My family of four went on the covered wagon experience April 1st and thoroughly enjoyed our time. My adult children said this was the "highlight of their trip". None of us knew exactly what to expect going in, but were amazed by how organized everything was and how fun it was every step of the way. The musicians were entertaining and engaging. The barbecue and desert were delicious! I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking for an unique experience.

Kathrine World Class Evening Tour Program

Covered Wagon Adventure & BBQ
This venue is of an international quality in a tour program. The entire evening of the wagon tour and commentary by George, the walk into the oasis, the return and evening of music, most gorgeous sunset in the desert, the attention from the staff, the food, but most of all the entire ambience of the evening was TOP CLASS!

We recently visited Palm Springs for a work retreat and chose the Covered Wagon Tour and dinner for our final night. It was phenomenal! When our team reflected on the retreat, this experience was ranked as the highlight by nearly every employee. The wagon tour staff were incredibly knowledgeable, the scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the entertainment was top tier. And the food...beyond amazing. I’m still thinking about how good the chicken was. If you’re in the area, I 100% recommend this experience.

What a fantastic tour! George, our guide, knew so much about the San Andreas Fault, the Hidden Oasis, and the myriad of geology, flora and fauna on the Coachella Valley Preserve. I knocked off an item on my bucket list at the fault line and saw my first true oasis. The covered wagon tour was so much fun! The bbq dinner was delicious, and the country music throughout the evening was some of the best I've ever heard. The whole experience was worth every penny and more! Thanks for a stellar evening of memories, y'all! Yeehaw!! We cannot wait to come back for another wonderful experience!

What a wonderful experience. It exceeded our expectations. The fun facts and the experience of the tour guides about the Coachella Valley was very interesting and well presented. The meal was delicious and the entertainment was outstanding. So glad we participated and would highly recommend this tour.
