"I found a deal on Groupon for a 2 hour ride and I was going with a friend so you really couldn't beat the price. Leading up to the ride I was a little skeptical because of some of the reviews I read but it ended up being one of our favorite things we did on our trip to Arizona. \n\nOur group had about 12 people in it and I was towards the back half so I couldn't hear the guide but I really didn't mind. From what I could hear it sounded more like small talk instead of a tour so I don't think I really missed out on much. Plus, I thought it was really peaceful and relaxing to be riding in the desert in silence. \n\nI also read another review about it being too dusty and by a BMX trail. To be honest - you're in the desert in the middle of Arizona so I wouldn't expect anything other than dust. And the views definitely made up for it. As for the BMX trail - I didn't get the impression that it was a dedicated trail and our guide made it very clear to us that he did not support having bikes anywhere close to the horses. \n\nI would definitely recommend this and would love go horseback riding again next time I'm in Arizona. The only thing to remember is to bring cash for a tip! My friend and I both forgot to grab cash before we went and I felt terrible not tipping because our guide definitely earned his."^^ . "5"^^ .
