Our driver was friendly and an excellent driver. Our disappointment is with the management of our request. We specifically requested a knowledgeable guide about the geology of the area, someone who could answer more in-depth questions. We even said we were looking to learn, not be entertained. The company ignored this input and matched us with a driver who had only superficial knowledge of the geology, and had some difficulty answering questions succinctly. We appreciated the off-road work that took us to places we could not have reached on our own, but we learned very little. In addition, we had requested a Jeep and were met by an SUV. That ended up being the best option, but then why offer the Jeep option? It only raised expectations and confused us at first. If you book with Big Wheels do not assume that your preferences will be honored, even though they ask for them.
