This is a 20 mile cycle trip down Box Canyon Road towards Mecca. Don't get me wrong, it is a grand ride. Except for the bit which is flat, it is all downhill. You get to some some interesting geology and the views over the Salton Sea are grand. The bikes were decent and the reps amenable. The bike ride... More

Four of us just returned from Palm Desert and along with the Joshua Tree National Park Jeep tour, this downhill bike tour was the highlight of our trip. Our guide was Jane and she was so wonderful. Her expertise is plants and she even knows the latin names!!! The van picks you up at your condo/hotel and they drive you... More

All started great as I have a 20 month old baby and two other small children and requested a bike with caddy. The guy from BWBT was great and said... More

We had a great tour of the Joshua Tree national park in an SUV with Capt Gary. Got to go off roading on dirt trails thru the park. He is so knowledgeable about the area. Had a great time. Thanks Gary! We highly recommed this company, also rented mountain bikes from them! More

Rented bikes for a day to tour the Palm Springs area (not a guided tour). "Big Wheel" tours doesn't have a shop; they deliver the bikes right to your door. Prompt courteous service; decent bikes, helmuts, maps and advice. The real surprise was the numerous good bike paths throughout Palm Springs - wide, well-marked and generally quiet. And the area...

We just recently returned from Palm Springs, our first trip there and the highlight of our trip was the Big Wheel Bike Tour. It provides a good way to get some exercise and see the country as well as hear about the history of palm springs, from our bike guide, Bill. The tour is at a slight decent so you... More
