We went off Roading with Joe from California Overland Desert Excursions we learned so much history from him and he took extra time on our tour to ensure my husband got the photo opportunities he had hoped for. He went above and beyond and it was the best part of our weekend! We love Borrego Springs, Thanks Joe!!! More

This was one of the best parts of our weekend. Joe is a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. Watching the sunset over the badlands was incredible. This was a much better experience in a military deuce and a half than any I had while in the Army. More

Hi Joe, Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the overnight excursion to CLarks Dry Lake. The dunes and tamarisk trees against the Santa Rosa mountains were awesome.

I have been on 3 or 4 of California Overland Jeep Tours and the experience is always bar none! This month I had the opportunity to go on an overnight camping trip with Joe and his employee, John.

We were a family of 2 mature adults, our daughter, and her two children, ages six and ten. This camping adventure was appreciated by all age levels. The children especially enjoyed seeing the badlands and the scenic wonders from a open-air military transport carrier. It wasn't a "wild" ride, but certainly the off-road bounce was just perfect for them. Joe... More

We had a simply fabulous and incredibly informative jeep trip with guide, Johnny Cruzen. Johnny first asked what we were interested in and then supplied great information on them and added wonderfully colorful stories about what we were seeing. More

We highly recommend this tour company! One of the best excursion experiences we have had. The owner went out of his way to arrange our tour for us, given that we only contacted him 1 day before our arrival into Borrego. Since we were there during the low season, we did a private tour as opposed to the group tours... More
