Bruce, our driver and guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. He has a great sense of humor and was able to answer all of our questions. We were a group of 4 and a group of 3, therefore 7 paying customers. The 4 of us found it expensive for what we got. The price point should be below 200.00$ each at about 180.00. We hardly got out of the van and we drove by skull rock. He asked if we wanted to get out but it was awkward because I didn’t want to be the only person who said yes. A little 10-15 minute walk would have made the experience a lot more memorable. It was rather disappointing.

Hi there! We're sorry your trip ended up being disappointing. Each guest is more than welcome to ask to stop whenever they see something they want to stop for. You're also able to request to your guide upon arrival for the tour if you have a desire to especially walk around and do a hike so they can incorporate that. We hope you'll do another tour with us again to make your experience even better next time!

One of the most unusual and unknown national parks to visit. Ben did a great job on educating us about the park, the Joshua trees and all the species that call this area home. Totally worth it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Jeff! He did a great job of making our tour enjoyable and educational. He asked questions to find out what kinds of things we were most interested in and adjusted the tour accordingly. We appreciated that he never made us feel rushed when we wanted to walk around - especially loved the cholla cactus garden. Another favorite spot was Eureka overlook. He took pictures of us on our camera for us. My husband is very interested in geological features of the park and Jeff gave us lots of info and explanations. I definitely recommend this tour with Jeff! It was the highlight of our time at Joshua Tree,
