Bad, waste of time and money. Hire an actual tour guide with knowledge. NOT just a 'driver'

Horrible experience, not worth a single penny would not recommend to anyone. Guide was not knowledgeable, didn't provide a tour of the single most important place we visited. Stayed in the car. It was not clear that you really only pay for the ride, and no actual tour or insight into what you're looking at. MAJOR regret and waste of time. Can't say to stay away from this company enough. 0/10.

Operator response

We sincerely apologize for your bad experience. We'll surely take this as feedback and inform our higher authority and take the necessary actions. Investigation will be done and sort this issue out. We never want our guests to be disappointed. Hope to serve you better soon again next time.

Awesome desert ride

Brandon and Ben was not only helpful and kind, they have provided us the best tour ride. They showed us that they are so committed in their work and ensuring all of us are in good hands. I dont think we are able to find such loyalty staff, probably a few but these two guys are simply awesome.
