Steve was a fantastic tour guide. He was super accommodating, is incredibly knowledgable of the history and natural resources highlighted in the tours and it was our pleasure to spend five hours with him on a tour of the Apache Trail.

This day tour gives you the chance to venture north from the Phoenix area to see several historical sites that visitors come from around the world to see. This allows you to experience several very old locations that are so important in the history of Arizona. Luckily they have been preserved so visitors can still enjoy them as they have for hundreds of years. This makes a great day tour when the temperatures are rising in the Phoenix area as we climb to the cooler higher altitudes of the state. - Wupatki National Monument - Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument - Third Stop Options: - Museum of Northern Arizona or - Riordan Mansion State Historical Park or - Lowell Observatory - The Home of Pluto - Lunch included
