This was our favorite activity of our entire trip!! It was an incredible experience. Dave is a true professional and is beyond talented in his field. Not only is it educational but offers such an incredible perspective on life. We will be back with our kids for sure!! Could not recommend booking enough!!

Jennifer

Dave was so knowledgeable about Arizona’s history and landscape. It was a lovely evening of star gazing.

Tanya_T

A MUST Do when visiting Arizona!!! David was an AMAZING tour guide. He knew a plethora of knowledge about the state and surrounding terrain. Once we arrived to our designated area he set up food and drinks and he shared with us some creepy crawlers that he asked if he could bring along. Once the stars came out to play it was a sight to see. He gave us binoculars and set up a telescope in order for us to experience seeing Jupiter and its moons and Ring's of Saturn up close and personal. We felt completely safe on our journey and enjoyed his personality.

Jenny_H

Had a wonderful time hearing history of Scottsdale, local Indian tribes, creatures, agriculture, and the beautiful night skies. Very knowledgeable and engaging guide. UFO siting unconfirmed but we like to think we saw it.

What an unforgettable experience! We were picked up by David, who knows everything there is to know about Arizona. We did an easy desert hike and got to experience the uniqueness of the area. He was able to show us everything to see in the night sky. The stars in that area were spectacular. Throughout, David was patient and easygoing. Ever since we have gotten home, my 10 year old son (who is not the easiest kid to engage with) wants to tell everyone about our tour. He even said that our guide was "cool" (which I agree with).

This was a great tour. David is extremely knowledgeable about the area's history, the animals, the plants, and the sky. He shared a lot of great information. Well paced tour. It was a clear night, with an unfortunate full moon, but David made the best of it and showed us many constellations and features. Great snacks too! Will do this or another MyArizonaGuide tour next time we are in the area. Thank you David!

David was knowledgeable and wonderful! It was a perfect clear night, but cold. It was great would do it again.

Mandy_L

David was so nice and knowledgeable. He gave us a lot of history tidbits along with a greater understanding of the starry sky!

Bob_R

We really enjoyed getting out into the Sonoran desert away from Phoenix to see the stars. David was thoroughly knowledgeable and patient as we peppered him with questions. He also brought along a few reptillian friends to show us. This was a very enjoyable experience and I highly recommend it. Bob Riley

My husband and I really enjoyed this experience. It was exciting to listen to the wild life in the Superstition Mountains and watch the constellations and other stars come out as the night sky got darker. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and made the experience a worthwhile and meaningful trip! I would highly recommend it!
