I did not like getting up... - I did not like getting up so early, but it allowed us to see the run rise and to avoid the heat :) Dead valley salt covered lake was the highlight for me. Yes I would recommend!

Fabulous Day Trip - Brian kept us informed of what to expect before the tour began. He was punctual with pick up and drop off. He was a wealth of knowledge about every aspect of our tour. The places we visited were each unique and places I most likely would not have driven to on my own. I would gladly choose another tour with this company in the future!

Just perfect Death Valley trip - This trip with Jason was almost like a private tour of DV. It was me and another person. We got to converse a lot. Jason had a lot to share, we had a lot of questions. Everywhere we went we were the only people. It was nice, informative and very professionally conducted. Would recommend to anyone who wants to do the best of Death Valley. The breakfast at Furnace Creek was the highlight.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Death Valley Experience with an Exceptional Guide - This is a wonderful experience for anyone who wants to see Death Valley, especially for those traveling solo. Although it requires an early wake-up call, being able to witness the sunrise over the mountaintops at Dante’s View and explore the park with little to no tourists around is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We visited all the best spots in the national park, and I never once felt rushed or limited on time at any location. Jason, our guide, gave us plenty of time to fully take in the sights and scenery. Not to mention, he was a remarkable guide—informative, patient, conversational, and kind throughout the entire trip. Again, I felt like this tour was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will remember forever. It’s especially special for solo travelers, as you get the chance to meet others from different countries along the way. Thanks again to Jason for his professionalism and expertise in the national park! You’ll be lucky to have him as your guide.

Great trip--custom experience - Excellent trip. We got picked up at 5ish AM at our hotel in downtown. We then stopped at a coffee shop during our two our drive, stopping at some interesting sites on the way to Death Valley. We had a fantastic breakfast at about 9:30 and then spent the next several hours in Death Valley. The host is extremely knowledgeable and will hit you with facts all day and also allow you to have a say in what you do during the day. We had five folks on our tour, which indeed, allowed us all to discuss what we wanted out of our day. We saw a lot, drove a lot, and hiked some. Overall, this is the without a doubt the easiest way to see Death Valley and requires far fewer logistics than renting a car.

10/10 experience! - 10/10! Before this trip, I deliberately avoided doing any research about Death Valley np because I wanted to be surprised, and wow, it exceeded my expectations in every way. First of all, our guide Brian was amazing — funny, knowledgeable, and super reliable. He made the whole journey smooth and engaging, and you can really tell he knows the place inside out. Secondly, the itinerary was perfect. We got to visit all the iconic and breathtaking spots across Death Valley . It truly felt like we didn’t miss a thing. The landscapes are absolutely unreal. Finally, shoutout to the great group I traveled with such a fun and positive vibe throughout the day, which made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting from Las Vegas!

Outstanding Death Valley Tour - Brian was our excellent driver and guide to the fascinating landscapes and history of Death Valley National Park. From hotel pick up to drop off, the tour is well paced with plenty time to see all the highlights. Next time I am in Las Vegas, I'm booking another tour with Mohave Wave!
