5A Great Way to Explore Joshua Tree and All its Wonders
Fantastic experience with our guide Jeff. He was very knowledgeable, attentive, and outgoing. He stopped everywhere we asked so we could look around and take pictures. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Joshua Tree, especially for the first time.

5This tour should NOT be missed!!
What a fantastic tour we enjoyed yesterday of Joshua Tree National Park with Jeff as our guide! He was amazingly well-informed and entertaining. The tour was all we had hoped it would be and more! My husband and I are in our mid-80's and I would highly recommend this tour for Seniors! All in all what a wonderful day learning about this beautiful place!
5Most Excellent Tour With Jeff!
Our tour guide Jeff is excellent because he has an in depth knowledge of the desert, geology, history, vegetation as well as the Joshua Tree National Park. The adventure sparks dialogue with all in attendance. Jeff makes the experience unique to the participants. The Big Wheel vehicle is comfortable, clean and safe. There is ample opportunity for photographs and exploring. The scenery is breathtaking. Well worth it!

Palm Springs lies in the Colorado Desert of southern California, at the foot of the steep San Jacinto Mountains, a resort that drew film stars and golfers from the 1930s. Mid-century modern houses and motels by architects such as Richard Neutra and Albert Frey give the town its look, and Palm Canyon Drive is lined with shops, galleries and cafés. The Palm Springs Art Museum shows modern and Western art.
