BEST experience! My mother, sister and I had a wonderful tour to Joshua tree with Ron as our guide. He was so informative and passionate. We even got to see a desert fox as we hiked. The vehicle was clean, he had individually packaged snacks & waters for us. If you’re in the area and considering taking a tour to Joshua tree, book with big wheel tours and ask for Ron!!

Thank you! Ron was bragging about that gray fox and he actually saw it again during his next tour. We are grateful for your kind words and hope you can join us again!

We took the 1/2 day van tour today and were so lucky to have Ben as our tour guide. He had an idea of where he would take us, but also gave us options and choices of where exactly to go. The park itself is spectacular, and while we were disappointed there were no wildflowers due to the lack of rain this year, there were enough other things to see with all of the boulder formations and of course Joshua trees. Ben is an amazing guide as he is extremely knowledgeable about everything having to do with the desert, so we learned so much! He is also very passionate and personable, and passed on his enthusiasm about the desert. I highly recommend this tour!

We had an excellent experience with Ben as our guide. He was so informative about all of Joshua Tree and led us on a great adventure. It was cold and windy this morning so the Jeep was canceled and we did the van. Very smart decision by the Tour Company. We were able to see many rock formations and stopped to traverse a few. Great photo ops! We did a hike and thoroughly enjoyed that. Even got a little snow along the way, but the van was warm and comfortable for our return. Ben made the whole experience wonderful. He is extremely knowledgeable about little creatures, birds, plants and the history of Joshua Tree. Thank you!
