Beware when choosing hotel pickup Was a great day out to Death Valley with Carl but be prepared for a 12 hour day. My itinerary said light breakfast and there were plenty of snacks and cold drinks but stopped at a service station for Coffee. Plenty of toilet stops. I'd say the scenery was better than the Grand Canyon.
I've only given 3 points because of the awful pickup and drop off situation. I was staying in the south of the strip and the day before they decided they weren't picking up at my hotel. I had to make my way at 0615 in the dark to the MGM Grand meeting point which was up a back street outside a multi storey car park! They did give me a list of other hotels in the same area and on hindsight I should have chosen one of those so I could wait in the lobby. I was very lucky as there was someone else there who could use their phone as the pickup was 25 mins late. It was very stressful and scary. All the couples seemed to get picked up at their hotels! Not good planning at all. I'd recommend but make sure if you are on your own you choose a lobby pickups.

I had a great time with Jeff on the Death Valley Tour. He was kind, funny, and knowledgeable. The tour was 11hrs long but the day flew by fast!! Highlights of the tour included seeing Dante’s View, Devils Golf Course, and Badwater Basin. Both spots were otherworldly and magnificent!! The pictures I took from Lake Manly are absolutely incredible. Lastly, I enjoyed the star gazing part of the trip but just wish I had a better camera. Overall super happy I was able to see this beautiful national park with Max Tours!! Thank you Jeff for the flashlights, yoga mats and binoculars :)

The best tour ever! Great for all ages! Our trip was amazing and Corey was our guide and did an amazing job!! Our family of 7 ranging from ages of 22 to 72 haven’t stopped talking about it yet. Corey was a great guide and provided a lot of interesting information during the tour. She was flexible on times and showed us some of her favorite things. She was able to squeeze in more sites for us to see. Oh, and her playlist during the quiet times was fantastic! It was in the low 70’s during the day so short sleeves was fine. Temps dropped at night for stargazing so recommend you bring a coat for that! (And it’s windy) Since the day is long and there isn’t a dinner stop make sure you buy extra food at the lunch stop (sandwich, salad, etc). It’s definitely worth every penny!!!

Wonderful Death Valley tour and star gazing experience Wonderful experience. The sceneries at Dante’s view, badwater basin are amazing and otherworldly. The stargazing experience is wonderful too, but make sure you bring enough clothing as it can get quite chilly in December night.
