Our guide, Ron, was amazing! He was super engaging, knowledgeable and he personalized the tour for us so we could spend more time where/how we wanted to. He imparted a certain appreciation for the park that I'm not sure we would have gained otherwise. Additionally, the prospect of planning a day in Joshua Tree all on our own was quite overwhelming, but going on a tour such as this takes all of that stress off your shoulders. Would absolutely recommend!

The trip was very good and informative, but the real highlight of the trip was captain Ron he went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great time and we had people of all ages and health abilities. He made sure everyone had a good time and made our visit memorable.

We had an excellent time on this tour! Ron, our guide, was welcoming right from the start. While I was anticipating the tour to start when we got to Joshua Tree National Park, Ron told us a lot about the Palm Spring area on the way (and the way back) which was great! The tour inside Joshua Tree was really informative and fun. Perfectly summed up by saying "I wish we had more time." Between life stories and a full scale botany class, Ron gave so much insight on the national park and it's wonders! I could not recommend this tour more and is a must-do when in the area!
