We set up the tour online and were contacted a little later by our tour guide, Mel. He confirmed our reservation and hotel pickup spot. Mel arrived at our hotel the following morning, explained the destinations we were going to see, and provided water and snacks. The vehicle was clean and comfortable and Mel was exceptional in providing information on both the history and geology of everything we saw during the tour. He would stop to allow us to take pictures if there was something we wanted to see along the way, even if it wasn’t necessarily a designated stopping spot. Once we had completed the tour, Mel drove us back to our hotel, while also answering questions about other things to see and do in the surrounding area. I highly recommend Mel and his tour company as we couldn’t have asked for better. We will definitely be booking with him again on a return trip. A+++ experience!!

We were looking for a tour that could show us the most difficult-to-access spots in the area around Torrey and Hanksville. We could not have asked for better! Our guide Jenny was amazing! Such a knowledgeable and passionate person; wow! It was even more exciting to see beautiful places, with the details Jenny gave us about the history of the area. She shared her knowledge of history and geology with us. She was also invaluable as a photographer: she gave us tips on how to take photos and where to fly our drone! Don't miss the opportunity to learn about this part of Utah with such knowledgeable and passionate people!

Our guide, Mel, was an excellent host. It was an overcast/light rainy day and Mel offered to take us to check out the route to see if there might be any difficulty. There wasn't and we ended up having the most amazing views because of the weather. Safety is the upmost importance with Mel and we absolutely felt safe throughout the whole tour. Mel is also a great conversationalist and highly knowledgeable. We loved every moment we spent with him. We highly recommend him and Jenny, who is also an excellent guide, and the Moonscape tour. It's not to be missed.
