Our our guide Derek was professional, approachable, organized & knew & shared lots of Arizona facts. He drove the clean new cargo van on the mountain roads very well to Canyon Lake. He is a safe driver. He should be commended for a job well done with no hesitation.

It was a long day and very hot. The Apache Trail was so so but the boat ride was excellent. Our guide Frank was very knowledgeable.
