Austin was well informed and made the trip special. We went on this trip with my sister in law and her husband. It was an absolute treat.

This was an amazing experience! The trip was made all the more special because our guide and driver was the best ! Bob’s knowledge of the area was impressive. He made the trip both interesting and fun. Props to his perfectly curated music selection on our trip back home.

Bob was an excellent tour guide. Knowledgeable and with a sense of humor. He took good care of his clients ensuring that he offered blankets, water and granola bars on a regular basis. Well done, and highly recommended

This was an absolutely wonderful tour! I have done many tours and I have to say Austin was incredible! 100% would recommend! The open air hummer was the icing on the cake.

Adventure Hummer Tours were amazing! The guide was super knowledgeable and had impeccable taste in music. He drove us through most of the top spots and we parked and got out a few times where the guide brought us through small hikes or walks (beginner friendly). Our guide was also more than happy to take pictures for everyone in the group. He would stop and go back to help those on the tour that needed extra time hiking or climbing to make sure everyone was okay. The hummer was stocked with water, granola bars, extra blankets, and extra coats for everyone as well which was a great touch and super appreciated. Would most definitely go on this tour again and definitely recommended if you’re visiting Joshua Tree.

It was probably the best way to see the sites in the Joshua Tree National Park. We had Tom as our tour guide and he was very upbeat and personable. He was extremely knowledgeable and took us to off path areas that were something one wouldn’t see without a guide. The vehicle was very comfortable as well.
