My family and I recently had the privilege of taking a multi-day tour with Arizona Scenic Tours with Steve Gerhart as our guide.
If you're looking for a way to experience the natural wonders of Arizona, Route 66, and Utah look no farther. Having the ability to see the Petrified Forest, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park without the stress of planning every detail made this tour very enjoyable. The combination of awe-inspiring landscapes, expert guidance, and well-thought-out logistics made for an unforgettable adventure. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or simply looking to enjoy the views, this tour has something for everyone. We left feeling not just like I had seen beautiful places, but like I had truly learned something about the natural world due to our knowledgeable guide, Steve Gerhart.
We highly recommend this tour and Arizona Scenic Tours and cannot wait for our next adventure with Arizona Scenic Tours.
