As with most places or works of art that one hears about all of the time, like Mt. Rushmore and Michelangelo’s David, this is a destination that needs to be seen in person to get the full impact. Ben was a great tour guide , and made sure that we got a fill range of views and different aspects of the park. Loved this tour, and would do it again. Might try the Jeep tour next time, for a different experience. And on a slightly different note, Evan was very accommodating to my changing schedule. I was supposed to be in PS in March, 2020, but we all know how that went. Then I rebooked in March, 2021, but had to push that to May. Each time, Evan was willing to flip the tours without a complaint. I appreciated his flexibility during the pandemic, and would book again with Big Wheels in a heartbeat.

It was our first time to Joshua and we really loved the experience. Our guide Ron was amazing, really passionate about nature and great personality. He knew a lot about geology, fauna, flora and history. On the way to park he told us about geology and places we were seeing from the car. In the park he was talking about rocks, flora and animals living in the park. He also showed us some photos of animals he met there before (we only got to see squirrels and birds) and gave us recommendation for future hiking in the park. At every stop we got as much time as we needed to explore the place more and take some pictures. On the way back we had a nice chat. SUV was comfortable, clean and air conditioned, variety of snacks and water provided.

Cpt. Ron was the best guide. His knowledge of the flora and fauna was so interesting and he shared the geology of the land in a very interesting way.
