Fantastic, unique experience! - Brandon was super knowledgeable, engaging, and overall an interesting dude. He was patient with all our questions, serious or not, and didn’t mind being compared to an audio tour guide. If anything, he upped his game with the challenge! And the bats love him. We got to see a black widow spider on the way down from the arch…it was a tour that delivered everything advertised and more!

Bucketlist -listen up. Do not miss this!!! - My wife and I did the Corona Arch galactic cluster tour. Starts at midnight for hours. Hands down best investment of you time for once Ina lifetime experience. Hole in the dark with headlamps ( not at all scary as it sounds, actually really cool). Get to the arch and turn off your lamps a bazzzilllion stars come Out. Perfect silence Brandon was an AWESOME guide made everything perfect and easy. Laying under the stars. Teaches you how to take amazing pictures. We only bought iPhone 14s with us. The attached picture is from that phone. So r miss their opportunity, there are only a couple places in the US to do this. None with an Arch!!! Just do it ! Btw we are a couple in our late 50s, perfect for anyone in ok shape

Delicate Arch is just stunning at night - This was an amazing tour- our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He knew the area and explained some of the history to us, which was nice. He also took the time to go over all things camera related which was nice as we are relative beginners. Would recommend 100% -
