Ron was our guide for our tour. He was kind and knowledgeable about the entire region and took us to see some amazing things during our tour. While I was initially skeptical due to the price of the tour it was totally worth it and a great value for the quality of the experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
A memorable afternoon

Such an interesting and fun way to spend the afternoon. Our guide, Isabel, was so knowledgeable. We enjoyed everything from climbing around in the faults to the yummy date shake at the end of our journey. Highly recommend this.
Isabella was fantastic! New geological and historical history . Excellent guide!

We took the tour on 12/21/21. We had a great time! Joe was very nice and taught us a lot during the tour. We wished we had more time to explore but it gets dark early this time of the year. Still worth it!
Excellent!

Isabel and Jeff were very accommodating and great in knowing us in such a short time. The tour met way above our expectations. Isabel”s knowledge of the terrain and the history of the places we went to was awesome. She was our driver in our group and she is just overflowing with stories that makes the tour so enriching. I highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Palm Springs. It was worth every penny we spent and the experience is priceless. I will actually want to do this again with family.!
See the San Andreas Fault and let them do the driving!

The short hike up the side canyon - unique scenery and geology. Knowledgeable guide / excellent off-road driving. Sorry we couldn't stop at the date grove.
Would have been 5 stars except my reservation was messed up.

Fantastic Driver and narrator. Communicated a lot of in depth knowledge of the Fault line etc. Wife said one of the best tours we have ever had and I agree. Can’t wait to do it again with friends next visit. Thanks again Peggy and Neal Dossett.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
