If you've ever wondered "Why is a desert considered worthy of being a national park?" -- this Hummer Tour is for you! Our guide Tom was super friendly and knowledgeable. We went in the middle of July--yes, the middle of July and had the park to ourselves. The weather was exceptional. Yes, it was hot, but we're from Atlanta and Georgia summers are way worse than dry 99 degrees. Tom provided great stories, music, water, and a snack-- the scenery provided the rest. Don't hesitate to go. The money is well worth it.

So much fun and lots of great info! We got a terrific intro to the park and its history. Our guide also gave us some geological and botanical facts which was interesting for us all. We did a couple of short hikes and saw some amazing panoramas/views. Definitely recommend for first timers to the park. Note: you have to get your own entrance into the park which can be done at the visitor center or at the park entrance.

Such a fun and very interesting tour! Colin was wonderful! It was a hot day (110) and he had individual battery operated fans, cold water, spray bottles and hand held fans to help keep us cool. He was very knowledgeable about the homes and area. My husband and I had a great time! Colin also recommended Sherman’s for lunch. What a great spot! Thank you!

Firstly a shout out to Viator for allowing the excursion to go ahead despite the fact that only two of us had booked. Thank you - it felt like a private tour! Austin our tour guide/driver was awesome. He was easy to get on with, and his knowledge was excellent. He was able to share anecdotes, history, geology, and information about the flora and fauna we encountered with ease. Joshua Tree National Park is a ‘must see’! It is a truly spectacular park, and Austin played excerpts from U2’s Joshua Tree album as we arrived in the Park, stirring 40 year old memories for me! We had a number of stops during the tour to stretch our legs and take photographs. The walks are on fairly even ground but you can stay in the minibus if you wish (it was 108 degrees and UV factor 13 when we were there…). Water and granola bars are also freely available on the bus. The tour ended with a spectacular view over Coachella Valley, from the Salish Sea (even Mexico) on the left to Palm Springs laid out below. You could even see evidence of the San Andreas Fault from this high vantage point. I highly recommend this tour - and especially Austin our guide, who was both fun to be with, and kind enough to run the trip with just us two tourists!

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.

Our driver kept in contact with us and arrived on time for our late flight pickup from the airport. He sent a picture of his vehicle so we would know what to look for. Plus if you like a non-conversationalist, Henry is your man. Suited us fine as we were tired!

Spencer did a great job showing us around Joshua Tree. He had good knowledge of the area and gave us just what we needed! He contacted us ahead of time to make sure we knew what to expect and what we needed and was on time to pick us up as well. He was very personable and we had a great time with him

Ron was great…very Knowledgeable. Big Wheels graciously let us use e-bikes instead of the regular bikes. My only complaint is with Viator who did not provide option for requesting ebike. I needed to have that option. I’ll go directly to the provider next time.
