Captain Ron took my wife and I along with two young ladies from London on the afternoon tour of Joshua Tree National Park. Ron was very knowledgeable and provided many times more tidbits of information than we could have ever picked up on our own. We had several opportunities to get out of the van to explore and take photos. The colorful blooming flowers were spectacular. We also stopped at the east entrance visitor's center in Twentynine Palms before returning to Palm Springs.

Our Guide Ron made this trip the highlight of our week in Palm Springs. He knows the Park and it’s hidden treasures. Ron is the spirit of the Sky & Desert. The Tour Company Big Wheel is buttoned up, professional and accommodating. Many thanks to Evan & Ally, too, for helping us book this tour with Big Wheel. Highly recommend! Hail to Captain Ron!

Ed was a very interesting and enthusiastic tour guide. He was able to show us many different views of the Park while answering all of our questions. He is knowledgeable about Joshua Tree Park and was accommodating through out our tour. He would stop so we could take pictures and shared many interesting facts about the area. Thank you Ed for a wonderful morning.
