"Dear Roch,
I wanted to write to thank you and Tom for an amazing expedition through the desert last week! My girlfriends and I had a blast on our 3-hour journey riding high in our chili-pepper red jeep in the red hot New Mexican sun. Within minutes of starting our journey, we encountered a beautiful band of wild horses. Seeing ancient petraglyphs and artifacts from an early 1900’s ghost town were some of the highlights for me. Tom was an excellent tour guide offering us the perfect blend of historic and cultural info as well as providing us with some great laughs. The four of girls are all from Philadelphia and were touring the Southwest as part of our Thelma & Louise style road trip on Route 66. Albuquerque was our last stop, and I can’t think of a better way to end the trip than to go off road with the top down, soaking in the natural beauty of the American desert.
Warmest regards,



Tiffany"

"We were new to Albuquerque and wanted to experience the history and natural wonders of Albuquerque. Roch showed us parts of Albuquerquewe never would have seen on our own and made what we were seeing come alive with his historical knowledge enhanced with great stories. The time on our tour flew by and we can’t wait to do another tour in the fall!

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Jeep Tour that my friend and I took with NM Jeep tours. The area between Albuquerque and Santa Fe is a treasure trove of surprises, and our guide, Roch, knew right where to find petroglyphs, fossils, and ancient pottery for us to marvel at. We were amazed by all the historic and geological information he shared with us. The roads we traveled were a thrill a minute and we felt very safe with him at the wheel. He spotted and stopped for any wildlife even as small as a horny toad or lizard. He went above and beyond to find us a Winery at the end of our tour. Here's to you Roch for a grand tour and a great time.

"Roch
We really enjoyed the private jeep tour into the New Mexico back country last month. Your knowledge in locating the ancient petroglyphs, pottery pieces, fossils, ghost towns and wild horses made for an informative and memorable morning.
Our initials and home state would be fine.
Thanks again

B and B from Ohio"

"Roch,
Lori and I are still talking about how awesome the jeep tour was last June. It was more than we could ever expect. With our love of photography, you allowed us to really put our Nikons to work. Thanks again for your flexibility to pick us up earlier than usual and make sudden stops on request to allow us to take photos from the smallest detail ( grass, lizards, rocks, pottery sherds, petroglyphs, ect. ) to massive landscapes with the Sandia Mountains as a backdrop. Your access to private property made a unique visit to the Native American ruins, Spanish ruins and the mining ghost town. History, geology, creation and seeing God's handy work from many different angles was almost unbelievable to have so much packed into a one day tour. We are looking forward to our next photography run on one of your other tours. Who knows, maybe I will have beginners luck again and find another sherd pot that no one has found yet.

See you next time......Rick and Lori "

"What brought us to Albuquerque, New Mexico, was an annual conference and meetings, which are held at various locations in North America. These events provide us with an opportunity to experience the different landscapes and cultures. As such, we try to “play tourist”, time permitting, in order to appreciate and understand the quilt of our continent and bring back fond memories. Our excursion with New Mexico Jeep Tours has satisfied all of our expectations, and more.

As opposed to a typical tour, packed in a bus with many people, led by a moderator who may or may not have knowledge of what we are about to view, New Mexico Jeep Tours provided us with the opportunity for personal exploration, which was moderated by a local guide (Roch, owner) who has in-depth knowledge of the terrain and experience with the local cultures. In fact, Roch’s enthusiasm was so contagious that we truly felt like we belonged.

Roch tailored our excursion to our level of ability and interest. This enables everyone to participate, whether elderly, handicapped or initially lacking enthusiasm. While Roch brought us to various petroglyphs, and explained their origins and meaning, wild horses curiously and cautiously made their way by us to join their group. Whoever says that the desert is dead is surely mistaken. The lizards and the little desert frogs, as well as the blooming cacti, assured us that the topography was just different from ours and certainly thriving.

We can say with assuredness that our introduction to New Mexico by NM Jeep Tours was one that we will always remember fondly. Roch’s professionalism, sincerity and integrity, as well as his in-depth knowledge and experiences, exemplifies the variables necessary to be a legitimate tour operator.

We therefore have absolutely no hesitation in recommending NM Jeep Tours to our friends and colleagues. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Roch for ensuring that our day’s excursion was both memorable and enlightening.
