    This wine tour absolutely exceeded our expectations. We were here for a bachelorette party for 10 girls and Monica and Captain Kirk made us feel so special and welcomed. The ride was fun, the wine was delicious, and the pictures taken by Monica were top notch. They made signs for our bride and she was so excited. In between wineries they brought us to the cutest spots and coached us into the perfect poses! Seriously, I can't recommend doing this enough. 10/5 stars. Can I move here and hang out with Monica and Captain Kirk all the time?! If you're on the fence, get off of it and book now! Walking is so 2020, get into a golf cart asap. PS they even have speakers to play your favorite jams. Thank you again for the amazing experience Joy Rides AZ!

    We chose this awesome company after reading all the great reviews. Kirk, one of the owners, drove us around on the first Friday evening of summer. He was friendly, knowledgeable and a true ambassador of this beautiful city. We took a sunset tour of Old Town Scottsdale . Kirk's stories along the way kept us both laughing and amazed at the history of the Area. Highly recommend this company to all. He even dropped us off at our dinner spot after making us feel welcome and excited to be in this gem of the desert. Kirk snapped photos of us at the museum that are now a treasured memento of a magical evening. Thanks!

    We had the BEST time touring Scottsdale thanks to Monica of Joy Rides AZ! We met her at the meeting point greeted with a huge smile. Monica took us to the various districts of Scottsdale giving us history and up to date news. We had three stops with great eats and drinks. The electric car was super comfortable and allowed for a breeze despite the 108* weather! We had the best time and can't wait to visit Monica again.

    I recently did the Verde Valley Ride from Scottsdale and we visited 3 wineries. Our bus driver,…read moreDennis, was friendly and safely took us to our destinations. 2 of the 3 wineries we all enjoyed. The second place specializes in omitting sugar from their wine but we didn't like the taste. I'm not a wine connoisseur so it's personal preference. The weather was great when we went but that also meant that the vines look dead at the wineries. We were told they are green and beautiful in the summer but I think I'll pick nice weather and dead looking vines than braving the heat in AZ. Overall, I highly recommend this trip and although there is food in two of the places, definitely pack snacks and food on the bus!

    I purchased six tickets for a Sunday ride for my daughter's 25th birthday. Five days before the…read moreride, they canceled the reservation. When I inquired about what was going on, they said it was a glitch in the calendar and there shouldn't be any rides that day. However, the same issue happened two years ago when I tried to plan another birthday trip. So if you're looking to plan something for an important date, you may want to rethink it. Otherwise, you may be left scrambling trying to find something to do once they cancel your reservation because of a "glitch" I have made a total of four reservations for the wine. Wagon. The first two times were great, the last two times were canceled last minute, both for birthdays, and both left me scrambling.

    When we selected Fantastica Italia to organize our tour of Northern Italy, our chief concern was…read morethat the company is based in the United States, far from where we would be should problems arise. We soon learned that MariaLaura continually monitors her clients' tours to ensure that all proceeds according to plan. A native Italian, she has comprehensive and intimate knowledge of every region of Italy, including areas quite off the beaten track where we intended to go. She has a vivacious personality and a genuine interest in getting to know her clients and understanding their travel styles and preferences. While she was charting out our itinerary, we stayed in touch by phone or email, working out all of the details. The trip she planned for us involved stays in seven cities, starting in Genoa, looping south through Cinque Terre and Florence, turning westward through Bologna and Parma, and finishing in Torino (all cities besides Florence were new to us). She booked all transfers and hotels, working with several local travel companies. The entire tour was indeed fantastic in every way, and went without a hitch. We had contact information for the local companies, and on the few occasions when we needed to be in touch with them (for example, when our boat tour of Cinque Terre had to be postponed because of bad weather), they were absolutely responsive and reliable. All of the drivers were punctual and personable, and even those who professed not to speak English spoke quite a bit and were eager to point out sites and provide interesting background information. Hotels were all first-rate and very well located (always an important criterion for us). MariaLaura booked walking tours in each of the cities we visited, and all of these tours were wonderful and essential to our experience. Otherwise, we were on our own in each of the cities to explore as we saw fit. Since we know Europe quite well and are comfortable with European languages, this worked out very well. (It's less likely that we'd try this approach in other parts of the world.) We took a fabulous day trip from Genoa exploring the western Italian Riviera and Monaco without a guide but only a driver, who took us from place to place and even to some places that he didn't know but that we had read about. On days when we were transferring from one city to another we tried to stop at points of interest along the way. For example, on our way from Bologna to Parma we stopped in Modena to tour the Casa Pavarotti, the Ferrari Museum, and the medieval city center. It's important to note that we could not have done such a tour on our own with a rental car. Parking would have been next to impossible in many of the places we visited. We were able to get out and explore while the driver waited and picked us up at a pre-appointed spot. MariaLaura also booked several excellent specialty tours, including an unforgettable private sunset boat tour of Cinque Terre and a small-group tour outside Parma (just four people) featuring locations where Parmigiano Reggiano, balsamic vinegar, and prosciutto are produced. MariaLaura was very helpful and patient with us as our plans developed. When we found out that tickets were available for a performance of Aida at the Teatro Verdi in Busseto (outside Parma) on a certain date, she reworked the schedule to make sure we would be there. This was not a trivial matter, since the timeframe was narrow and hotel reservations for the hotels we wanted were not readily available. We appreciated the way she willingly took on the challenge and got back to us quickly with a revised schedule that worked out perfectly. She is truly a gem. The cost for this trip, not inexpensive, was nevertheless a very good value. MariaLaura worked with us to tweak the program so as to keep it reasonably on budget. Our tour of Northern Italy was truly a dream vacation. Having been to Italy a number of times, there are still areas that we have not explored. If and when we plan another trip, we hope to do it through Fantastica Italia.

    I contacted this company via their on-line contact…read more Months passed with no response, finally 3 months later they contacted me using computer issues as an excuse, (as to why they never responded). My request wasn't difficult, I'm first generation Italian and wouldn't have had a problem booking directly, I contacted them because my husband has some health issues and I felt they'd be able to help/advise with that. When people show you how incompetent they are, believe them.

Bootleggers, where we were served kale salad, brisket nachos and apple pie moonshine. 2. The Mission, where we were served pork tacos and a spicy elote. 3. Wine Collective, where we sampled 3 wines and snacked on charcuterie. 4. Cimmino's, where we had our choice of several flavors of gelato -- and the ingredients were imported from Italy! Each stop featured a unique atmosphere and tasty food. I really appreciated their ability to accommodate dietary restrictions -- because I don't eat red meat, I was provided with two smoked turkey tacos in place of brisket nachos, and with chicken tacos in place of pork tacos. This was a huge plus for me! We spent about half an hour at each establishment before walking to the next. As we traveled, Zach shared some fun facts about the area's history. I left with a satisfied tummy and some great new memories.

    I went on Arizona Food Tours Scottsdale tour with a group on a private tour…read more I have been on many food tours all over the county and world. I generally hate giving a food tour three stars and really struggled with this review.. I decided to give three stars based on variety, value and authenticity. The food felt like a repeat of the same thing over and over again outside of a weird radish finger food and gelato at the end. The repeat tacos and/or nachos are basically cheap junk food that you can get anywhere and $100+ for a tour does not sit well with me when you are only served a few tacos and corn. Lastly, I just don't think Scottsdale has a unique culinary scene outside of pulled meat and tacos, which just doesn't get me that excited. There just is not much for them to do on a food tour in Old town Scottsdale so they did what they could. I always recommend a food tour in a new city and still recommend this one if you need to fill time but it was one of my least favorite tours unfortunately.
