Our tour guy was Jeff, and he arrived promptly to the pick up point for our tour. It was a nice surprise that we were the only people on the tour that day as Jeff mentioned that it is their slow season right now, so it ended up being a private tour for us, which made our stops and experience very flexible, and Jeff catered to exactly what we wanted to do. It was very educational. We learned a lot about the park and it's geology, along with information on Joshua Trees, cacti, rocks, inselbergs and many more tidbits that were very interesting. It was evident that the tour guide Jeff loves his job, and he was very informative. He was also very helpful with trying to get just that perfect picture of us throughout the day. It was also a nice perk to have water and snacks supplied during the day. And great to have a climate controlled vehicle to come back to when we ventured out in the heat to see formations and scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed our day out on this tour. Thanks Jeff!
