Jeff was an amazing tour guide. He was super friendly and knowledgeable and made the trip personalized for what we wanted to do. The ride was beautiful and exciting. I loved being able to see things way off the beaten path. And the highlight was seeing a longhorn ram so close!!

Ben was our tour guide/driver today. He was very knowledgeable and made our trip a lot of fun! We had our two children with us ages 20 and 14. I was worried they would be bored however the off road gave them enough excitement then just a leisure drive through the park. We were also able to get out and do a little climbing on some of the rock formations. We will definitely recommend Ben to our friends and family who plan on visiting Joshua Tree National Park.
