Phoenix Food Tour on Trendy Roosevelt Row with 7 Food Tastings
mariandA5258GC, Sep 2026
Phoenix Roosevelt Row Food Tour
Chris was an enjoyable tour guide with a vast knowledge of the area, history, art and restaurants. The meal selections were excellent - all food was delicious. We thought the dessert was creamy hand made gelato, but the choice, while tasty, was s’mores or blood orange cake with a meager teaspoon size of pistachio ice cream. That was disappointing as was the very small portion size. Not to discourage others, Chris was fantastic and Overall a good time

Great guided trip! Lots of time driving so you stay cool. We had a flooded river so we couldn't take the typical route. Our guide, Lorenzo, adjusted the route and gave us a few extra minutes on the trails to make up for it.

This was such a great tour! We saw so much and Jake was so knowledgeable and engaging. I was with my young daughter and he even tailored the information for us so she could understand the history and significance. Also, what a perfect sunset ending! We really had a great time and would highly recommend Jake as a guide!

Climber542652, Sep 2026
Great Experience
It was my birthday and I thought, “sure, ATV’s sound fun!” I wasn’t expecting expert level trails! I had a panic attack on the beginning of the trail, but the way that Renzo and ARod handled myself and my group was nothing short of amazing! They made us feel sooooo at ease and guided us through the trails like we were in their backyard! They literally knew EVERYTHING about the environment, the bikes, the animals, the history! You can tell that it isn’t a job, it’s a passion of theirs and all the men there! I would recommend this company to anyone looking to learn more about the dessert while having fun watching the beautiful and scenic views!

GUIDED ATV TOUR
We had an amazing time at this ATV location. It was our first time in AZ & this was our last fun activity on our last day. We were paired with Austin as tour guide. He did amazing making sure we were comfortable enough to ride the ATV, gave great advice on how to keep control especially while going up and down hills. He made sure to reverse back to us anytime we seemed too far behind and made multiple stops to 1 make sure we were okay and 2enjoying the ride and 2 to see beautiful views while giving us history about the location. By the time we reached our last stop I was so ready to head back because the AZ heat is no joke but he did provide cold water for us! Thank you again to Austin and his team you guys rock 🤘🏼

This was my second time going on the sunrise hot air balloon tour! Both experiences were great. First time solo, second time with a friend. Ironically, I had Pilot Morghan Chando for both times I had a tour. He made the experience great! Friendly and professional. The entire staff was amazing as well. Would recommend this company for hot air balloon ride.

Amazing!!
It was amazing till the beginning from the end. I am very scared of heights but this was nothing! It was peaceful. The guides and the ppl there were very operational and fast. The breakfast after is very cute I loved it because of the history. Everything was amazing but I think it’s too expensive for what it is. I paid 200$ per person and I think it could’ve been between 100 and 150. We still loved even the certification at the end! Thank you so much!
