  Wild Bunch Desert Guides is amazing. The owner, Laurel was one of the best owners of a tour company we had the pleasure of dealing with. We had never been to Arizona and not only was she upfront, direct and honest with us on the weather and going out at an appropriate time--she recommended some other companies and we were able to also utilize them.
  
  Our guide, Jay, was phenemonal --very professional, fun and knew lots of history being a local for as long as he has been. The pace was perfect, our kids LOVED him and he had special treats at the end for them.
  
  We would give Wild Bunch 1,000 stars if we could. Laurel even took the time to come out to the trailhead to say hello and follow up with us after the tour to make sure they had hit the mark.
  
  Highly, without any doubts recommend Wild Bunch Desert Guides for mountain biking--for kids especially they really know how to make is safe, fun and produce amazing memories.
  Thank you Wild Bunch.

  We booked with Wild Bunch Desert Guides after visiting many websites. My husband and I were looking for a nice casual ride and good scenery. We were not disappointed. We were met with by our guide at an easy to find location. Bob had called us prior to our meet to discuss bike size and let us know he would provide everything we needed. When we got there, he was not kidding! Helmets, gloves, backpacks, spf Chapstick, water bottles (new that we took with us) electrolyte solution to add to our water bottles and granola bars. The bikes were in great shape. Our guide Bob mentioned that they were new this year and you could tell they had been well maintained. Bob went over with us what the 3 hour ride would look like and let us know we could stop early if we needed to. To be honest I wondered if 3 hours would be too much. But it was the perfect amount of riding and stopping to rest, drink and talk about what we were seeing. We were not looking for a hardcore fast paced mountain bike ride, although I am pretty sure that could have been accommodated if we had wanted that. It was the perfect ride! Just when I was ready for a stop Bob seemed to gauge that and we would stop, and he would tell us about what we were seeing in the park. His knowledge of the flora and fauna was impressive. He made this ride much more than just a bike ride. I would say that this tour far exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a great ride with beautiful scenery knowledgeable guides and a tour company that adds that extra touch I would look no further. Laurel the owner even called after the ride to make sure we enjoyed our time. A big shout out to Bob our guide for making the day perfect. If we come back to the area, we would love to spend another morning with Bob riding again! Thanks, Wild Bunch Desert Guides.

  Had a great morning with Don mountain biking for the first time! He explained things well and adjusted the trip as we went to our abilities. Also learned a ton about the local plants as well. Highly recommend!

  Laurel set up a first-class mountain biking experience for us. We told her we wanted technical terrain with some tough climbs and The Wild Bunch delivered! Dan was an amazing guide and a really strong rider. I would highly recommend Laurel and her team if you want a top notch, customized experience that will leave you with a giant smile on your face and wanting to plan your next trip to Phoenix to do it again!

  Absolutely Incredible!
  TL;DR: Book them now. The best guides for solos or groups available!
  
  Wild Bunch Desert Guides created the most memorable experience for me in many years. As an avid single track rider from Minnesota who had never ridden in AZ, Wild Bunch took the time to understand what I wanted, my experience level, and set me up with an incredible guided ride through the Sonoran Desert. The 3 hour ride was challenging for me (exactly what I wanted!). We explored technical terrain, some incredible scenery and we made some incredible climbs and descents. I rode with Rebel and Laurel who know the trails very well. They explained where we were going, how to approach different features, and we were able to session some of the most fun rocky descents. 10/10 will definitely do it again.
