Reviews for Tucson Tours
P
Arizona and New Mexico in depth
We had a fantastic time with this tour. The drives were long but the guide and the driver are excellent. Our guide Mr. David was very knowledgeable and took lots of good pictures for all four of us. I was so thrill to see the Saguaro cactus at Saguaro NP. We loved White Sand National Monument. Carlsbad cavern was great too. Our favorites are Monument Valley and Horseshoe bend. It is a very well thought out tour. Less people than other popular national parks but very interesting. You will have a chance of less people in your pictures. Highly recommended!!
