We booked a large group at the relatively last minute and Jan was really nice and got us booked! We had an amazing backroads almost sunset tour with Smokey and Sandman! We all totally recommend! They gave us history of the flora and fauna, the awesome geology of the land, and the stories of the people who lived on it. They were really funny and nice asking whether we wanted to go the smoother or the rough way (go the rough!!!!) The cranky husband said they saved the day because he doesn't like tourist traps and Goldfeild was a bit too much for him but he LOVED the trip out into the desert! We would do it again! 10/10 recommend! Also the guys said I had to write this... Sandman #1! read more

We traveled to Apache Junction for the first time on 04-15-25 to check it out. It's a cool little place. While we were there, we spotted a trail ride booth for Apache Trail Tours. The prices were great, but you just never know what kind of quality you'll get, even with expensive rides. We had our 6 year old with us, so we were praying that he wouldn't get bored haha! It was extremely hot outside too. We chose the 1 hour ride (just to play it safe), and we were blessed with an old cowboy named "Fast Eddie" as our driver and guide. Without exaggeration, we fell in love with Eddie in about one minute. The trail was awesome, but Eddie was better. The man was absolutely packed full of information and knowledge. We're from Northwest Pennsylvania and had a million questions. Eddie answered ALL of our questions, and incorporated them into his standard presentation. He was especially good with our 6yr. old, and kept everything extremely interesting. Eddie explained wildlife, rocks, views of the mountains, weather, etc, etc, etc..... WE COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF HIM!!!!!!!! Eddie stopped at several predetermined locations for beautiful views and photo opportunities, but he would also stop anytime we asked him to. We could see that he was one with nature, and that he absolutely loved all the plants and wildlife around him. It was so awesome!!!!!!! I don't know much about the company, we enjoyed our tour and our tour guide more than I can really express on here. Eddie was a great representative of the state of Arizona, as well as Apache Trail Tours. The man was like a historian, college professor, kindergarten teacher, comedian, rancher, cowboy, bullrider, park ranger and old friend all at once. Truly remarkable! read more

Our tour guide, Sandman, was very funny, personable, and made the historical knowledge amazing to learn! The views were stunning, we took a ton of photos, and visiting Tortilla Flats was truly fun. I've lived here for about 20 years and I learned so much and saw the most beautiful parts of the desert for the first time. Even before the ride, I was given pointers about which of the packages would be best for my group. She took the time to walk me through things and let me know what we could expect. It was even better than described! Thank you so much for the amazing time! You will see us back again. read more

Had a great tour with "Lobo" to explore our new area. He is a resident and lives on Superstition mountain and was a wealth of knowledge about Saguaro cactus and animals in the area. The ride was comfortable but if you get carsick, take some pills beforehand because the road has a lot of switchbacks. Take lots of pictures, the scenery is awesome! read more

Our guide, Boots, was friendly and knowledgeable. She maneuvered the terrain expertly and made for a very comfortable 1 hour ride and experience my whole family enjoyed. (2 adults, 12 yr old and 6 yr old) Dress warm and enjoy!! My only complaint is that is was FREEZING. We were visiting from Chicago and ignorant to how cold it is in the desert in the mornings, we foolishly under-dressed. It would have been great if blankets were offered, even for purchase. Besides chattering teeth, the tour was awesome! read more

Informative, fun, and the perfect amount of uphill bumps and beauty. The scenery is beyond great and Boots made for an exceptional tour guide. Her historic retrospective and botanic knowledge were impressive. This made for an even better visit to Goldfield Ghost Town. Perfect for ages 5 to 85.

Our 4X4 Jeep tour was an awesome experience. 2 hours of absolute fun seeing the best of the Superstition Mountains from wild and wonderful trails. Our driver, Sandman, provided lots of information on the local area plants and wildlife, as well as historical information. Very fun. read more

Lobo was amazing on our 90 minute desert 4 x 4 tour. His knowledge of the land, cactus research, water resources, geology, local folklore and reality in Arizona were entertaining and informative. He cited his sources for credibility, such as the University of Arizona or Arizona State, for example. He was kind and warm to the guests. He offered a mid way stop to stretch our legs and have cold water from his cooler. He gave excellent information on wildlife and ensured our safety. Ask about the creosote bush! He will show a demonstration on the amazing plant! So glad that my daughter and I had this tour. Loved it! read more

Lobo our guide did a great job and he was full of fun and interesting facts about the area.

We had so much fun on the tour! Boots was our guide and the knowledge about the desert as well as the legends were super interesting!

Waste of money. The tours were nondescript and the tour guide works for tips and but doesn't act like it. The tours in Sedona are far superior. I guess this place figures it's the only gig in town so they'll charge what they want and not care. Well, bye. read more

We did the three hour tour and it was awesome. Our guide and driver, Rex was so personable and informative. He told us lots of history about the area and also the plant life and some geology. We opted for the two hour tour which was perfect. I would skip the extra hour for the three hour tour you go down a steep unpaved road. The ride is full of twists and turns and at times is unpaved. We did stop at a look out point for photos and some additional info on the plants, etc. I would recommend this trip. It was well worth it. read more

My long-time AZ resident 50-something husband took our 12-year-old never-been-to-AZ-before nephew from PA on the one-hour tour. They said they both learned a lot and also had a lot of laughs! Fast Eddie was a fantastic guide. They had to squeeze in the tour shortly before my nephew flew home so we were very pleased how prompt and well-run the tour was. Thank you! read more

We took the 1.5 hr tour yesterday. It was beyond our expectations! We had Fast Eddy as our guide. He was so knowledgeable with the history around Goldfield and AZ in general. Plus he was very entertaining to boot! We learned so much. This tour is definitely worth a try. We highly recommend it. Thank you Fast for being such a great guide! If there was a 10-star rating, we'd give that but 5 is the highest..... read more

We took the 90 minute desert tour. CJ was our guide. He did an excellent job giving the history of the area as well as describing the various flora/fauna examples in the area.

We did the two hour Jeep tour, and the guide was friendly, knowledgeable and a good story teller. However, he used words I found offensive (pussy, retard) and made a joke about 'gender crisis'. I doubt if I'm the only person who wouldn't want to hear this. I expected more professionalism. read more

We always have so much fun. Love the ride and the history. Beautiful views and cactus. Will always use these guys

It was really fun and worth the money!! Smokey was really knowledgeable and entertaining. Would recommend for people and children of all ages. read more

I took my 11 grandson on a 30 trail ride 2 weeks ago and he had a blast. Came to Goldfields today to let my 9 year old grandson have the same experience. The ticket office was closed so I called them. They told me that since there were only 2 of us we'd have to do an hour tour for $100 total vs $60 for half hour tour. I can't afford $100 as I'm on disability. Why the change in just 2 weeks? Very disappointed and won't ever deal with this company ever again read more

We took the one hour 4X4 desert tour and had a wonderful experience. Right from the beginning our guide was friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable and fun!

Great time and very educational! read more

I booked a one-hour excursion as a Valentine's Day gift for my husband. We booked last night for today's 2:00 time slot because we wanted to take advantage of the wonderful weather conditions. Our guide, Timbuktu, was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the town and about the various plants in the desert. Today's scenery was spectacular, but if we go again, we would wait until late March/early April in order to see the desert plants in full bloom. Price seemed a bit high after paying fees, tax, and gratuity. read more
