"Coyote Adventures totally exceeded my expectations! The pre-trip vehicle inspection in Phoenix really set the scene for an incredibly well-thought-out trip. Our guide, Art, was super knowledgeable and made talking to locals easy because he speaks both Spanish and English. Knowing Baja like the back of his hand, he took us to some awesome places that I'm pretty sure most tourists miss. Safety was a big deal too, with secure travel areas and a chase vehicle just in case. But the real cherry on top? The amazing food stops along the way. Seriously, can't wait for my next adventure with Coyote!"
