5.00Our private tour of Joshua Tree National Park was a fun and memorable experience for our family group of five adults ranging in age from 31 to 79—myself, my spouse, our son and daughter-in-law, and my sister. Our guide, Jim, was outstanding: friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable about the park and the Palm Springs area. Jim tailored the tour to our interests, set a comfortable pace, and suggested the best spots for photos—many of which he took for us. We had a bit of an auspicious start to the tour: upon arriving at the Visitor’s Center, our phones alerted us to an earthquake detected in the area. We weren’t sure how the day—or the tour—was going to unfold, but fortunately, it was smooth sailing after that. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Joshua Tree with a knowledgeable and personable guide. It's an excellent way to experience the park’s unique flora and rock formations. One note: the pre-tour guidance suggested dressing warmly, but in late April, we found the temperatures comparable to those in Palm Desert.
