You will visit Saguaro Lake, which is a favorite boating location that is brimming with various species of fish.  It is located between Phoenix and Sunflower.  The Superstition Mountains, also highlighted on the trip, are a preferred recreational area for Phoenix area residents and provide the perfect backdrop for your tour.  Finally, there will be a stop at Weaver’s Needle, which is frequently visited by rock climbers and those searching for gold.  People have continued to comb this area because of a legend that the shadow it casts will lead to the Lost Dutchman’s Gold.

Along the way, you may be surprised at the amount of wildlife you encounter, including lizards, scorpions, tarantulas, coyotes, and others in addition to the cacti dotting the area.  If you so choose, you can also take a look around at night on the Hummer Night Tour from Scottsdale.  This tour takes you through the desert in total darkness, as your tour guide will use military Nite Vision to lead you along the path.  Guests use Nite Vision Scopes, allowing them to have a look at their surroundings and at the wildlife that are said to move around a lot more after dark.

For those who are interested in astronomy, there is a chance to try out the new “Sky Scout,” a handheld scope that gives audio and visual information on individual planets.  Each person on the tour gets their own so you can have a personal planetarium right at your fingertips!

Whether you choose to check out Phoenix’s desert during the day or at night, you are sure to gain a unique perspective on the area.  Seeing it all by Hummer allows you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see it all up close like never before.

To visit St. Louis is to experience the true uniqueness of the Missouri landscape lined with beautiful architectural pieces that define the city and contribute to its distinctiveness.  St. Louis is a modern city whose focus is primarily on medicine and biotechnology.  However, there is a strong historic influence there as well.  Along Route 66, you will pass by some bowling alleys, motels, and other venues that have managed to hold onto their 1950s feel.

For a closer look at the city’s architectural prowess, take the St. Louis Architecture Tour by SUV.  The tour will take you to the city’s most distinguished buildings from old to new, including Sugar Loaf Mound, Grant’s Farm House, Forest Park and Bevo Hill, among others.  You will also visit all three St. Louis Water Towers.  This is important because only seven historic standpipe towers in the entire United States have survived to this day.

These tours carry only two to six passengers, so groups are intimate enough to ask questions and large enough for you to gain the experience and expertise of others on the trip including your knowledgeable tour guide who will also be present to steer you in the right direction.

If you are dying to take a more nontraditional tour but aren’t sure where to start, try out the St. Louis Beer Lovers Tour.  Throughout the day you will sample a variety of beers from large and small breweries as you travel to Anheuser-Busch, Schlafly, Trailhead, and more.  This trip is personalized to fit the needs of your small group.

As you can see, there is much fun to be had on your visit to Missouri, if you know where to look.  Why not start your trip out right by researching your options ahead of time? Check out www.stlouistours.net for more details and to reserve tickets for your best tours yet!
