We typically pick up from your hotel or residence for no additional charge. It is usually a 20-35 minute transit to our off-road trail from most locations in Tucson.

The suggested gratuity is 10-15% of the tour price, or whatever you feel is appropriate. If you prefer, we can also add a gratuity to the credit card used to pay for your tour.
