Fantastic tour of Joshua Tree!!! - Spencer was fantastic! He took us to 6 places throughout the park that I know we wouldn’t have seen if we tried to do self guided tour! He was flexible and let us spend extra time climbing rocks and exploring! He was very knowledgeable about Joshua Tree and shared that info with us.

100% do this tour - Spencer is an amazing guide! I had issues in getting to pur meeting spot on the day and thought i was going to miss it but he came and picked me up, so greatful! He grew up in the area and knows it like the back of his hand, super knowledge.
There was no rush to hurry us around and we got to see parts of the desert less well trodden. April is an excellent time of the year to come visit too. Not too hot and the time the desert comes alive. 100% do this tour

Excellent tour - This trip was perfect for my family! Frank, our your guide, was knowledgable, friendly and easy going. He was always on time/schedule and very patient and helpful. We enjoyed the van ride with AC, cool water and snacks. The tour was about 4 hours and Frank too us to a lot of picturesque and must see places in the park. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this tour!

A great intro to Joshua Tree - We had a great tour of the park with Spencer. He was very knowledgeable about the history, geology and plants/animals in the park. We stopped at a few different locations and did some short, east hikes.

Unforgettable Joshua Tree Adventure! - Our tour of Joshua Tree National Park was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we met our guide Spencer, it was clear we were in for a special experience. Spencer’s deep knowledge of the park’s history, geology, and wildlife made every stop along the way incredibly engaging. Not only was he experienced and passionate, but he also had a great sense of humor and a knack for making our family feel welcome and involved.
We explored breathtaking rock formations, hidden trails, and iconic Joshua trees while learning fascinating facts and stories that brought the landscape to life. Whether it was pointing out unique desert plants, sharing local legends, or ensuring we got the perfect photo op, Spencer truly went above and beyond to make the day unforgettable.
If you’re looking for an adventure that’s both fun and informative, this is the tour to take! Highly recommend for anyone visiting Joshua Tree—whether it’s your first time or your tenth! Make sure to ask for Spencer…he was absolutely the BEST!!
