Our trip to Death Valley with Max Tours was absolutely incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Corey. From start to finish, Corey was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She made the entire experience feel seamless and fun, sharing fascinating insights about the landscape, history, and hidden gems along the way.

Death Valley itself is stunning, but having a guide like Corey truly elevated the experience. SHe made sure everyone was comfortable, kept the energy up, and went above and beyond to make the day memorable. You can tell she really cares about her guests having a great time.

If you’re considering a tour, I can’t recommend Max Tours enough—especially if you get Corey as your guide. It was an unforgettable experience!

Fantastic day beautiful scenery and great guide with Luis!! Let's start with the fact that Luis is the BEST guide ever!!! So kind, funny, informative, and kept us hydrated and full of snacks. The tour itself was great, Valley of Fire is beautiful and Hoover Dam is just iconic. It was a fantastic day in beautiful places, but Luis put it over the top by being so amazing, fun, kind, and accommodating!

Family adventure We had an incredible time on the three-day Max Tour with Momo! As a family of four with two kids (ages 7 & 9), we knew this tour would push our travel boundaries. The days were long, but the sights made it worthwhile. The Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce were as awe-inspiring as we had hoped. Antelope Canyon was a surprise favorite! What really made the tour stand apart, though, was the amount of care and thoughtfulness involved. The van was stocked and cleaned every day. The provided foods and meal recommendations were spot-on. One of our kids is prone to motion sickness, and Momo was very proactive in advising us about when we should take extra care. Five stars!
