Although we had to start later than scheduled because of a sick employees, it was worth the wait. Out guide was amazing and the trip was great.

We got an upgrade so they sent us to the Joshua's Tree Tour. It was all very nice. The guide was fun and gave us a lot of interesting information. The only thing I did not like is that is all seem to be in a hurry..... Jump in and out of the car a few times but had no time to enjoy the view and take pictures. We were able to talk only a few pictures and they had to be exactly in the place the guide chose. Would love to have a little time to contemplate the wonderful views!!

Not as advertised! Worse tour ever went on, total rip off!

We appreciated how informed our guide, Don, was on the plantings and the history of the desert mountains and the Fault. Our grandchildren loved the tour and thought the off-road bounces were great! They were a bit tough on us since we were all sitting in the back seat of the Hummer and worrisome with one of our seat belts was not working. I would do it again - my husband would not!
