We were picked up at our air BnB promptly at 9 am by Mark, who was very cheerful and friendly. The confirmation email I received the night before said we would be picked up by Bruce but who knows, maybe it was a last minute change. The mini coach was clean and comfortable and Mark offered us bottled water from a cooler. Mark drove us to the destinations outlined in the itinerary, but he really didn’t offer many details about the history, interesting stories about the area, or point out anything interesting that we couldn’t already see. We have taken city bus tours in Philadelphia, Palm Springs, and Seattle and have always been happy with them. Unfortunately, Mark’s tour was disappointing compared to our past tours. He did suggest a wonderful place for lunch in old town Scottsdale and is a nice guy, but for the price, I don’t feel we got our money’s worth.
