Death Valley Tour - The Death Valley Tour was truly an incredible experience that you won’t forget anytime soon. Bin, our driver was extremely friendly and helpful. ES had unlimited water (chilled) and also chips, mandarins and sunscreen (but especially sunscreen you should take with you). The minibus had sockets (USB) and climate. Before we went to Death Valley, we stopped at a Walmart that also has a subway so everyone could buy something to eat. I recommend everyone to take a tour with smaller number of passengers, because then you can also drive on observation platforms where you can not get there with a coach.

Inspiring tour - It was a great experience that took us to explore different places of the valley, each with their unique features. Bin is such a good guide and a funny guy and he improved even more the experience.

Absolutely Breathtaking!! - First off, I want to give a shout out to Bin, our tour guide. He was absolutely phenomenal! He texted me the day before the tour, confirming our pickup location and our agenda for that morning. He is very knowledgeable about the area, and he knew all of the secret spots to take in all of the stunning views for pictures. He made sure we were comfortable and prioritized our safety in the hot desert heat by supplying with snacks and water. I would %1000 go on a tour with him again! The tour itself was really fun and Death Valley itself is breathtaking. Our group was very small with only my girlfriend and I and another couple, which made it easier to not rush from location to location and really enjoy the experience. The Rhyolite Ghost town was eerily beautiful as well as the nearby Goldwell Open Museum. We also had the opportunity to feed donkeys in the nearby town of Beatty. The whole tour was absolutely amazing and if you're able to withstand the 120⁰ heat, I highly recommend this tour and Bin as a guide.

A grand day out at Death Valley - Mark was a warm and gracious host/driver on our small group tour to Death Valley. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, communication with Mark was very easy and he provided clear instructions on the tour logistics. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and provided lots of interesting information about the sights along the way. If you are interested in seeing Death Valley in a low-key, but fun way without the crowds, I can highly recommend this tour.

This is a long day trip... - This is a long day trip of about 10 hours which started early in the morning, but it is quite relaxed with a small group only. Able to go to various viewpoints and stop to take pictures. The tour guide/driver Bin is very knowledgeable and friendly. He provided us cold water and snacks (chips, bananas and apples). Strongly recommended.

Excellent! Fun and informative. Spectacular views. - Wow! What a fun day. Bin was an excellent driver. He kept us entertained with conversation and the tour-guide explanations of the sites along the way and at our stops. Bin was especially careful with information on the extreme heat of the area. Plenty of water was made available and encouraged. He made our safety and comfort a priority. We were joined by another couple from London so our group was small. We enjoyed getting to know and having great conversation with the couple and Bin. Getting a very early start was imperative to seeing and doing all that this tour has to offer. One critique of the tour company: We were under the impression that a sack-lunch would be supplied as described in the itinerary, which was a little confusing because it also listed food not included. The expectation of a lunch should be corrected and made more clear in narrative. However, we made a stop to grab and buy our food to eat on the go or at one of our stops. We actually appreciated the opportunity to pick up our food, but would have been nice to know in advance. Things to know: Restrooms are limited most of the ones available are very primitive, with only a couple full facilities. Hats, sunglasses, cool clothing, hand sanitizer or baby wipes and shoes are recommended. As an avid flip flop wearer, I’m glad I wore real shoes. Suggestion for our tour guide: Ice for the small cooler or just cooler water in general would have been appreciated, but space was limited so may not have been an option. Overall, it was an excellent day with a great drive, spectacular views, interesting information, fantastic conversation, and a lot of laughter. The day will be what you make it.

Just forget it. - The excursion was also to be in Italian, instead only English. The time available to visit the parks too restricted. Stops for snacks in gogo.
