Scottsdale is one of those rare places where every kind of group can have a completely different experience and still share the same desert backdrop and sunshine. JoyRidesAZ Scottsdale Tours keeps every tour private, with a local guide and a comfortable open-air vehicle, so your day feels tailored to your people instead of a generic group outing.
Whether you are planning a date night, a family outing, a bachelorette weekend, or a team event, the question is not “Is there a tour for us?” but “Which private Scottsdale tour fits us best?” This guide walks through the main group types JoyRidesAZ serves and points you to tours and services that are already listed on their site, so everything stays accurate and grounded in what they really offer.
Private Scottsdale tours for couples
If you are visiting Scottsdale as a couple or planning a special night out close to home, a private tour is a low-stress way to explore Old Town without worrying about parking, directions, or long walks in the sun.
JoyRidesAZ offers several tasting and city experiences that work especially well for two to six guests:
- Scottsdale Wine Tastings Tour – a three-hour experience that combines an open-air city ride with visits to local tasting rooms for wine flights and a shared charcuterie board.
- Scottsdale Fiesta Margarita and Taco Tour – a festive ride that includes three margaritas, three tacos, photos, and a guided city overview in Old Town Scottsdale.
- Scottsdale Brew and Spirits Tour – a three-hour tour hosted by a beer enthusiast guide, with brew samplings, a cocktail, an appetizer, and time to see more of the city.
- Scottsdale Instagram and Murals Tour – a one-hour photo-focused experience where you choose several mural or backdrop locations while your guide takes photos and airdrops them at the end.
- Scottsdale Holiday Lights Tour in season – a one-hour open-air ride through some of Scottsdale’s most festive holiday displays, priced per vehicle.
Couples who want a mix of sightseeing and relaxed tasting usually look at the Wine Tastings Tour or the Brew and Spirits Tour. If photos and content are the priority, the Instagram and Murals Tour is built for that, and holiday visitors can add the Holiday Lights Tour during late November and December.
Family-friendly private tours in Scottsdale
Families often need something that works for kids, teens, parents, and sometimes grandparents, all with different energy levels. JoyRidesAZ leans into that with private tours that keep walking to a minimum and focus on interactive storytelling instead of long lines or crowded buses.
For multi-generational families and groups with kids, these tours are strong fits:
- Scottsdale Old Town City Tour – a private city overview that covers history, districts, local restaurants, galleries, and museums from the comfort of an open-air vehicle.
- Scottsdale Gelato and Ice Cream Tour – a family-friendly ride that includes local gelato and ice cream stops along with a guided city tour and photo opportunities.
- Scottsdale Public Art Tour – a curated route that highlights sculptures and public art throughout Old Town, with chances to stop for photos and questions.
- Old Town Scottsdale’s Best of the West Tour – a Western-themed tour that visits historic and cultural sites tied to Scottsdale’s heritage.
- Scottsdale Holiday Lights Tour in season – an easy way for every age to enjoy the lights together in one vehicle without anyone needing to drive.
Because all JoyRidesAZ tours are private boutique experiences, families can ask their guide to adjust the pace, add photo stops, or spend a little more time in the areas the kids love most, as long as it fits within the booked tour format and timing.
Private Scottsdale tours for bachelorette groups
Scottsdale is a top bachelorette destination, and JoyRidesAZ has an entire Bachelorette page dedicated to helping planners pick the right mix of tours. Every experience stays private for your group, and the guide focuses on keeping the day or night flowing smoothly.
According to that service page and its recommended tours, popular choices for bachelorette parties include:
- Fiesta Margarita and Taco Tour – for groups who want a fun, social route with food, drinks, photos, and local recommendations along the way.
- Wine Tastings Tour – ideal for groups who prefer wine flights and a more relaxed tasting room atmosphere in addition to the open-air ride.
- Brew and Spirits Tour – a good match for groups that want beer and cocktail experiences along with city time.
- Sip and Shop Tour – focused on boutiques and shopping, plus a tasting room flight and shared charcuterie board as described on the Scottsdale Tours page.
- Instagram and Murals Tour – perfect earlier in the day for photos before a night out.
- Old Town Gelato and Ice Cream Tour or the Old Town City Tour – flexible options when the group includes relatives or friends who prefer a lighter experience.
Bachelorette planners can also use the Scottsdale Private Driver service when they want custom timing or to pair a tour with dinner and nightlife, using JoyRidesAZ as the consistent transportation throughout the evening.
Private Scottsdale experiences for corporate teams
Corporate groups need experiences that feel organized and thoughtful, while still being relaxed and fun. JoyRidesAZ offers a dedicated Scottsdale Corporate Experience page along with several tours that are frequently used for team building, client hosting, and small group celebrations.
Depending on the size of the group and the goal for the outing, companies often combine:
- Corporate Experience – fully customized experiences that can include foodie tours, Arizona trivia, scavenger-style events, or themed routes across Old Town, as described on the corporate page.
- Old Town City Tour, Best of the West Tour, or True West Immersion Tour – strong starting points for giving out-of-town guests a sense of Scottsdale’s history and culture.
- Wine Tastings Tour or the Brew and Spirits Tour – ideal for smaller teams who want a hosted evening with tastings and a city ride.
- Instagram and Murals Tour – a creative team building option that focuses on shared photo moments and art.
- Group Transportation and the Scottsdale Private Driver service – used to move guests between hotels, meeting venues, and Old Town before or after a tour.
Because tours are private, organizers can work directly with JoyRidesAZ to match start times, length, and general focus with their schedule while staying within the formats and inclusions listed on each tour page.
