My wife and I were the only two for this activity that day - that made it quite special. Ron was our guide and gave us so much insight into Palm Springs, the desert, and surrounding areas. He was also very accommodating when my wife ran out of steam and needed to ride in the car. The views and scenery are very worthwhile. A great experience - nothing like going through the desert on an earthquake fault-line on two wheels. Thank you Ron!
Thank you so much Vlad. Ron is a real gem and that scenery is second to none. We hope to see you again!
Ben really knew the history of the valley and the landscape. He made sure the bikes were ready and working. Awesome ride but be prepared to pedal.
Thank you so much Tyler! Yes, that is a gentle downhill ride so sometimes, if the wind isn't cooperating just ride, our guests will have to do some work. And, Ben is terrific! We agree.
A fun afternoon in the desert! We all learned a lot about the terrain, the environment, and the history of earthquakes and the fault lines. The scenery started out just okay, but as we moved along it became more interesting, and then into earthquake canyon it was truly fascinating. The ride is quite easy and enjoyable, as it is nearly all downhill. Bring plenty of sunscreen!
We're so glad you enjoyed your bike tour with us!
We really enjoyed our morning tour with Ben. The bikes were in fine condition, and Ben was an excellent, knowledgeable and engaging guide.
Thank you for the kind review, Mary!

Thank you for the kind review!
Lovely way to spend a morning. Very interesting and informative. Ben was a great tour guide. The scenery was very pretty.
Thank you for the 5 star review, Krista!
We had a great time on our bicycle tour! Ron was incredible! He shared tons of history & interesting stories! The bike itself was very doable for all ages. The last 2-3 miles require the most effort, but just bicycling on flat ground. Much of the ride you could coast if you wanted to. So glad we did this!
Thank you so much for the kind review! We're proud to have Ron on our team!
We had a fabulous experience biking through box canyon. It was wonderful to have a guide that directed us to notice aspects of the ride we might have otherwise overlooked, and he was so knowledgeable! 5+ stars! Will absolutely use this tour group again! First rate!!
Thank you so much for the kind review!
