Great experience on this tour with Colin. Great way to see the Crown Jewels of Joshua tree park which is the Joshua tree and the beautiful rock formations they have. Colin was extremely engaging and shared many interesting points throughout the tour. P.S He also takes really good photos :)

The entire park is a beautiful and serene environment while offering a variety of levels of activity depending on the desires of participants. Tom Niccum was a superb guide who shared his knowledge and appreciation of the park with us. This driving tour is well worth the time and cost.

The owners of this tour were very communicative from booking to the day of the tour. It worked out for them to pick us up at our hotel, which was very convenient. We were picked up in a large van with a few other visitors, and we were off. Our guide, Will, was amazing... so knowledgeable and funny to boot! I would recommend him for any tour, you could hear the passion behind his stories. There were adequate stops on this tour, with a few minutes available to get out and walk around at each. They also provided water and some light snacks. Will was great about taking pictures of you, so you didn't have to rely on selfies, haha! Overall, the tour was a great use of time and appropriate for the cost. You see the park's main highlights, and as Will said, it gives you a taste so you know where you would want to come back and spend more time. The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is the van. The windows on the van have a coating to help block out the sun (all the tiny black dots), but unfortunately, that blocked out the view too and even caused some slight nausea for me (I understand why those dots would be necessary for the desert). If you are prone to sickness, you may want to look at other tours in different vehicles. This was a great experience at an 'other-worldly' park that should be on everyone's bucket list.

Thank you so much for the kind review Megan! We're sorry to hear you got motion sick! But what you said is correct, we do have the windows tinted to protect guests from the sun. If you ever tour with us again, we'll definitely put you in the front passenger seat to try to avoid it next time. Thanks again for touring with us!
