Don, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and happy to share. My husband and I enjoyed everything from the Oasis to the hummer ride down the heights of Joshua Tree, great fun.
Our driver was great and extremely knowledgeable. He is very passionate about the region and it shows. I was under the impression though that we would be doing some more off-roading or going to places the public doesn't normally go. The whole trip was on highways and a very well maintained dirt road. I easily would have driven this trip myself, even our driver acknowledged that you can easily drive a rental car on this trip, but I would really miss the geology lesson! The desert vista and the solitude was great once we got to our destination.
Great tour! Went to parts of Joshua Tree National Park where the general public seldom go. Tour took about 5 hours door to door. Went to the highest part of the park and had some fantastic views. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his job. Would highly recommend.
