I had a last minute trip to Scottsdale and had no plan of doing anything outdoors. Fortunately, I…read morefound Sonoran Outdoor Adventures and was able to book online easily. Marek met us at Brown's Ranch Trailhead with our fat tire bikes, helmets, water and snacks. Safety was a top priority and Marek made sure our bikes were the right height for us. We booked the sunset tour and I am so happy we did. Marek was so informative and shared a lot of history and information about the area we were in. I had never explored a desert setting and I have to say it is breathtaking! The entire time I felt like I was on a fake movie set - YES it's that beautiful! Marek took lots of pictures and even recorded a few videos. Hours after our tour he sent us a custom mini video with pictures and videos of our tour. If you have time for a bike tour please do not hesitate to book the Sunset tour with Sonoran Outdoor Adventures. We chose the beginner level for our tour and although it was a lot of peddling, we survived! Can't wait to do it again!

This was a great mix of mild physical activity and sightseeing, perfect for your average tourist or office worker!  I went on the tour after my coworkers took it the day before and came back to the hotel singing its praises. It was a good decision. We were able to see a decent chunk of the surprisingly lush desert and have fun while doing it. Brandon was a very patient and knowledgeable guide; he got a lot of pictures for us and his instructions for using the bikes (I was a first time rider) were very helpful. Definitely recommend for anyone that wants to get outside and see the scenery. Great value and great alternative to hiking!

I went on the bike tour which included the visit to Hole in the Rock. First time on an e-bike and I…read moreloved it! It's literally not strenuous at all despite "bike riding" for many miles. Bill was a great tour guide - very conscious of safety - he uses hand signals to lead the group safely through turns, and when to slow down or speed up. He gave us a tutorial of the bikes and let us practice the handling and controls in the parking lot making sure everyone was comfortable before taking off. The bikes themselves are bulky and very heavy compared to a regular bike, but you'd never know it once the pedal assist kicks on, they ride nice and smooth. (Use that throttle button when trying to accelerate from a stopped position! ). Bill was also super friendly and is native to the area and is very passionate about all there is to see and do in Arizona. I was a solo rider that joined a group of 3, and everyone was friendly and nice- we took pictures for each other and went to the local brewery for an appetizer after our ride. The tri-city area of Tempe, Phoenix, and Scottsdale is very bike friendly and we mostly rode on sidewalks and pedestrian paths, going minimal distance in a bike lane in the street. The scenery is not beautiful like you'd see while in the mountains, but the ride is through parks and along a river walk, so it is scenic, just not the same as what you'd see on a desert hike for instance. Hole in the Rock was a cool spot to take pictures. We rode right to the base, and Bill watched the bikes while the rest of us climbed up for photos. Todd the manager was accommodating to switch my reservation when my inbound flight was delayed and I made a last minute booking on a new day.

Reservations -easy, communication - great, value - outstanding. If you read my reviews you know I don't give five stars, that must be earned. We met at their shop and discovered we will be riding RAD Powerbikes. They were in great shape and we just did a couple adjustments. We ride bikes almost everyday day so we just took a couple laps of the parking lot to get comfortable and then we were off. On our 27 mile journey we went all over town, parks, golf courses, art installations and more. Bill was very good to explain what to expect and how to navigate each segment. We stopped a number of times for photos and Bill shared interesting tidbits about things we were seeing. Just the right balance of riding, talking, photos, etc. We even got a short hike in when we stopped at hole in the rock. On our ride, Bill led the way and we safely navigated trails and bike paths all over town, perhaps multiple towns. So glad we took a tour with a guide, lots of trails and lots to see and we never got lost. The sights are the sights and the trails are the trails. What made this a five star experience was the service and especially our guide. If you are looking for a great ride, give them a call and even ask for Bill...you won't be disappointed...
