Josh B made our trip the best. We enjoyed seeing Arches with him so much, we booked him again to take us into Cannonlands. If you do the tours you won't be disappointed.

Kudos to Buzz our driver for a terrific tour through the canyon in Canyonlands National Park. It is the only way to really see the canyon in all it's glory. My husband and I decided to take this tour not realizing how much we would see and enjoy being driven through the canyon. The views are something I will never forget. Driving up some of those roads and the cliff faces were a bit scary and I was glad we had a driver who was used to driving in the canyons. He took us through those dirt trails up and down the mountains like a pro. We were right up to the top of mountains at the cliff edges and able to see down into the valleys. Just gorgeous views. Don't miss this opportunity. It worth it!!

What a great day! The weather was perfect for a off road tour to Canyonlands National Park. Josh B.was our guide and we liked him so much that we booked a tour of Arches for the next day. As a matter of fact, I'm planning a trip to take my grandkids there. Loved it!

Our tour of Canyonlands was fantastic. The driver/guide Josh from Navetech was super terrific.. not only did will go on 4 wheel only tracks, but the drive on the cliffs and the stops for pictures and his information was super. He told us where to take pictures and would say.. we needed to move a few more feet before we took the picture we wanted because it would be much better. He was knowledgeable and personable. The entire trip was quite an adventure and was well worth the money. He picked us up at our hotel and returned us there in one peace.. He even suggested a place in Arches for us to go to shoot a fabulous sunset .. if you can request Josh...

I told you I Lisa took us in the back door of Canyon lines along the Colorado River and drove us all the way to the top. She was courteous friendly and amazingly knowledgeable. We would recommend her to any future clients.

The trip to Canyonlands National Park was an awesome experience. Not being too familiar with Canyonlands we were both surprised and amazed with the beauty of the park. Our guide Tony provided wonderful insight into the park, while being an excellent driver also. Our safety and comfort was his primary objective, besides showing us the wonders of the park. We would do it again and ask for Tony.

This was a very thrilling ride -- just enough thrill. One of our riders was extremely afraid of heights but ventured on the tour any way. While riding the White pass in Canyonlands National park, our tour guide paid close attention to her throughout that part of the journey because of the closeness to the cliffs. She was exhilarated after reaching the top! Our tour guide was informative about the different landscapes we saw and was pleasantly interactive with us.

Beautiful country and this tour gives you a backstage look at the amazing sights hidden from the main road. I also loved the local history that our guide, Mike, provided. A great experience!
