The Death Valley tour was fantastic. February definitely the right time to go to Death Valley, with mild temperature and sunny weather. The guide was fantastic, very informative and explained many things and answered all our questions. He stopped at many marvelous sightseeing points, a lot more than we expected. Our tour guide was Jason and he was incredible and so friendly and made the tour that much more enjoyable. Would highly recommend this tour with mojave wave, the best tour ever I have experienced.

Jason was a great tour guide who knew the ropes inside out! Great history and kept us entertained for the full trip which takes a lot of energy - even went out of his way to show me Star Wars film locations and some rough area of yucca mountain/aliens/suspicious activities to entertain my Sci-fi obsession! What a great trip - Hannah

Brian our guide provided a FULL fun. He was very knowledgeable and taking us to so many areas in Death Valley he really went above and beyond. He provided information at all the stops he made. Great person would definitely recommend and if ever in the area would take a tour with him again. He truly made the day enjoyable

Gage was great. He was considerate of our needs, rest stops, and limitations due to age. We were informed about the areas we visited. Had great conversations about a variety of things, definitely a people person. Felt safe with him and he adapted well to adverse conditions, like snowing.

Jason was great! Exciting Tour! He showed us some special places! Thank you for everything!
