We had an incredible tour of Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Our guide, Will, was extremely…read moreknowledgeable, polite and professional throughout the entire day. The tour began in Sedona, where the scenery was absolutely beautiful. We then made a quick stop in Flagstaff for lunch before continuing on to the Grand Canyon -- which was nothing short of spectacular. This experience exceeded our expectations and I can't recommend this tour enough. I also can't recommend Arizona Scenic Tours enough -- truly a first class experience from start to finish.

We had an absolutely wonderful day on our private Grand Canyon tour from Phoenix. To be honest, we…read morehad two hesitations when we booked: (1) It sounded like a LONG day (with a really early start), and (2) It seemed a little pricey. At the end of the day, though, everyone in our group agreed that it was well worth the price (and, particularly if you're coming from the East Coast, you're going to be awake early anyway!). Our guide, Jon, made sure that everything ran as efficiently as it possibly could have. Not only did he ensure that we hit all of the Park highlights, but he took us away from the biggest crowds to show us views that were true " hidden gems." Jon was so knowledgable on the history, the environment, and other facts related to the area that we could not have enjoyed it more. Truly an experience of a lifetime! If, like us, you are making your first trip to the Grand Canyon, this is THE way to see it! Thank you, Jon - and Arizona Scenic Tours - for a very memorable trip.

It was the Felch House and it's front lawn chess set that had caught my eye about eight months ago…read more Then, the whole tree-lined street of Lynwood seemed to suck us in as we'd just done to our breakfasts. (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.)

Jason made sure I was comfortable the entire time even as I struggled with my fear of heights a bit. He made sure I did not give up and made it to the top. I'm so glad he did because the views were absolutely worth it. As for the mountain itself, it was challenging but definitely doable, especially if you have previous hiking experience. It's a must do if you are staying in the Phoenix area. I'd recommend getting there early like we did to avoid the crowds and the heat. If I'm fortunate enough to visit Arizona again, I will without a doubt be booking another hike!

We…read morehad always wanted to go to Costa Rica but became overwhelmed researching all the things to do, see and the different cities to visit. One call with Katie and John talking about what we would like to see and do and they put together the perfect trip for us. They listened to what we said we were interested in and suggested a few things we hadn't thought of! The accommodation in all four cities were exactly what we were looking for and the tours were with top notch companies. We could not have planned this trip any better! I would highly recommend using Katie and John. It is nice to deal with people that hear what you are asking for, deliver on time and actually have visited the places they send you to! Thanks so much for memories of a lifetime! Mark and Kathe

We purchased an African safari through a nonprofit charity auction supporting a cause we value…read more After the auction, we contacted Run Wild African Safaris (RWAS). Before payment, communication was relatively smooth. After payment, it became very difficult. Emails were slow, inconsistent, or confrontational, and phone calls often went unanswered. We repeatedly tried to move forward with the trip, but communication deteriorated to the point that we lost confidence in the company's ability to reliably deliver what was purchased. The experience caused significant stress and ultimately led us to decide not to proceed. While researching, we were unable to find reviews on major platforms like Yelp or TripAdvisor. We did find a small number of reviews elsewhere, including one that closely reflected our experience. Based on our experience, I would strongly caution charities against offering RWAS packages in fundraisers, and I would encourage potential buyers to thoroughly research alternative safari operators. There are many reputable companies in this space, and reliability and communication matter greatly, especially for international travel into underdeveloped nations.

Their guides are so kind and knowledgeable, and their staff is so attentive and engaging you don't just feel completely safe but more like you are part of their friends and family. Their amenities, connect you with nature like no other place can, while also bringing luxury to the wild. Tracking down animals with your amazing guide, experiencing what FREE animals in the wild are like, having long conversations by the fire with your team and having amazing chefs cook just for you. To me, Run Wild gave me a part of Africa I will always take in my heart. I will agree, the planning part can be somewhat challenging since they do not answer calls directly and the logistics of their planing could be better. I was a little worried at first but once I arrived, soon to realize, all their planning had been carefully arranged for us to have the most all around unforgettable experience.

The light rail is FREE with your game ticket (not all games tho so double check your ticket first), which honestly makes the whole experience feel even better. If you get there early, there's tons of parking too. The only little downside is that most of it isn't covered, but there are some shaded spots if you're lucky enough to grab one! It's super close to the light rail, so getting to the game is basically stress-free. Also, if you're a shaded parking type, there are nearby spots you can check out too. They also have a few disability parking spaces available! Tiny warning though: keep an eye out for the entrance because it's weirdly easy to miss the right turn into the park-and-ride!
