Amazing tour! Highly recommend taking the trip. Don (our tour guide) was extremely knowledgeable about the place and gave us a memorable tour. Also need to highlight how careful the company was to accommodate us from a safety perspective due to Covid-19.

Amazing adventure into Joshua Tree

WOW! What an amazing tour we had with our guide, Ron. His name should actually be "WikiRon". He made what is already an amazing and beautiful place come to life with details and tidbits of information that really made the experience memorable. There are too many places to visit in the park for such a short trip, but Ron was able to eek out the most interesting and beautiful spots, while allowing plenty of time for photos, walks, and views. We focused mainly on the northern part of the Park - which has a pretty lengthy drive just to enter. While on the journey to the park, Ron talked about many interesting aspects of the region, the landscapes, the indigenous peoples and geological formations. Overall, this is a tour that everyone in the region should do at some point, and if you can go with Ron - all the better. Many thanks Ron and Viator
