    Indian Canyons was a super excursion. The oasis in the desert needs to be seen if you are in the Palm Springs area. Jim was super knowledgable and solicitous. I would recommend to anyone but especially older folks with more limited mobility.

    We had a great trip. Although there was a snag. Our trip with the red Jeep was scheduled for 1pm. They received reservation at 8am. When they called because we late. I told them we had confirmation at 1pm. They scrambled and took good care of us. We had a great trip

    In Palm Springs for a sister birthday weekend, wanted to do a Joshua tree tour and accidentally booked this one. We had such a great time! Michael L. Was our tour guide and was so personable and knowledgeable about the canyons and flora and fauna. We had a wonderful time, would highly recommend.

    A fun trip with an amazing guide. Travis gave us great information during the Jeep tour and the hike. My teen children were fascinated and said “it was not boring at all!” (If you have teens, you KNOW THIS IS A GREAT COMPLIMENT). Travis gave us good restaurant recommendations. I have no hesitation in recommending them!!

    We had a great time. Learned lots about Palm Springs history, native Indians, geography and flora and fauna. It was a ton of fun and very interesting.

    My wife set up our trip to the red Jeep tours so I didn’t really know what to expect. One thing is for sure, I didn’t expect that our guide and driver, Rick, would be teaching me so much about the area and its people in just a three hour time frame. I felt like I learned more during this trip than some of my college classes. We saw canyons that are truly fitting of Hollywood movies, it was impressive. I even have to admit my back wasn’t feeling great from the shenanigans the day before, but I made it through just fine, our driver knew what he was doing. I love to learn and have a little adventure, and this definitely checked both boxes. Thank you again Rick!!

    Morgan was our guide and she was SO FANTASTIC. She was knowledgeable in local history, plants and geology. She made the experience so much fun. We plan to return to do the other excursions with her.
