A Great Tour of Arches National Park - Took Arches Back Country off road tour. Jack was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgable with facts about the park. He very much customized the experience for us so we could enjoy every minute! The places he took us off roading were stunning and we would never have had these opportunities without a guide. Would highly recommend this company and request Jack as your guide, you will have a wonderful time.

Do it! It’s worth it! - My wife and I took the half day guided tour of Arches. It was amazing! Jack W., our guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Sure you can drive yourself around the Arches, but you probably won’t see everything or even know what you are looking at. Jack provided geological and historical context that in my opinion was invaluable. Thank you Jack and Moab Scenic Adventures!

Best experience in Moab - My husband and I chose to do a private tour and were “assigned” to Zed. My initial perception: cool cat! During our tour, he wore several hats, to include paleontologist, geologist, historian… lab tech, humorist and even philosopher… my husband called him a zen master. Needless to say, he is on my top three best guides I’ve encountered in my visits to five continents. He made our tour enjoyable, enlightening and informative. I would always chose him as my travel guide any day. The staff at Moab Reservations Center were professional, polite and extremely informative. I highly recommend their services.

Zed was amazing! - My husband, seven year old daughter and I have been on a three week RV tour around the country, mostly through national parks. We had an amazing tour with Zed, who was knowledgeable, laid back, and engaging. My daughter said he was the best tour guide on our entire trip, which I would agree. This is the only tour on our whole trip where my daughter didn’t say she was bored or ask when the tour was over. I would highly recommend Zed and the backcountry tour.

Fantastic Tour - Phil rocks! - We (me, my wife and my 83 year old mom) had a fabulous time on our Backcountry tour. Our guide Phil had a deep knowledge of the park and taking the backcountry route allowed us to see a lot of special sites. Phil catered to our needs (we love to know and learn, see great sites and we needed to make sure my mom enjoyed the event as well). We saw some truly spectacular views, saw Dinosaur tracks, and learned a lot in a very enjoyable way. My wife and I loved it and my mom said it was the best tour of her life!
