An incredible experience with breathtaking landscapes ! Guillaume and Isabelle are amazing guides. We saw Arizona from a whole new perspective, and it was incredible. I highly recommend it !!!
I’m speechless. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. Isabelle checked us in and Gil was our tour guide. Two of the most attentive individuals. Key points: UTVs are comfortable and stable enough to withstand the terrain. Music is a game changer, Video and pictures…included, water included. Wear clothes you can get dirty. Neck scarf…included, Sunset is breathtaking!! With so many different options available, I’m so happy I stumbled upon this excursion. Gil made an incredible video and put it to a song that had a lot of meaning to our group…made me cry. He even followed up after the tour through text to send the video with some kind words. All of my kids want to come back just for this tour alone. Another worthy note is I was never “jolted “ my back was perfectly comfortable the entire trip.
This was an epic experience. The crew was wonderful, polite, informative great time beautiful photos. What a way to spend the day in the desert
Gill and Isabelle are the best! This was a bucket list thing for me and I am so happy I did it with Bigfoot Desert Adventure UTV Tours in Scottsdale, AZ. Isabelle accommodated my special request (I wanted to take pictures rather than drive) and Gill led us on a thrilling 4x4 tour through the magnificent desert-scape of Tonto National Monument.
We had a wonderful experience. Great value for some super fun family time! Views were amazing!
Excellent experience! Gill was great and made us a wonderful video for our trip! The UTV were well maintained and above all the service was outstanding! Highly recommend👍🏻
Absolutely outstanding from start to finish! Bigfoot Desert Adventure UTV Tours delivered one of the most exciting and memorable experiences of our trip. The rugged trails were a blast, cruising through the canyon was exhilarating, and the mountain views were nothing short of breathtaking. The UTVs were great, and the entire adventure felt exciting, immersive, and perfectly suited for anyone who wants to experience the beauty of the Arizona desert in a fun and adventurous way. Gill and Isabelle deserve special recognition. They are the kind of hosts who make an already great experience truly exceptional. Both were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, and it was obvious they genuinely care about the people they take out on these adventures. Even with our last-minute booking for four people, they made everything incredibly easy and took care of us every step of the way. The communication, hospitality, equipment, scenery, and overall adventure exceeded our expectations. We would recommend Bigfoot Desert Adventure to anyone visiting the area, and if you can get a spot on the sunset tour, take it! This is the kind of experience you’ll be talking about long after your trip is over. Gill and Isabelle are #1!
We had the best time! great husband and wife team. So much fun! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun adventure.
What an adventure! Beautiful ride and so fun! Gil was an excellent host and led us to some incredible scenery and an amazing sunset. Highly recommend!
One of the best trip and excellent guide. Highly recommended
We had such a fun time on our side-by-side ride in Scottsdale tonight! Our guide was great and provided snacks and water, plus pictures and a video so we could enjoy the ride and still have the memories. Definitely recommend!
Great views, great equipment, and Gil and his lovely wife are amazing, Don’t think twice - this was a highlight of our trip!
What an amazing experience!!! One of the best UTV experiences we’ve had. The tour guide was phenomenal. Beautiful views. I Would definitely book them again!!
An amazing experience and a wonderful time! Guillaume took us on an unforgettable journey through the desert, showing us its many different landscapes and hidden gems. We loved every minute of it! Highly recommended — don’t hesitate, just go!
Guillaume and his wife are dedicated to making sure you have a memorable experience. The ride on the UTV is a don't miss experience if you are in the Scottsdale area. If you are concerned about it being safe - don't be. It is exhilarating and safe. Tough combination to pull off.
The UTV experience was so much fun! Had a great time with friends exploring the wild desert off-roading! The host was super attentive too. It started out with a bit of rain and colder than expected, and he ran back to his house to grab a jacket for me. Highly recommend!
The tour was absolutely incredible. I'm on adrenaline junkie and I love the terrain and the scenery could not be more perfect! Isabel and her husband were a great guide🩷
This was the most amazing adventure! The sunset tour is the best. So worth the money. The owners are the best!

Greatest activity ever in Arizona
So much fun in the "Gila Monster" ride ! Driving the terrain was awesome, desert scenery with huge cacti was captivating, the sunset colors on the clouds and canyon walls were quite colorful !
It was overall an excellent experience! The views and guide were amazing and extremely nice. It exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend.
Beautiful ride in the desert. Guides were incredibly helpful and friendly. Felt safe, secure, and most of all had a ton of fun! Appreciated them taking photos and videos for us to remember the moment.
Absolutely amazing! Gill and Isabelle were so kind and helpful. We felt safe the entire time and thought it was well worth the money. We would definitely do it again! Highly recommend!
Fun and exciting will come back and tell everyone about them
It was amazing!! The tour guides were super friendly and the tour itself was awesome. We had a blast!!
This was an amazing experience and I would do it again! The cost is worth it especially compared to others in the area… they provide a speaks in the ride (we were jamming at max volume and it was great!) also had water and snacks. We were guided through the details for about 2 hours with multiple stops for great pictures! I would totally do this again and highly recommend.
We had the best time! Our guide was great provided waters n snacks and took plenty of pictures for us. Even made a whole video of our ride and our pictures amd sent to us. Highly recommend!!
I highly recommend this tour. It was so fun and the views and sunset were amazing. Our guide Gill was friendly, professional and knowledgeable, I can’t say enough good things about him.
This is a must do when visiting Scottsdale. The operator and guide Gil made it adventurous while keeping it at a comfortable level for us. And the sunset at the end made it all the better.
This is a must do if you are visiting Scottsdale. The operator and guide Gil was great. He kept it to a level We were comfortable at but also made it adventurous. And the sunset was amazing. Book this tour !!!!
This was our first time to AZ, and it was a short trip, so we wanted to experience the desert in the best way possible. We booked this experience because it lets you be in control of the vehicle and it seemed like it would offer more than the Jeep tours. Gill was a great tour guide. He and his wife are extremely nice and go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience. They provide water and snacks during the ride, and send you photos and video of your tour afterwards. The UTVs are in great shape and take the rough terrain much better than I expected. This was exactly the type of experience we were looking for. We hope to come back one day and do it again.
Amazing experience - memories for a life time. ❤️
Buckle up for a great time! Our hosts were professional and friendly. Highly recommend this excursion.
Fantastic ride through the many different environments of the Arizona countryside! These buggies can cope with any terrain! Wonderful view of the sunset over the desert, calling at a vertical sided canyon and the Verde River, along with other beautiful spots in the desert. Thanks to our hosts who had our safety and enjoyment as top priority and made everything very easy. Would recommend for anyone visiting the area
Really good experience, would recommend to anyone. Exhilarating, fun and well worth the money. Hospitable hosts too. Thank you!!!
Fantastic experience! Guillaume and Isabelle are great hosts and tour guides. The trail was exciting and sunset views impressive. We highly recommend this adventure.
Gill was an amazing guide and did a great job. Showed us some amazing views! Isabelle was wonderful and friendly and got us set up with all of our gear. We had such a great time! Highly recommend!!
Gill and Isabelle were amazing. Amazing first time experience! Highly recommend
Had a great time! UTV drive was great. Beautiful sights. Gill was a great guide. Highly recommend!
What an amazing adventure in the desert! Isabelle and Guillaume gave us an incredible sunset experience on the UTVs from start to finish. The trail is a good thrill but we felt safe the entire time. They provided gaiters and goggles to withstand the dust, and gave us as much water and snacks as we needed during the ride. It was also wonderful to learn about all the terrain and plant life we saw along the way. Also, the UTVs are brand new and equipped with beautiful LED lights and you can listen to your own music along the way via bluetooth. If you are going to choose a UTV tour in the desert, I can’t recommend this Bigfoot Desert Adventure enough! The experience is well worth the cost and you get so much for what you pay. We had a blast and have lots of photo memories to remember this adventure! Thank you!
Our family had a great time with Guillaume from Bigfoot Desert Adventure UTV Tours! My husband, son and I had an awesome time riding with him through the Tonto National Park. The UTV’s were like new and the terrain was challenging but totally fun. Lots of opportunities for views, photos and time to rest. So easy to book and his wife was a great help getting us there on time and to the right spot. Would definitely recommend for families or groups!! Our 12-year old had a blast!
Got to see the desert and canyon on the 2 hour ride. The whole family had fun going over rocks up and down hills. Desert can be hot and suggest wearing a long sleeve shirt and booking morning ride. They will provide helmet, googles, and a neck gator to keep dust away from your mouth. We had a total of 10 people in our group and had two 4 seaters and 2 two seaters. The guide stopped at plenty of places to take pictures. Pace was good so you can go fast and not poke around. Host also provides a video and films part of the ride for you.
This was the BEST thing we did in Arizona! The guides were phenomenal, the views were beautiful and the FUN was unmatched!
Unbelievable! This was hands down the best way to end our day! The tour was amazing, especially stopping in the canyon & at the river! This is a small, family owned business & they truly have put their heart & souls into this company! They made a dream come true & taking a tour with Bigfoot Adventures will not disappoint! I’d give them 20 stars if I could!
Oh the overall experience was amazing. Signing up was hassle free. Zero ride time wasted. Safety briefing and gear was in order. Equipment was in perfect order. We were excited from the beginning. We definitely got our monies worth. The ride itself was close to three hours long. Stops for pictures, water, snack and bathroom break. The vistas were great. We went down into the valley. Stopped along a river. This trip was only my wife and I. We had our own rig. Our guide had his own rig and took hit time with us.
This was so awesome, so DOPE!!! We love every minute of this tour. The pics, videos, and the entire excursion was truly phenomenal!
The experience was out of this world. The guide showed us what we needed and how it worked before we left, between the helmets, bandana to keep the dust out, along with the goggles, and how to operate the vehicle appropriately. The whole experience was one to remember between the views, the utilization of the Bluetooth while driving, the lighting on the vehicle, and the off roading it was definitely something both myself and my wife enjoyed. The whole tour took about two hours but it was the best 2 hours spent. The guides also made sure where things got a little sketchy to stop and get out to ensure we followed him exactly to prevent any injuries and or damages to the vehicle which both my wife and I appreciated especially since we haven’t driven one of these before. Throughout the 2 hours duration the guide was very attentive and made sure everyone in the group was having fun, was hydrated, had snacks, and if they wanted any pictures they made sure to ask and seize a beautiful moment in time in the picture. When my wife and i went we had a smaller group but that was ok for us. I genuinely believe everyone would enjoy this tour. Honestly the price for the whole experience is totally worth it. Next time my wife and I are visiting Arizona we will definitely book this tour again
