This review is more of a warning than a fair review of this business.  Had the circumstances been different, I'm sure this would have been a GREAT tour, but it's the way that the company handled the circumstances that created a problem.

Rule #1: IT CAN GET VERY COLD IN THE DESERT!!!!!

It was an unusually cold day for Palm Desert and Joshua Tree.  The Hummers are OPEN-AIR! No doors, no heater.

This was an unusual day, and the tour should have been canceled.  NONE of the 10 passengers were appropriately dressed to be comfortable on a 4-hour tour in 40-degree weather.  This was plainly obvious to the driver, who even mentioned the fact that I was wearing sandals.  NOT ONCE did he mention that perhaps we should consider walking back to our hotel room and getting warmer clothes!!!

Even though the company's website clearly shows Hummers with some soft doors and other types of protection from the wind, these were nowhere in sight.

On the good side, the tour guide did his best, but he seemed to be very unprepared for this situation.  Apparently, it's supposed to warm up significantly as the morning goes on, but this never happened.

Suffice it to say that you don't want to ride in an open-air Hummer at 40 degree temperatures with wind and improper clothing!!!!!

I have been on MANY of these types of tours, and this wasn't a typical situation of bad weather....this could have easily ended up with someone getting hypothermia.
