapel of the Holy Cross, stopping for photos + snacks as desired. After we'll return to Phoenix via the freeway.

Eric planned and conducted a wonderful tour of Sedona and Jerome. His routes illuminated history and terrain rather than his convenience. This was a very valuable and educational day for us.-- Kevin and Sue Purcell
We had 2 tours with Eric and are very impressed with the quality and professionalism. Despite the weather was not so great it was big fun for us to see Jerome and Sedona.
Thank-you to Eric for a super tour around Sedona & Jerome: breathtaking scenery in a lovely part of the USA. Thanks for all your insight and knowledge. A pleasure to spend a day with you. Best wishes. Simon
Spectacular time out with Eric. He is very flexible and he knows the area very well. We really enjoyed our day with him thoroughly.
Eric was very accommodating and made sure that we were able to see and photograph the sites that we were interested in. He picked us up a convenient location to start the tour. He explained the details of the tour. We were able to adjust the tour and to stop and take photos at anytime. Very good tour and guide. Thanks Eric -
