This is a must for anyone visiting the Palm Springs area. The Tour Guide - Susie, was absolutely incredible in every way. She was personable and friendly, without trying. She was so knowledgeable about the history of the area and provided lots of fun facts. She kept us on schedule but most importantly she went above and beyond to make sure that as a solo traveler - I had a welcoming and nourishing experience. Her positive energy was a delight to be around. The views throughout the park were spectacular. I wouldn’t do it any other way.

Thank you so much for the kind review, Gabriel! Susie is our newest guide, so we're happy she's fitting right in with the rest of the Big Wheel crew! We'd love to have you back for another tour in the future!

On Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022, two couples and myself received a hybrid driving / off road tour of Joshua Tree NP. Our guide, Jeff, was very a knowledgeable, passionate and experienced tour guide. I felt that the afternoon was well spent and that I accomplished what I wanted to attain: a comprehensive over view of Joshua Tree NP including most of the iconic sites, geology and park history. I'm finding that, for a first time visit to a national park, finding a really good driving tour is the way to go. Money well spent!

The park is beautiful, I wish I had more time to explore it all. Will, our guide, was knowledgeable and made the information fun to listen to. I am sad I didn't get to see the sunset because the rest of the group was too cold for it, so that's a tip, go prepare if you're taking the afternoon tour, it gets very cold at the top. I hope to return and take the tour that will show me and teach me about the rest of the park.
