With a perfect rating across hundreds of reviews, this Scottsdale-based outdoor adventure company clearly knows how to deliver. The guides—Bob, Joe, Mike, Shawn, John, and Jeff among them—consistently get praised for being knowledgeable, safety-conscious, and genuinely fun to spend time with. They excel at reading their groups and adjusting difficulty levels on the fly, whether you're mountain biking through McDowell Sonoran Preserve or hiking Camelback Mountain at sunrise. Several reviewers mention feeling like they were adventuring with a friend rather than just a hired guide. Owner Laurel stands out for exceptional customer service, taking extensive time to walk clients through safety protocols and making sure bookings feel smooth from start to finish. The team goes beyond basic guiding with thoughtful touches like birthday cupcakes on summits, professional photos sent after trips, and resort pickups in well-appointed vehicles. They work with solo travelers, couples, corporate groups, and families with seniors, consistently tailoring experiences to match abilities. The genuine care for client safety is evident throughout, even in cases where weather forced trip cancellations.
I booked a private mountain bike tour for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. Our guide Bob was very friendly and a really informative. He was very conscientious of making sure we felt comfortable and that Any technical challenges would be suited to us as novice, mountain bike riders. The trails we went on in the McDowell Mountain preserve were really fun. We were in a section that didn’t require a whole lot of uphill climb and lots of nice downhill windy trails. It was great! I highly recommend Wild Bunch Desert Guides and would absolutely do it again. A perfect way to do something exciting and different on our anniversary.
