5.00Great time! The cruise around Canyon Lake was breathtaking. The staff and guest in the Dolly Steamboat were friendly and engaging. The atmosphere at Tortilla Flats was fun and the food was good. Our last stop at Goldfields Ghost Town gave you a glimpse of a old mining town. Cody was a outstanding guide. We had a great day!

5.00Absolutely a great day! Cody is an amazing guide, went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our trip. There was no pressure to be moving on, no clock watching (except when we had to catch the boat) lol. Being picked up and dropped back off after the trip is a brilliant way to travel. Would recommend Cody and his tours 100% . We will be back for more!
A great tour to be enjoyed

5.00It was nice we didn’t have to drive ourselves. Everything went very smooth on the adventure. I feel we could have had a bit more time at the museum and the ghost town. Overall it was good.
Amazing day of Adventure!

5.00This is an amazing way to spend a day of adventure! Cody is an excellent communicator and very knowledgeable about the entire state of Arizona. We were picked up and dropped off at our VRBO which was a real plus and luxury for us as travelers. The highlight of our day was the Dolly Steamboat ride and seeing the wildlife on the cliffs of the rocks. We would definitely recommend this Adventure Company. Cody was very professional and adhered to all the Covid restrictions and guidelines throughout the entire day. We would definitely use this company for future travel plans again if we were in the area! Don't hesitate, trust the reviews and book your day of Adventure!
A great day and tour.

5.00This was a very enjoyable day and experience. Cody was prompt picking us up at our resort. We had a pleasant drive into the Superstition Mountains. We enjoyed our various stops and had a great burger during our free time in Tortilla Flat. The boat ride on the Canyon lake was memorable and filled with beautiful sights. We recommend this tour.
Great Time!

5.00We had a wonderful time with Cody (driver and guide). He picked us up from our condo complex right on time. He was very knowledgeable, easy-going and filled us in on some of the stories and legends of the region. The cruise on the Dolly paddle boat was the high point of the day. We saw a bald eagle soaring above the lake as well as bighorn sheep. All in all, it was a great tour and we would highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Phoenix area.
Amazing Adventure

5.00Our tour guide, Cody, was knowledgeable, punctual, and made sure we had an amazing time. We loved seeing the host town, mining for gold, going on the zip line with amazing views, and touring Canyon Lake on a ferry. A amazing experience like no other. Definitely do this tour when visiting Arizona.
