If you've ever wondered what happens when Call of Duty gets taken WAY too seriously... this is it! Rick was an absolute LEGEND of a tour guide. From the moment we hopped on the ATVs to the full-on machine gun experience, it felt like we were dropped straight into a real-life video game--except way more fun and way louder. Rick made everything exciting, and safe. He knew his stuff, kept the energy high, and made sure we all felt like total pros out there (even if we definitely were not.) Between the rocky ride and the adrenaline rush of shooting, this was hands-down one of the coolest things we've ever done. If you're even thinking about booking--DO IT. 10/10 would absolutely go back and pretend we're in Call of Duty again. read more

We had the BEST time with Desert Wolf Tours! This was such a fun and memorable experience for our group -- and that's saying a lot because it was me plus six women in their 60s-70s! Our guide, Noah, truly made the entire experience. He was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident on the ATVs. He never rushed us, took time to explain everything clearly, and checked in often to make sure we were all doing okay. On top of that, Noah was super knowledgeable about the area and shared interesting facts along the way, which made the tour even more enjoyable. You could tell he genuinely cared about giving us a great experience. Whether you're adventurous or a little nervous going in, this is 100% worth it. We were laughing the whole time and left with such great memories. Highly recommend -- and if you can, ask for Noah! read more

It was really a 4.5. We thought the whole thing was fun and cool. I was not expecting the fun nature facts.

I can't recommend this tour enough! Not just the same ATV tour, this is a mix of fun driving and shooting. We had six of us with various levels of familiarity with shooting. Our guide Rick was so patient and helpful with the new shooters and made the whole experience so much fun. All kids were smiling ear to ear after the experience. If you are thinking about an of roaring tour, definitely do this one! read more

What a great experience are guide was A-1 Service vehicles were safety checked before the trip and we had a very comfortable riding experience felt safe even for the 7 yr old. All aspects of the trip were handled very professionally top notch quality service. I would highly recommend this company and the experience they provide. Loved the wildlife we saw too. read more

The Desert Wolf experience was great- booking through the tour itself! We wanted to experience the desert terrain and "participate" in the tour. We took turns driving the ATV so no one got left out. Our guide, Derik, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and had a very friendly personality. He elevated the tour by providing facts about the landscape - and the local "creatures" that call the desert home. I highly recommend! read more

We had a blast with Rick who showed us a really great time. From an early morning text letting us know he was standing by to help if we had any issues finding the starting point to the tour, to the reception we had when we arrived...He was a great guide and a great leader. Thankyou Rick! It was a great adventure! Dirrick and Joy, Monterey California read more

We reserved a morning tour in the month of January as a large group. The intro was quick and we were on the trail in no time. The machines were sturdy and well kept. I enjoyed touring the Sonoran desert. I had no idea that cactus were as plentiful as they are on the tour. I am a geology nut so the variety of rocks we saw were great. At the end of the tour we found the a great Jalapeño burger and beer! I appreciate the adventure and if it seems interesting I encourage you to give them a try. read more

This adventure was a once in a lifetime experience Noah was a fantastic guide and interpreter we learned a lot about desert life plants and animals saw literally hundreds of saguero cactuses I saw a hair donkeys and some cattle. The Tom cars easily handled the rough terrain even though we are in the middle of the Sonoran desert we felt safe with our guide Noah we even learned how to get water out of a certain type of cactus in an emergency this was a great desert tour 3 hours in the Sonoran desert I would highly recommend it read more

What a glorious day in the desert! Thank you, Derik, and Desert Wolf Tours! My friends and I took the 3‑hour ATV Tour and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. One friend was visiting from the UK and was in absolute awe of everything he learned, experienced, and he that got to drive through the rugged desert. I am local to the area and learned more than I want to admit to. Derik, our tour guide, is exceptional, experienced, knowledgeable, and the best part... he is fun. There was not a single question he could not answer. I highly recommend this tour. Worth the money and the time. It made me proud to be an Arizona resident. read more

Super fun time Noah and Rick made it fun and safe and we got to try a lot of stuff. Thanks

This was THE best destination experience I have ever taken. From the start, the staff, especially our guide, Rick, was fun, entertaining, super-friendly, and knowledgeable. He guided us through how the Tomcars operate, and got us out on the trail in no time at all. Once out on the trails, we went at a pace that anyone with zero off-road experience could manage, but is still fun for those with experience, and had a break for driver swaps & vehicle check-ups to ensure everything is going smoothly. Once moving, he guided us to the range area, and set us up for some shooting fun with a wide array of 'toys' he brought, from and Uzi, all the way to a Barrett, with a lot in-between. His firearm instruction was second to none, and prepped everyone with the basics and cardinal safety rules (everyone seems to pay attention more when you're packing heat), what to expect from the full-auto weapons, and on to shooting we went. Standard items available were the 9mm Uzi, M4, and some classic M1919 WWII belt fed action, with add-ons being a SCAR-H, MP5, S&W .500 Mag revolver, and the epic Barrett M99 .50BMG. After the shoot Rick gave us an option of a way back where we could open up the machines for some fast action after some technical driving, or another slower-paced trail. Well, you know what we chose, and after some serious up and down rock crawling and trail negotiating, we got to a spot that was flat and had fun making some big dust clouds and running full throttle. I would hands down do this adventure not only again, but every chance I get. In fact, we're already planning to do another driving trip the next time we're in AZ. If you're looking for an excellent adventure to try the next time you're near Phoenix, DEFINITELY give Desert Wolf a call... You'll have a blast, literally. read more

Tyler was our guide and he was awesome. Let us know exactly how to handle the equipment and knew a bunch about the plants and animals in the desert. I would strongly suggest going early in the morning on one of the first trips out to avoid the heat if you can. read more

Derik led our group of 11 on an awesome 3 hour adventure through the beautiful Sonoran Desert up near New River. We had frequent stops and he let everyone take turns to drive the TomCat vehicles. Derik also shared a plethora of knowledge about the desert plants, animals & creatures that inhabit the desert. We romped up and through the rocky roads, washes & terrain. I appreciated that we respected the desert and stayed on roads & trails to keep the desert prestine. Great adventure! 5-stars!! read more

Our guide Rick was the best! He had a wealth of knowledge about the vehicles we were driving and the weapons we were shooting. He kept everything very safe, but overall great time. The 50 cal is a must! read more

We had an amazing experience with Derick in early March 2023. Our family of 4 booked a Monday afternoon tour and ended up being the only group there. I was so impressed Desert Wolf did not cancel on us. Derick was knowledgeable about the local wildlife and plants and also gave us the opportunity to experience same additional areas since we were the only ones there. We come to Phoenix every year and are continually looking for new experiences- this was a great way to view the scenery, learn more about the area and have fun. read more

This was a great tour of the desert . Derrick was very knowledgeable about the area. He was open to all my questions and comments.

10/10 - the UTV is a lot of fun and totally safe. only place I know to shoot full auto. highly recommend.

Our guide, Derik was fantastic! He taught us so much about the Sonoran desert, the wildlife, and vegetation and made every bit of it fun. Derik's humor had us laughing even on our way back to our hotel after our tour as we talked about the adventure. Our 14 year old son was engaged the entire time. Parents- this is huge! When your kid is listening and engaged - am I right?!?! We highly recommend Desert Wolf Tours whether on an adult or family trip. The entire experience was incredible. read more

On Friday the crew at @SportsTownshow had the opportunity to film a segment of our show with Desert Wolf Tours. We were looking for an action packed atv ride and shooting experience that would blow away our followers and this day did not disappoint. Not only was Desert Wolf incredibly easy to work with, but our guide Rich was amazing. You can tell the experience and pride these guys have for their jobs and it really shows in the tour. The entire crew had an incredible time and we cannot stop talking about it. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Phoenix area! read more

Awesome your. Ian was the best tour guide. Super fun, shared local tips and info on the desert. Highly recommend!

Tyler was our guide and he was fantastic! Super knowledgable about everything in the desert and was great with our five year old! We had the best time and would highly recommend! Tyler was friendly, helpful, and made it a great experience! read more

What can I say that hasn't been posted already? Our superstar tour guide, DERIK, was AH-mazing. He was down to Earth - pun intended. His chill nature lent itself to a more engaged audience. He was transparent every step of the tour. I felt at ease and had a blast. His education about desert creatures, insects and foliage are second to none. Some of the insects described are nightmares fuel, but he was doing his job to educate me about it. I would RUN to this excursion than walk. read more

Don't pass up this opportunity if you have the chance! We did the tomcar / machine gun tour and have no regrets. Rick was a fantastic guide and super knowledgeable on everything firearms related....you won't be disappointed! read more

What an unforgettable tour! The experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish -- stunning views, exciting activities, and truly exceptional service. Thank you to the whole team for making it such a special and memorable adventure and a special shout out to Rick, he really is the GOAT! Highly recommend! read more

The 3 hour guided tour was an exciting adventure that allowed us New Englanders to experience the Arizona landscape. Our tour guide Ken, did a phenomenal job instructing us how to handle the TomCar as well as provide tons of fascinating information about the local ecosystem including vegetation, wildlife and history of the area itself. Be prepared for a bit of workout handling the TomCars however! As they have no power steering and the rock climbs can the jerk the wheel quite a bit! Overall, this trip is definitely worth the money if you're stopping through town and need a small adrenaline kick! read more

Our tour guide, Matt, as excellent. He was courtesy, professional, safe, and entertaining. The experience itself was fun as well. The Tomcars were fun drive, despite lacking power brakes/steering. The Sonoran Desert is always cool to explore and Matt knew quite a bit about the desert and its surroundings. My wife and I would definitely do it again. If we do, we hope Matt is our guide once again as he made the entire experience that much more enjoyable. A+ to Desert Wolf Tours. We have told everyone we know about the experience and highly encouraged others should do it. The use of fully automatic firearms is worth the experience alone! Matt's in-depth knowledge of the firearms was great as well. My wife felt comfortable despite being slightly intimidated by the use of automatic firearms. After the first shot, she was at ease, which is a credit to the instructor. read more

The whole experience is absolutely fantastic! The off-roading itself is well worth it, but you have to try it with the shooting package. This is honestly one of the best destination experiences I've ever tried, and the staff, especially our guide/firearms instructor Rick, are super friendly and knowledgeable, and will damn near guarantee everyone has an awesome, fun-filled time! read more

While on a girls trip in Scottsdale we decided to take an ATV tour. Desert wolf came up on a google search as the best in the area and I have to agree 100%. Casper our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He gave lessons about the wildlife and cacti in the area. Be prepared to get dirty as you drive through rocks, dirt and sand. But it is so much fun. read more

Adventure in nature is what we like most when we travel. Four wheeling in the desert is so much fun and you never know what you're going to see. I loved how Hunter would stop every so often and allow us to switch drivers. While we were switching drivers and stretching out legs, he would educate us on the plants and animals of the area. (Bonus: they employ Veterans and Retired peace officers) We had a large group of 51 people and they accommodated us so well. There was plenty of water and rest stops. There were beautiful views and adventurous trails. Thank you to Hunter, Rob, Blake, Dustin and Ryan. read more

Great Adventure! Driving through the desert and shooting machine guns. Rick was an excellent guide.

Outstanding service and experience. Connor is an excellent and considerate guide. Very patient with the group and less experienced drivers read more

What an awesome tour and we couldn't have had a better guide than Derek. We have a special needs son and Derek was so patient and understanding with his many questions. We did the 3 1/2 tour (plenty of time) and it's something that everyone can handle. The TomCars are amazing and what they can handle is incredible. Just when you think 'we can never get up and through that" the TomCar plows through. I love the fact that you don't need a helmet since the cars are so reinforced. It was so cool driving through the Sonoran Desert and learning about the various plants and wildlife. I thought the price was very reasonable. Serious bang for your buck. We will absolutely do this again when we return and most likely mix in the shooting aspect of the tour. Yes, they offer that too. read more

People want to judge us Millennials with our spending, eating out, and our cravings for experiences. Let me tell you and I don't say this lightly WHAT AN EXPERIENCE THIS WAS! I wasn't sure what to expect when my group visited this place but I had so much fun. The guide, Chris, was great. Certain experiences like this could easily get a bad review by the know-it-all guides out there that think they're doing you a favor. Chris was nice, easily patient, and made sure none of us were having any issues while on the trail. If you don't hike or backpack, then you absolutely must do this! Even if you do hike or backpack, this is a great way to experience the desert in a completely different way. There were four of us and each car holds four people. In our particular line of vehicles, the guide was alone in front with the four of us behind and a couple following behind us. The experience can start out slow as the vehicles don't go incredibly fast. Once you're out on the trail, you don't even notice. It doesn't take long until you're driving over rocks and through rocky dry creeks. The guide makes sure that everyone gets to drive. We made numerous stops to change drivers. The other perk is that during the stops, everyone gets out and the guide has something to teach you. I'm used to the east coast. That makes the desert landscape and surroundings still fairly new to me. Out of all the places we went in Arizona, I probably learned the most about the Saguaro cactus from this tour. I even had a chance to eat a cactus! Learning about the desert, the wildlife, and plants was incredibly interesting to me. This experience is definitely worth the money. I do appreciate that my lovely girlfriend asked if she could take a pee at one of the stops. Chris understood but you could tell he was both surprised and thought it was funny. I'm sure it's not every day that people ask to pee out in the middle of the desert. It made me laugh seeing her run to find a cactus/bush to conceal herself. You do get a dust head/face band to keep the dust out of your mouth. I'd suggest wearing some type of eyewear or sunglasses to keep the dust out of your eyes. I didn't have any issues with the dust until I was riding in the seat behind the driver. For some reason, that seemed to be the seat catching all the dust during this trip. This is one experience that I wouldn't hesitate doing again. read more

I'm sure the other guides are good but ask for Brandi! She is knowledgeable, high energy and hilarious. The Tomcars are a cool experience even for an experienced driver. They are set to not go as fast which made the new drivers in our group comfortable to try driving. The route is great, beautiful views, some rough terrain and lots of dust, but hey that's the desert! Brandi was super clear with the safety protocols and made sure we were all strapped in. The amount of knowledge she had about plants and cacti was great. Loved the touch of food sample and the prickly pear drink. Her sense of humor while sharing information made it 100x better than any other guide I've had. Thanks Brandi for making our visit a memorable experience. When we do another customer trip, we will be asking for you specifically!! read more
