Amazing tour. Highly recommended. Had two boys (12 and 15) that loved it. Good mix of things to see and the time flew by.

What a great tour with Landy! He provided so much information on the area. From the tectonic plates, shifting, the local Indian tribe, botantics & wildlife, growing up in Palms Springs. The views were spectacular. He was born to be a guide. I highly recommend this tour.

Such a great day with Timo! Learned so much about the California Fan Palms, Indians and fault. The drive into the faults were amazing! Views were breathtaking! Highly recommend

Landry was a wonderful guide. He knew the perfect picture spots and his knowledge of the wildflowers, geology and history of the San Andrea’s Fault was impeccable. Amble water was provided to keep everyone hydrated too! Thanks for a great experience.

This trip was extremely disappointing. Our guide (Jim) was not very knowledgeable and made a series of embarrassing and inappropriate comments about use if drugs and alcohol (especially since we were there with our nine year old. The trip is far too long —everything after the first hour was a waste of time and the trip ought to be shortened to one hour, not three.

It looked like something different to do, however we had a very hot day for a canyon tour. The jeeps seat 7 people and are covered. The canopy can come off but it would not be a good hair day. We took a bumpy ride into the mountains. We stopped to learn about the fauna. The information we got was good information. We got out of the jeep and walked on loose gravel to see, touch and taste, yes taste some of the shrubs, the walk was a bit too much with the loose gravel. We were climbing over stones and rocks. It was very very hot, we stopped along the way to climb areas for better views. However the climbs were very narrow, slippery and not a straight line up. It was a bit difficult for an older personal. Of course we could have stayed back but we thought we could do the climbs. Some we took a pass. We stopped at an Indian a village which was the most interesting part of the trip. The tour offered plenty of cold water and granola bars. The trip was expensive and we personally just didn’t feel it was worth the money.m

This has all the potential to be an amazing tour of the desert and rock formations in an open air jeep. However instead we got to see a Disney type Indian( native American) village that took up about 1/3 of the tour. If isn't even an authentic village . It is constructed by the tour company. It is like any other model village I've ever been to. We stopped to see a non existent pig and rescue horses that were sleeping in stables that we didn't visit. We stopped to see holes in rocks and different floral varieties along the way. We stopped more than a local train in New Jersey and got in and out of the jeep so much my knees started to kill me. We never got above 10mph. The speedometer said the jeep could go 85mph. This is not a high speed desert tour. This is more like a stop and start tour of mostly man made objects in the desert. The tour guide clearly loved his job and was very knowledgeable about the terrain and the history of the earth and the local civilizations that have lived here. The tour lacked oomph and obviously speed. It isn't an all thrills ride at all. I think I could have walked it quicker.

A great way to experience the desert up close and personal. Our driver/ guide Cal was personable and competent in every way.

We loved everything about this ½ day trip with Red Jeep Tours. Charles, our guide, was so knowledgeable about the plant life, the geology and the local history. He told stories throughout the entire trip! The short hike to the desert oasis was so pretty, with all the palms and, eventually, the running water. The stories in the Native American village were fascinating. My favorite part of the day was the hike through the slot canyon—so awesome and definitely not something we’d have attempted on our own. We enjoyed all three parts to the trip! We appreciated the bottled water he provided, as it did get hot towards the end of our morning. And we loved the photos he took for us. We also took him up on some of his Palm Springs recommendations for lunch spots and other places to hike—which turned out to be some of the highlights of our trip! Definitely an A+ experience!

The oasis and the slot canyons. Jim was a great guide giving us all sorts of information. Go in the cooler months. It was perfect in March.

Our guide Ray was an excellent source of knowledge and humor. He took his time allowing us to take everything in and hike at our somewhat slower pace at times. The scenery was amazing and the short hikes were worth the effort. It was a perfect tour and we got much more than we expected out of it.

A Fabulous day with Travis! This tour was great but made even better by our tour guide Travis! He is local to the area and boy did he know his stuff. The tour was amazing. Incredible views, fun hiking, and a smooth ride in the Jeep. Definitely worth the money for this trip.

A friend booked a private tour for four of us - at first I wasn’t sure I was too excited - rocks, driving around in the desert, discussing fault lines….but we got lucky with our guide Michael, a former high school teacher and it showed. He has both a passion and a gift for explaining LOTS of the geology, geography and natural elements. He showed us all around this hidden, interesting and significant area. We all learned lots, which we really enjoyed, and we felt like his energy and engagement with us made it all fun!

Super fun and worth the experience. We had Travis as a guide, he was awesome - it was cool to learn about the area and I didn’t think it crossed into too educational. He took us to the Oasis and the two canyons - the view from the second canyon blew me away! The area is gorgeous. But it was also cool to hear about the oasis and the indigenous people who inhabited it. A great way to spend 3 hours.

This is a nice tour but people should be aware this is NOT a 3-hour Jeeping adventure through the desert. Drive time is limited--maybe 45 total minutes broken up within the 3 hours. The rest is a thorough education on the history of the desert. It's all great info and the driver is very knowledgeable (and after reading their website again, they never said they'd be driving the whole time), it just wasn't what I was expecting and by the end, I had information overload.

Our guide Ron was very personable and shared his vast knowledge of the areas we visited. We took the afternoon tour in late February it was warm, 82, but not uncomfortable . I’d suggest any later in the year go for the morning tour.
