We had a great time! I grew up spending summer vacations in Big Bear but she showed us an area of Big Bear I didn’t even know about! It was fun and relaxing.
Amber was just terrific on so many levels—the clear communication, the quality of the homemade food she prepared that was tailored to our needs/wants, her extensive knowledge of the area’s prolific plants, anthropological history, and community events, etc. In short, she took me, my wife, 9-year old, & dog all along dirt road trails that offered scintillating views of the lake, trees, plants, etc. Then, having arranged a tasty charcuterie platter for us, she led us to a perfect, quiet spot with a splendid view, where we just chilled out and took in the lovely scenery. I would have no hesitation in giving her my highest recommendation as a knowledgeable and professional tour guide whether you are an avid trekker or group that seeks a local, savvy guide for a rigorous, multi-mile hike or simply want to get a visually pleasing perspective of Big Bear Lake on a brief off-roding trip for a couple of hours. Thanks, Amber!
Amber was a knowlegeable guide who knows the local area well. Pointed out details of tree's and blooming flowers on the drive and selected a fine vantage point for the light lunch. I would book again with her on further trips
She was well knowledgeable packed a great lunch for us made it romantic made sure we were comfortable near the area and had as much funas possible and had some great pics out of it
This was a very pleasant, informative trip through the woods of Big Bear. I would definitely recommend it to people who want to see the area without having to do a lot of walking. Our guide, Amber, was very knowledgeable and pleasant and she prepared a lovely charcuterie lunch for us to enjoy in the woods.
Highly recommend! The hike was perfect speed for our group. The lunch was AMAZING. Fresh, delicious, healthy.
Great communication. Saw historic and beautiful sites. Food delicious. Learned history of Big Bear
The jeep tour was worth the bumpy trip. This is definitely the back roads experience you want to take with an experienced guide. Amber was engaging and answered all our questions. I am a native Californian and never knew about the gold rush in Holcomb valley. Take a journey back in time and enjoy a fresh lunch in a beautiful wilderness.
Everyone should be a tourist once, even close to home. I would never have gone off road on my own. This is a great way to really learn about the area and it's history.
Our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable of the big bear area. The ride was fun and we got to see the beautiful forest and learn something about the trails n towns. Thank you for the experience!!
