Heart pumping fun! - We had no idea what to expect when we signed up for this tour. It was so exhilarating and fun! My husband and I are in our sixty’s and still enjoy challenging ourselves. Aaron did a great job of instructing us each step of the way during the day. Between mountain goating and rappelling, he was very good at making sure we were safe and comfortable the whole time. The day was filled with beautiful sites and heart pumping activities. Thanks again Aaron! 😎

Absolutely the highlight of our vacation - 100% recommend and would do it again! Communication from Ben the owner a few days before the trip and from our guide was awesome. Easy meet up point and drive to the trail head. Our guide Aaron was the best! Friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. We have never done anything like this before and he made us all feel super comfortable. Love the fact that it is private with just your group. Our group consisted of myself, husband and our two kids who are 20 and 15.

Pristine day hine - Aaron was our guide and he was fantastic! He was quick setting up the rappels and Tyrolean and had a kind, friendly manner. The hike was pristine and a place we wouldn’t have gotten to on our own. It was well worth the money as we had a memorable experience. I would do another guided trip with him if I ever come down to Tucson again.

A Day We Will Never Forget - INCREDIBLE! - My boyfriend and I went on the 1/2 Day Canyoneering trip with Aaron on Tues, 12/5 and had an incredible experience! It was my first time so I was very scared but Aaron made me feel so comfortable and safe. He was extremely knowledgeable and experienced and guided me through the day every step of the way. The scenery was spectacular and we had a blast. I highly recommend this trip and guide! You will not be disappointed..

Great time rappelling and traversing a beautiful canyon - My husband and I joined Ben for a half-day of canyoneering. We had a great time. Ben was a fantastic guide. We hiked, rappelled, and traverse over the rocks. It was an excellent experience and we would do it again for a full day. If you're in the Tucson area and like adventure, try it.

Great people, great times, must do! - This is a must do regardless of if you are from Tucson or just visiting. You get a chance to see a beautiful part of the desert in a way no one else visiting gets to. Aaron was great and worked with my wife and I at a very comfortable pace. They reached out the day before to confirm everything and provide all the details we could need. All in a this was a great adventure and would highly recommend Altitude and Aaron to anyone looking for a great way to explore and adventure.
