A must-do! Joshua Tree has been on my husband’s and my list for a long time, and Jeff at Big Wheel Tours made our visit truly spectacular. Friendly and clear communications ahead of time. Once on board, Jeff made sure to give us a comprehensive overview of options so we could customize our tour, and then we acted as a team to make excellent adjustments along the way. The park is really big, and Jeff got us to so many drop-dead gorgeous highlights (pun intended, it was approaching 110 that day!!) He gave us wonderful history, geology, botany, biology nuggets to sate our curiosity and encouraged us to stop wherever we wanted to experience this treasure. Water and snacks were plentiful. Great sense of humor and impressive movie line knowledge too! :) Truly amazing experience… my husband and I will remember this day forever. Thank you Big Wheel Tours!!!

We loved it, our guide was knowledgeable of the area and had great time. Now as a national park lover and have the pass to experience many, I would just purchase a audio guide for the area and drive it yourself. For the price that I have paid lil over $1100 for the party of 5, I don't think it is a worth a money. BUT, for the foreigners, it maybe worth it, just cause you don't know the area.

Will was a great guide. He gave us a lot of great information and took us on a nice little hike. I really enjoyed all of it.

We can't say enough about the park, it was other worldly! Our guide, Captain Ron, was so knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to a variety of interesting places within the park, and even an extra stop or two since we weren't in a rush to get back for dinner. We did a couple of walking loops, as well as climbed up a big rock off the trail for some amazing views. We also went down to see the Cholla cactus garden. He educated us on the geology and history of the area from the minute we got in for the ride from Palm Desert, until the minute we arrived back. There were plenty of snacks and water available, as well as restroom stops. We all 3 agreed that the experience FAR exceeded our expectations.

Our guide Isabel was excellent. She knew everything about everything and was happy to share her knowledge of Joshua Tree NP. It gave us a much better appreciation of what we were seeing in the park. Highly recommend using a tour guide for this - she knew just where to take us.

This was an amazing tour of some of the most beautiful and amazing scenery in the country. What made this tour one of the best that I have ever taken was Captain Ron. He is a fountain of knowledge and is one of the nicest people that I have ever met. He has the ability to make you feel like the tour was customized just for you. If you want to tour Joshua Tree National Park, Ron is the best guide you could possibly hope for. Thank you for such a great day in the Park!

Our guide, Will, gave a wonderful intro to Joshua Tree. This is a great tour if you just have a day, or like us, want an overview so we could go back and take a deeper dive. Very comfortable and entertaining.
