Do Not Miss This! - This tour was amazing! Our guide really knew his stuff and you could tell he was super passionate about the history and the land. He timed everything perfectly so we avoided the crowds and heat, and he took us to some awesome hidden spots that were just as beautiful as the big-name places. Yeah, leaving at 3 a.m. was early but totally worth it. His van is super cool too as he remodeled it so it has great AC, runs smooth even off-road, and was super comfortable. He even added a few bonus stops, but only if everyone was down for it, which was really thoughtful. Highly recommend if you want a chill, well-planned, and memorable experience!

Fantastic experience,highly recommend - This was a fantastic tour from start to finish. We had a very early pick up at 2.45am but Jason was so fill of life and friendly we soon woke up lol. We put in a lot on this tour with plenty oc sights to see. The sunrise at Dante’s Point was absolutely stunning! Jason’s knowledge along the tour was great,his wit and humour made him a fantastic guide,always willing to take a photo for us at the stops. Our lunch was lovely and ample of it and there was always cold water available. I highly recommend this tour,give it a go,Worth the early start,Jason is the best guide ever too.

Awesome tour of Death Valley with an excellent guide. - This long tour (2.30am pickup) allowed us to see and learn a huge amount about Death Valley. Dawn at Dante’s Peak and then again at Zabriskie Point was a highlight. Jason is a joy - knowledgeable, funny, great communicator, and always keen to make sure we were having a great time. The small group meant we had plenty of time at each stop. Minibus was very comfortable, breakfast was included (big variety of home cooked foods) and water available when needed. Brilliant experience

One of my best trips! - Our host Brian was amazing. He was promptly on time at pick up. Very courteous offering water often and grabbing a step stool to get down from high van. He was very knowledgeable and the way he told the history kept us captivated throughout the drive. We saw all the major points to see at Death Valley. Had enough time to takeamy photos and explore at each location. Death Valley itself has so many beautiful natural landscapes. Absolutely breathtaking. The entire trip was about 10-11 hours and I felt incredibly satisfied. Also the place we went to get breakfast had delicious options and a very friendly hostess. I 100% recommend this trip. Brian does a lot of hiking and knows a lot of information. He truly made the trip even more epic. Thank you again Brian!

one of the best tours i’ve ever been on!!! great day off the strip!!! - this tour was absolutely incredible in every way!! it started w stargazing & ended at an area 52 alien shop! very diverse immersive tour!! jason was our guide so it was practically an all day comedy show!! he’s awesome, truly. very nice & funny! my mom & i had two other guys on this tour & they were also hilarious: one from austria & one from london! we all had a lot of fun. we stopped for lunch at a local buffet which was fantastic since i refuse to eat at chains (aside from sheetz & in n out)! the views of death valley were ridiculous, it seemed like another planet! jason pointed out some starwars film spots too!! got to watch the sunset 2x😂😂 also, the tour pickup was at 245am which is very intimidating i get it but seriously it was absolutely necessary for optimal sightings! we got back to our hotels around 3 so you can absolutely sleep after then grab dinner on the strip! overall best tour i have probably ever been on & i’ve traveled the world!

Awesome Death Valley Tour!!! - Had an awesome trip out to Death Valley National Park. Our tour guide Jason was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience fun. He did a great job accommodating special requests and taking photos for us. We got to stop at and explore many different places inside the park and along the way back. We never felt rushed and really got to soak up the views and explore each stop. Getting to see the sun rise twice in the same day at Dante’s Peak and again at Zabriskie Point was amazing. Would highly recommend this tour.

Aliens and Sun Burn - We had a fantastic time on this tour, Jason was a great guide. This was one of our favourite things that we did on our holiday. It was a long day but we had plenty of stops and were frequently offered water. I have mobility issues and was using a walking stick at the time we took the tour, Jason was very helpful and there was no part of the tour that I was unable to take part in.

We had a great time at... - We had a great time at Death Valley, with Jason as the tour guide. He is very funny and helpful. Good that the tour started at 3am and ended at around 2pm. This had avoided the heat and the heavy traffic at a later time of the day. Many thanks to Jason for giving us a wonderful time!
