I opted for the Sunset Guided Hike on Piestewa Peak. Gear was provided and lots of IG-worthy pictures were taken! Jay Schaeffer was our guide and he was phenomenal, personable, and knowledgeable. As someone who doesn't hike much, he was very welcoming and made things feel easy. He made sure to gauge the group's ability to hike at the beginning of the trail; as we moved forward, he was also cognizant of everyone's safety (especially in the dark). We also stopped a few times to learn more about the Phoenix landscape, flora, and wildlife (which we didn't see much of). I'd highly recommend this experience to out-of-towners who are in Phoenix for a few days.

Henry was an amazing guide for me while visiting Tempe for a business trip. I really wanted to see more nature and learn more about the native plants and history of the area; Henry was so friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. He made my trip very special and took great photos and shared them with me right away. Highly recommend this trip if you're in the area!

The experience was really nice and spent a good time with Matt. I particularly liked his sharings about the parks and his recommandations. He really adapted the hike with the persons he’s going with. Thanks a lot !

Matt is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, patient, and overall good energy. Even in the rain the hike was awesome. Unfortunately I wasn't in the best shape to complete the trail as intended. No worries though that just simply gives me an opportunity to hike again with Matt for next time! Lol! If you're in Phoenix area make sure to check it out!

Matt was very knowledgeable and taught us East Coasters a lot about cacti and the local landscape. He also provided backpacks with bottled water, snacks, and hand sanitizer! (He even kept on his double layered mask throughout the entire hike! Unnecessary but very appreciated). All in all, a very kind, smart and easy-going guide who can tailor your hike to whatever you’re wanting.
