Very well put together tour. Both Ben and Steve were fantastic! We learned so much and saw so much. My grandson actually got his nose out of his phone and had fun.

Talk about an experience of a lifetime. My wife, our two friends, and I visited the Grand Canyon (South Rim) with Elite Custom Adventures, and we’re so glad that we did. While it’s a premium product, they really go above and beyond to deliver. Prior to the trip, we made a custom itinerary and did a pre-trip preparation session with Ryan over Zoom that left us feeling fully prepared for the adventure. When the day came, all we needed were the proper clothes and shoes, and Elite Custom Adventures took care of the rest. Ryan took us to an unmarked overlook for sunrise and we had the entire place to ourselves. Next we hiked into the canyon to the famous “Ooh Ahh Point”, then explored the South Rim overlooks for most of the afternoon. We finally explored the western portion of the South Rim all the way to Hermit’s Rest, until we circled back to Hopi Point for sunset. Meals, snacks, and beverages were provided throughout, and we were able to see SO MUCH in such a short period of time. While the day itself was amazing, what really sets Elite Custom Adventures apart is the photography. In less than a week we received over 50 digital photos from our experience, many using unique photography techniques, and these simply couldn’t be duplicated on an iPhone. We are so happy that we’ll have these memories forever, not just in our mind, but on our computer backgrounds and hanging on the wall.

This audio tour was surprisingly really good and well worth it. This was my first time trying an audio tour and I was extremely skeptical buying it, thinking we wouldn't actually use it. However, I love knowing history of places I visit and thought I would enjoy it just for myself. After a day of buzzing around Cannery Row, I offered up to my partner trying the tour. I was surprised of the accuracy of the tour guide who was very informative. Once paying and entering the official 17-mile drive the stops were gorgeous. I liken this to a much more enjoyable CA version o f the road to Hana, in Maui. The beaches were gorgeous undisturbed and in pristine condition. I could have stayed for hours at some of these locations. If I ever did this again I would treat these beaches as my destination vs. just passing by. You can easily make a day out of this by packing a light lunch. I would definitely recommend.

We had a great guide who was very informative and friendly. Our outdoor, open roof Hummer tour changed to an enclosed H2 Hummer because of the cold temps and SNOW. My wife was happy about that. Our route apparently changed because of the weather, so we really did not go where most people could not go and the Tour stuck to the main roads of the Park. We did get out and explore a few times. It is a good way to see the Park.
5. Private Tour of Joshua Tree National Park from Palm Springs
In the southern part of California, there are two places that attract travelers from all over the world: the desert oasis of Joshua Tree and the vibrant town of Palm Springs. Joshua Tree and Palm Springs instantly bring warm feels to my heart. While these two locations are far from being similar to one another; experiencing them together is the perfect blend of tranquillity and lively spirit. Joshua Tree is like no other place I have ever visited. From the awestruck sunsets to the calming presence of the Joshua Trees, themselves. Joshua Tree is a place where your soul and nature become one. This place allows your dreams to come alive and lets all your passions come forth from your heart.
Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle

My family and I were in Palm Springs for the week, so we decided to take Jack's tour on one of our days and it was the best choice of my trip! From the start, he was very accommodating and answered any questions my family had. He's a great storyteller and this made our trip so enjoyable. There was no limit to his knowledge of Palm Springs, he rattled off facts from even the most specific of questions. Also, he weaved in dates, home prices, and names effortlessly. You could tell he loves Palm Springs, he was prideful of everything he described. We got to see a lot of cool mid-century modern buildings, homes of the rich and famous, and historical landmarks. He was friendly and you can tell he loved his job! I highly recommend Jack and his tour if you're ever in the area! Thanks for an amazing day!
