This was an excellent experience and well worth the cost as I was provided with a tour that included the major highlights of the park. My tour guide, Ben, was well informed about the flora, landscape and enhanced the experience greatly. This is rather useful if you want to learn about Joshua Tree

Thank you David! Our guides really do bring the park to life with their enthusiasm and knowledge. We are proud to have Ben on our team

Isobel was an excellent tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable about the park and all things geography, and is also very enthusiastic, and friendly. Would highly recommend a tour with her. My only criticism is that you can only partially see out of the rear windows of the van due to the mesh logo which obscures the full view of the park. This was really disappointing given how long we spent in the van - we couldn't take in some of the sights properly - strongly suggest this mesh is removed.

Thank you for the kind words about Isabel. Well this was the first time that we had vehicles wrapped and the design company assured us that the mesh would not impede visibility....our apologies!

On February 23rd my wife and myself took the Joshua Tree bus tour. Alhough part of the park was closed due to snow Isobel, our guide, did a fantastic job of navigating to as many places of interest as possible. She had outstanding knowledge of the park and relayed this in a warm and friendly way. She is a great asset to the company. I can highly recommend this tour.
