Our tour guide was Eric. He was always on time and his vehicle was clean and spacious. He would give us trivias and tell stories about the placies we visited. We even got a pop quiz at the end of the trip to see if we were listening. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited. When asked about recommendations, he would give us a lot of choices where to go and what to do. He was polite and kind. We really enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend him and Across Arizona tours to everyone.

Patrick was knowledgeable and expert in his field. He drove through snow and rainfall, to safely transport us. Great laughs and times made in the van as we took in all the sights. It was a memorable day and experience, thank you!
