Cactus and colors: desert botanical garden - What a diverse bunch of desert plants featuring the saguaro cactus as well as some butterflies, hummingbirds, and quail. The garden was decorated for Christmas with wonderful combinations of plant textures.

10/10 Allie was my tour... - 10/10 Allie was my tour guide. She has so much knowledge on the plants. She had snacks, water, umbrella, headphones, and off spray. She is funny, interesting, and quirky. She has a warm spirit. My son said he reminds him of one of his teachers.. The Desert Botanical is absolutely beautiful, stunning, and amazing. I highly recommend this tour.

Allie is best tour guide - I had a wonderful experience on my tour at the Desert Botanical Garden with Allie as my guide. Even though I was the only person on the tour, she took her role seriously and made it engaging and informative. She shared so much knowledge—not just about the plants, but also about reptiles and other desert animals. Allie is truly fantastic. She even recommended other places to visit and kindly offered to answer questions in the future if I forget anything I learned today. I really appreciated her enthusiasm and expertise. Highly recommend her when you go for this tour

We had an excellent experience with Allie! - Allie was absolutely wonderful! She was so knowledgeable about every plant and taking us through the whole botanical gardens. If you love plants and want to learn about the native species that grow in that region she is well worth the money. Even got a little goodie bag with crystals, candy from the prickly pear cacti (which surprisely was delicious) and her very own poetry on a beautiful postcard. Definitely book her for a great experience there!

Serenity and Beauty in the Gardens - We had an amazing time at our Sunset Walking tour!! Allie was an amazing tour guide, she was very knowledgeable, accommodating, helpful, friendly, and so sweet! The gardens itself was not very crowded, so it was easy to navigate and not too difficult to find great photos ops. The atmosphere was very serene and calming. Super beautiful, peaceful, and educational experience!
