5.00One of my coworkers recommended I go to Big Bear. So I purchased a guided Jeep tour and it was an excellent choice. Amber made me feel safe and was welcoming. Her choice of a picnic place was right on point. It wasn’t crowded and had lots of shade. Her picnic lunch was accommodating and delicious, just the right amount of food. The tour was perfect for my trip. I am glad I came when it wasn’t as crowded or there was snow. The guided Jeep tour had no excessive walking or hiking and you get to see the area without all the hiking path hazards. She was very knowledgeable of the area. Great service!
Amazing views of Big Bear

5.00One of the best hiking experiences I’ve had with my family. We had a great time, and my teenagers especially loved it. That says it all, 😅. She’s very knowledgeable and has a great energy. Then there was the lake with small picnic on the boat after a great swim. We loved the boat, and my puppies loved it too. Thank you so much! We’re definitely coming back.
Great Tour

5.00My husband and I totally enjoyed our Jeep tour / Lite Linch with Amber today! I highly recommend this tour as we learned a lot about Holcomb Valley and Big Bear that we didn’t know! We had a relaxing lite lunch while enjoying being surrounded by the Forrest. It’s just beautiful out there! Amber is VERY knowledgeable, personable and made us feel totally comfortable. Take the tour!!!

5.00My friends and I all agree. That this was a perfect choice for a Friends Day.Friends day in the mountains. We were all in agreement that we wanted something that would be healthy and energizing but we weren't sure where to go. This experience was perfect bc Amber knew exactly what we needed. She curtailed our while experience by our needs and preferences. The wholesome snacks were over the top delicious and satisfying. She took time to tell us details about our trek along the way and took as many pictures of us as we wanted! She was so patient and awesome! This was A DEFINITE 10 OUT OF 10!!! We'll be back for more soon~ especially this summer when the weather is perfect up there! Thank you🙌
Unforgettable Jeep Tour with Amber!

5.00We had the absolute best experience on the Jeep tour in Big Bear, and that’s entirely thanks to our phenomenal guide, Amber. From the moment we met her, her warm personality, deep local knowledge, and passion for the area made the trip feel like an adventure with an old friend. Amber expertly navigated the rugged trails, ensuring we were safe while still giving us the thrilling off-road experience we were hoping for. Her storytelling brought the history, geology, and Native American significance of the Eye of God to life in a way that was both engaging and meaningful. You can tell she truly loves what she does—and it shows in every detail. The scenic stops were jaw-droppingly beautiful, and lunch was delicious, served with thoughtful touches that made the whole experience feel personal and luxurious. Amber even went out of her way to help us capture stunning photos and made sure everyone in the group felt included and comfortable. If you're visiting Big Bear and want to explore its hidden gems, book this tour with Amber. Her enthusiasm, professionalism, and genuine care turn a fun trip into a lifelong memory. Can't recommend her enough!
