So much fun! The guides were great! Amazing view of the desert. Bring a towel to sit on the car seat after. We got very dusty and were using a car service, we left his seats a little dusty.

My first ATV/buggy ride in desert with teen son. Super easy to book online or over phone. They send GPS coordinates via text and off you go into the desert. Guides were friendly made the trip fun. About 50mins out, short break (water, chips) then 50mins back to trail head. You get jostled around a lot, so not goof for anyone sensitive to that kind of thing. Otherwise, a blast. Hit top speeds of 30mph but the guides keep things under control so things stay fun and safe. Gaiters provided to keep sand/dust out of nose/mouth but pro tip is to bring a mask for under the gaiter. Sunglasses also a must. Amazing desert scenery and we passed through 5-6 washes that had pretty good water levels and downstream flow, which provided added fun.

Booked this for a work team adventure. Hands down one of the best experiences! The different terrains offered a variety of scenery. Our guides were phenomenal! Very personable, passionate about what they do and knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely do this again!

Very fun outing with great guides. We had a group of five sand buggies and two guides. It was obvious that Don, the lead guide, took the safety of our group (and the equipment) seriously, but was still able to lead our group at a good, fun pace. The track through the desert included some rock gardens and several streams that were a blast to go through. Overall, I'd highly recommend this outfitter.

Desert Dogs is the premier ATV trekking company in the Scottsdale area. We recently brought a large group of sales winners to the area and booked over 100 rides with them. Michelle was instrumental in managing our continued increases in ridership without a hitch. Our guests raved about the experience. The guides were superb and the touring was educational and fun. Kudos to a well run business.

We definitely enjoyed our ride in the dessert. The guides were great, fun and bumpy ride. A bucket list experience 😊

We came to Arizona on our honeymoon and I picked this tour with my husband in mind and let me tell you I’m already wife of the year! We went on this tour when it was raining, it was absolutely freezing but we still had a great time - that’s how cool the desert is. It was a lot of fun! My husband said this was his absolute favorite part of our trip.

Beautiful terrain and cool ride. Guides were helpful and good guys. While we loved it - I would suggest / add a few comments. - advertised as 2.5 hours but was just under 2 hours. - wish our break / stop would have been in a more scenic / mountain location. Having a great backdrop w scenic view would have made this a perfect outing and created a great picture

I honestly do not know how to rate this experience. Unfortunately, this tour did not go well for us as we did not make it to the tour at all! We had a snafu in our dates and we missed the scheduled date by a day. When we realized this and called, we were informed that it was not their fault (this is true) and that the tour guides were waiting for us. The issue I have with this is that at no point in time were we contacted by the tour operator to check on us to see if we were going to make it or if we were lost etc.. We could also not get the tour time moved to accommodate us. In the end I rebooked with another operator who was able to accommodate us at short notice!
