I'll start with the vehicle. It was a 14 passenger van and we were 14 passengers. However, the…read morerearmost seven seats could only be accessed by relatively slim people, say less than 180lbs. And when I did finally make it back there and got sat down my knees were pressed hard against the seat in front of me and I had less width than in a SouthWest middle seat (and at least SouthWest gives everyone armrests). A couple of our group refused to sit in the back because they felt it would be too claustrophobic for them. I'm only 5'8" but this was the most uncomfortable seat I've ever had the displeasure to sit in. We stopped on the way for an included breakfast but when we arrived we were given a special restricted menu and all the choices were very small portions. The coffee was lukewarm and when we asked for milk or cream they brought it out in plastic cups. Trying to pour the milk without spilling it all over the table was the highlight of our breakfast. At the destination, Canyon Lake, our driver was the last to buy tickets so when we were called to board the vessel by ticket number our group was the last group to board. Needless to say we didn't get prime seats on the boat. Now onto the driver and the scariest part of the trip. She insisted on driving with one hand on the wheel and gesticulating with the other while turning her head to talk to the front seat passenger. 74mph on the highway with only one hand on the wheel and much of the time no eyes. It was like an accident waiting to happen. Fortunately nothing did happen that would have required an alert driver that could take control of the vehicle. My wife did mention the driving to another staff member at breakfast, and while the gesticulating stopped that hand remained firmly in her lap while driving on the highway. Finally, I just read on their website that their vehicles have WiFi. No-one mentioned that to us.

A $5 charge per person was very reasonable so we opted to try it. Our driver , Herb, was an interesting gentleman. Stone worker , artist, and mason by trade.

We called him when our dining experience was complete and he was promptly there to wish us back to our hotel. I highly recommend this mode of transportation when visiting downtown Scottsdale.

This year was my first time attending the Windsor Square Historic District Home Tour. Windsor…read moreSquare is a beautiful neighborhood right near Camelback Rd and Central Ave in Phoenix. You can buy your tickets ahead of time online or at the event. You will get a wristband, which allows you to tour the ten gorgeous historic homes on the tour. We had so much fun seeing the unique designs of each of the homes and learning about the history of each home. There was also an area set up with vendors and food trucks. My favorite was Chewk's Cookies. They sell incredible cookies in a variety of flavors. My pro tip would be to get there early. We got there at 10:45 am. The tours started at 11 am. That way, you can beat the heat and the crowds, which got larger as the afternoon progressed. Also, wear a hat and sunscreen. There was a lot of walking involved as the homes aren't located right next to each other. There was plenty of street parking, however, if you want to move your car to different areas of the tour.

(Vovomeena) For a leisurely after-breakfast walk, we went. We admired the grassy front lawns (many "newer" suburban communities don't allow grass in the front lawn) and the architecture of the homes (bungalows mostly) as well as the mature trees and landscaping. Then, just a couple days ago, it happened again. Lynwood is one nice street down which to take a stroll and check out the architecture. And it was then that I learned that this area is designated "The Historic Roosevelt Neighborhood" which is the area from McDowell to VanBuren and from Central to 7th Avenue. it's a series of neighborhoods that grew North of Phoenix between 1893 and 1930. Lynwood St is actually located in an overlap with historic area: "The FQ Story Neighborhood Historic District" which spans from McDowell south to Roosevelt Street and from 7th Ave west to Grand. I'd thought I'd noticed, too, as we'd driven by one of the homes..that there was a white box affixed to a tree. Christmastime...letters to Santa maybe? or maybe the home had a special historical designation...? The joy of discovery. Simple stuff. It wasn't either of those. Note: There's an annual home tour in early November "Historic Roosevelt Home Tour" If you feel like you want to keep walking/sightseeing - check out the nearby "Japanese Friendship Garden" at Portland and 3rd Ave...(there is an admission fee.)

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...

Don't let the residential area confuse you (as it did for us). :) The Temple is here! REVIEW: Not to be confused with a church building or a Temple, this is the Mesa Temple Visitors Center. This center shows, teaches, educates, and informs the public community ^about the Temple. A few other Latter-day Saint Temples have a Visitors Center, including the Los Angeles LDS Temple in Santa Monica, CA. The Mesa Temple Visitors Center has performances (usually held at Christmas or Easter time) on the grassy area across the street from the Center and next to the Temple. Sadly there weren't any performances on this visit as we were there before Easter. I can't wait to see the Christmas performance here one day! There are missionaries inside the Visitors Center who will share with you about the Mesa Temple and its history. There are videos and short films you can watch as well to learn about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the purposes of Temples on the earth. I definitely recommend a stop here. Education and history in one spot.
