    Highly recommend you get Jon as your tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and is very well prepared with snacks and essentials. Absolutely recommend this tour with him. He didn’t rush anyone and let us get the best photos while also getting the best pictures of everyone in the group! He is really a phenomenal person and very accommodating.

    What a great experience; Ed was awesome, his knowledge about the desert and the products it produced were wonderful to hear. His wit and sense of humour were great and the ride into the desert was bumpy and exciting. The company thought of everything including blankets and the ability to close up the jeep as the cold air was tough at some points. Wonderful trip highly recommend.
