Listen and make the Park come alive!

The cactus “teddy bears” were a wonderful surprise. We enjoyed the narration at the various rock formations. Also, the stories of the Mcaughney gang made the park really come to life!
Response from Host , May 2022
Thanks so much Bruce! Those horse-smuggling stories are some of my favorites too. I'm so glad my tour added so much fun to your Joshua Tree experience! I hope you have the chance to try some of my other tours as well during your future travels — I’ve covered a lot of national parks and historical sites.
Fun and informative

The history and stories that went along with the drive were interesting. We were not prepared to hike so weren’t able to capitalize on the trails but overall it was a nice adventure.
Great Addition to our trip!

The narration provided the details needed to truly appreciate Joshua Tree. It was great to be able to self-pace and hit the spots we were most interested in.

It was a very hot day and the tour provided info while stayed in the car. Very convenient and well done.

Hike at Hidden Valley was wonderful. The audio guide made it easy to get there without a lot of maps. The narrative added to the experience so that we could enjoy the scenery as we learned about the area.

Thanks Viator!
The audio tour is our personal tour guide and without it we wouldn’t know where the highlights were.
We stopped and took as many pictures n when u get back on the road , the tour resumes.
We enjoyed and we learned a lot about the histoy of JT.
Very affordable and it’s worth it.

I loved being able to have the audio guide navigate and tell me stories about each exhibit along the way. This would be perfect for anybody that is driving into the park solo to a group of multigenerational families.
