Great audio tour of Joshua Tree! - Liked how it gives you a tour for the three entrances but it’s the same exhibits for all. I was short on time before a flight home and the audio tour was perfect to see highlights with good info. Preview option handy to map out what you want to see and you can fast forward or rewind as needed during actual tour. Chose the visitor entrance and glad I did I was able to stop beforehand and pick up a map just in case, but at no time did I need it, tour map worked great. If visiting during the government shutdown there is no entry fee so if you want to support the park, buy something in the store and/or go online to donate!

Great storytelling! - Exactly what we didn’t know we wanted! We planned to go through JT on our own when I came across this tour. We learned so much and really enjoyed the stories as we drove through. This tour is a must!

Fun and educational! - Worth every penny! So fun to drive through the park hearing about the history, geology, flora and fauna, and even some old west stories throughout. The narrator gives plenty of heads for stopping points and lets you know how long certain hikes will take.

Joshua Tree - The audio your worked great! Lots of information and it was easy to hear. I would recommend this audio tour if you want to do your own thing. It kept us moving along, but we could stop if we wanted to get out and walk around.

Verify the authenticity of this website or link. - The reason why I rated it very low was due to the fact that we kept getting an error message after we tried to book a time and date. Therefore, we decided to go to the visitor center and pay there. However, after arriving at the visitor center, we were informed that the self guided tour was free and all you have to do is download the app and they give you a map. Therefore, I’m not sure why this site would charge you for something that is free. In addition, one of the employees stated, that there are bogus website charging people? I would think that TripAdvisor would know if this is a scam and take the website down.
