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!

Backcountry tour - My daughter and I had a great time on this tour. We were able to see parts of the park that we would have never seen without a tour guide. And our experience would have not been complete without our amazing tour guide, Zed. Zed made us feel right at home. He was kind, courteous and genuine. He was knowledgeable about the park and its history. Zed was also patient with the hundreds of questions I ask him. I would recommend this tour guide and this tour for anyone who wants an authentic experience of Arches National Park!

Great way to explore Arches! - This was a fun way to explore Arches. Kevin, our guide, showed us some dinosaur tracks, the original entrance to the park, and a few arches that we probably would have missed if we were on our own! Wonderful tour!

The best time! - Kevin was our tour guide, he made sure that we had the best time! He interacted with us and gave us so much knowledge! It was an absolute blast and definitely worth it. We are a family of 6 and did not know where to go or what to look at so this was our best option. We were able to go in the back ways into the National parks and that made us feel like we got to experience the area in a whole new way. I now feel like my knowledge of the area has grown and made me fall in love with the area. Can't wait to visit Moab again and go here again for all future tours.

A Beautiful Snowy Half Day Tour of Arches - This was a great half day tour. Our tour guide Dave was very friendly and informative. He provided a lot of history, geology and personal experiences in Arches National Park. We will definitely look to Moab Scenic Adventures for another tour next time we get to Moab. We lucked out and had a tour with a dusting of snow in the park which made it really beautiful.
