This was a great experience. I didn't know what to expect and was very pleasantly surprised. Our guide Ben was fantastic! He was friendly, accommodating to our needs, and extremely knowledgeable about everything in the park. If you book a tour ask for Ben.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our 5 hours with Jeff. He was very accommodating. We found him interesting to visit with and lots of knowledge about the area. He pulled up to a curb, where available, so it was easier for me to get in and out of the vehicle. He also had a step stool that was appreciated. We started on the Cottonwood Spring end and he kept promising us we would eventually get to the Joshua tree area. Since we had 5 hours we weren't too worried. He educated us on a lot of different plants and eco systems of the area. Being from MN it was all new and different. Jeff also offered to take our picture in several places which was very much appreciated.
