Hidden Gems, iconic architecture and art in the desert - Best tour of the area, hidden gems on the tour. Would have never known of such amazing structures and art in the desert if not taken this tour. Frank, our guide was outstanding, so thorough explaining the background and creation of the buildings and pieces of art we were able to see, who would have thought these items were in the desert. Hidden gems !!

I don’t don’t usually... - I don’t don’t usually write reviews but, we really had a good time on the tour. Our guy (Frank?) was excellent.

Unique homes and structures in Joshua Tree - Fantastic experience. Frank was a delight. He took us on a great tour of a lot of very interesting homes and structures that we never would have known existed. I highly recommend this tour to everyone

Worth the Try! - We visited homes and art installations that we would never have found on our own. Joshua Tree has some hidden gems…homes that rival the best in the country. But they are out-of-the-way and not easy to find. Very interesting enjoyable day.

Art on the desert - It was interesting but believe the pioneer town should not be included. Be prepared to exit and enter the van several times on the tour.

Lame and unprofessional - We have used Viator/Trip advisor tours for 15 years. I always try to make my reviews positive, but I can't here. While I have empathy for Frank having some personal issues this day and changing times/places to meet twice, he was completely unprepared for leading the tour. Taking the group to visit an attraction that was closed that day is unforgiveable. That's just not professional. Having us meet at a remote cafe that was closed for the day and waiting for him to go home and change clothes/vehicles is also 2nd rate. This was the worst Viator tour we've ever experienced.
