We had a great experience with Paul! He was so friendly as well as knowledgeable and accommodating. He really knows how to read his audience. The scenery was beautiful, the bikes were in great shape. He provided backpacks, water, snacks, etc. Paul and the whole experience exceeded our expectations! We even booked a second trip with Paul for the next day.

A last minute decision, and our favorite part of our trip to AZ. Paul was exceptional, from start to finish, we learned so much about the area and were challenged on our bikes. We had an absolute blast and cannot wait to book him for another tour. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, and provided several recommendations for the rest of our trip. See ya in keystone 😉

My 2 twenty something boys and I had a great experience with Paul from Arizona Adventure Guides. Paul was very accommodating by providing ALL the appropriate equipment, including lots of water, and adjusted the ride to challenge us but not over work us. Paul is a great guide as we learned much about the desert from him.
I highly recommend Arizona Adventure Guides to anyone looking for an enjoyable experience in the desert.

If we could rate Paul higher, we would. Appreciated tailoring our ride to our ability levels. Stopped often enough, but not too much to appreciate the beautiful scenery. He provided all quality gear, plus more than enough water plus snacks during ride. Always stopped in advance of difficult areas to explain how to handle.

Yesterday, I did a Private Guided Mountain Bike Tour with Paul Hemming. We rode the Pima-Dynamite Trail in northern Scottsdale. Overall, it was a great experience! I think Paul did a great job with leading and teaching me the fundamentals of mountain bike riding. The trail was a bit of a challenge, but I say that in a positive way, as I am always looking for a challenge to improve and get out of my comfort zone. He also pointed out some of the unique plant life along the way. Definitely a two thumbs up on this experience, and a great way to spend two hours in a very beautiful part of the country!

It was awesome! Paul was a great tour guide and helped us get used to the bikes. We took it a nice and easy path in the beginning before hitting harder ones. Also, he was knowledgeable of the surrounding areas!

It was great to learn about the desert. It’s quite different than our home in Florida. We have never been to Arizona and the desert is beautiful. We will definitely be back and will be taking another bike tour. Paul was awesome. He took the time to make sure we were comfortable on the bikes and chose trails that matched our fitness and skill level. During the ride he would stop to give us a break and tell us about the desert. We couldn’t ask for a better guide. He even had drinks and snacks for us after the ride. Can’t say enough good things about the whole experience.
