Tour guide was one of the best we’ve had. He was extremely knowledgeable about the Palm Springs homes and even had a book with additional photos of the insides so you didn’t come away feeling like you had a tour of property walls. Would definitely do it again.

On Top of the World

The ride up was terrifying, but not unexpected for me. The bumps over. The towers took my breath away. As did the views of the valley below. Wow! Ralph, our operator was very good about giving us a heads up where we would feel a lurch. At the top, it took about 5 mins for my heart rate to return to normal. But the views were worth it! We planned our trip so it was still light out but we would also see the valley lit up at dark. A great move. We had an adult beverage to give me some liquid courage for the ride down. I wasn't necessary. Gil kept us entertained on the ride down with sing along music and disco lights. I have been to PS many times but this was my first trip on the tram. Because of my dislike of heights, I am not likely to return, but I will recommend it to everyone who visits.

Tremendous day-not to be missed!

Austin did a great job of providing us with information about the area including a lot of fun side stories. The park is amazing and the scenery is spectacular. We seemed to hit the ‘hot spots’ in the park very efficiently. We went mid-October and there were no crowds which made the day perfect!

Incredible Experience for All Ages

I cannot recommend this experience enough. We had a group of 9 total with 4 adults and 5 kids ages 8-12. We all absolutely loved it. We had fun and we learned a lot. They pointed out many constellations, showed us several amazing sights through telescopes, including Saturn, the moon, and galaxies. They answered all of our questions, and the kids also had a great time and learned a lot. Cannot recommend enough!

Joshua Tree National Park Private Sightseeing Adventure Tour

The BEST way to see Joshua Tree

I highly recommend the private Joshua Tree tour. I had the pleasure of enjoying my day with Spencer. Although the tour was supposed to begin at 9:00 AM, I asked if we could start earlier as I was attending a conference. He was happy to accommodate my request. We had a pleasant drive from Palm Springs to Joshua Tree in a very clean van equipped with water and granola bars. During the safe drive, Spencer discussed the history, terrain and plants along the way. He is extremely knowledgeable and open to all of my of my questions. I can tell that he reads a lot and finds interest in many things, which makes for an EXCELLENT guide. Upon arrival at the park, I paid my national park entrance fee and off we went. Our first stop allowed for some rock scrambling, which I really enjoyed. I am an avid hiker, but had never done this before, so I truly appreciated his patience and the chance to try something new. Throughout the day, we made several stops at interesting vantage points and completed some small loop hikes of about 1 mile. This was my first time in a US desert, and Spencer made it a memorable experience. This tour company can customize the experience for your specific group needs and abilities. This is the BEST way to see the park, as you have someone else doing all the driving while you look around and enjoy this unique scenery.

Gorgeous landscapes & Informative guide.

RON, our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the Palm Springs area, the valley, geology and fauna. The drive to Joshua Tree was engaging conversation and informative. Inside the park, Ron took us to areas we would not have known to go if we visited on our own. He explained the medicinal value of plants that grow in the. We heard 'folklore' and the history of Jushua Tree. Highly recommend for a first visit.

A Great Experience!

We have been to Palm Desert many times, but never tried this tour before. Since we had friends visiting we signed up & I’m so glad we did. It was fantastic. Marv is an amazing guide- very knowledgeable and so good about taking photos for us & answering questions. We were really fortunate to have spent the morning with him! I would highly recommend this experience.
