I have been overall impressed by the quality of Ryan and his team. Throughout the journey Ryan was always quick to respond and provided well thought out answers to all my questions. I am quite the stickler for details and found that each concern I raised was promptly resolved. Whenever there was a hiccup in the programming Ryan and his team accepted my feedback gracefully and immediately implemented it where feasible. From a personality perspective, I found Ryan good natured and attentive. I would highly recommend his services to others.

The name of the company says it all:
Elite. Custom. Adventure.
I rarely write reviews. I am taking the time to do this because Ryan and Elite Custom Adventures deserve to be recognized for going so far above and beyond expectations. The most striking aspect was Ryan’s excitement and passion for what he does.
Ryan’s expertise/knowledge with regards to photography and Death Valley National Park as well as his comprehensive, meticulous attention to detail. He came prepared with snacks and a gourmet meal as well as products for anything and everything that could possibly come up (extra face coverings, a brush to clean our lenses, chapstick, aspirin) and no telling what else he was prepared for. This allowed us to relax and enjoy our time knowing that we were covered no matter what.
We really enjoyed the scientific and historical education on Death Valley. Additionally, Ryan taught us how to maximize all of the functions on our photography equipment to capture some great shots on our own, while using his own equipment to document our entire experience.
We will be booking a similar adventure at a different national park.

I had an amazing time with Elite Custom Adventures because Ryan goes above and beyond. He made it clear that the trip was fully customizable and he planned a great itinerary that reflected my interests - going on some stunning hikes, taking some of the best photos I have of myself, and even teaching me how to use the camera myself. Ryan’s dedication was further demonstrated by the time he put in both before and after the trip, with a Zoom call to prepare and plan, and him editing the photos we each took after we returned. Ryan’s passion for adventure and photography was undeniable and he was clearly committed to ensuring I had the best experience. He is truly professional and I recommend taking a trip with him.

A visit to Death Valley National park is a must if you are in this part of the country. The landscape is breathtaking despite it being barren and seemingly lifeless. I drove thru west to east and was amazed by the overall beauty of the park. I do not recommend the summer as May was 108 at the visitor center.

I can't say enough positive things about our Grand Canyon and Zion National Park Trips with Ryan and Jess from Elite Custom Adventures. Between the pre-trip planning, attention to detail and their extensive knowledge, my wife and I could just focus on the beauty that surrounded us without a worry in the world. Traveling in this way gave us the confidence to take on hikes and adventures that we wouldn't have done on our own.
Every detail was taken care of so we never felt rushed or part of the crowd. We were guided to some of the most beautiful places where often we could enjoy the views without anyone else in sight.
I don't think we could have asked for or arranged a better trip than Elite Custom Adventures provided. It felt like we were all old friends setting off on an adventure together rather than a tour group you would rather forget. And the photography skill of Ryan and Jess provided memories that we can share and cherish for a lifetime.

Death Valley NP is a must-see if you are in the area and apprciate national parks. It's barren and stark, yet has a variety of landscapes. It's the largest national park south of Alaska. Must - see list: Dante's Peak, Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes, Devil's Golf Course, Zabriske Point, Artiste's Palette. If it's hot, go to the higher elevation at Dante's Peak where it's cooler. You drive up and hike a short moderate hike to get the best views. We stayed overnight at Beatty, NV. A two-day visit will cover the highlights. Highly recommended. Come early in the day to avoid heat.

Visited in mid-January of ‘23 so it wasn’t hot; max temps were in the low 70’s and a great time to see the sights. DV is apparently very windy most of the time, so be prepared. Highlights include Badwater and Devil’s Golf Course, and the Borax 20 mile team processing and shipment site. Unfortunately, erosion induced from flash floods have closed the northern half of the park for an indefinite period, so only a limited portion is open to the public. I would not recommend hiking significant distances here unless in the winter, and with a fairly calm day. Photo is of the Devil’s GC

Ryan put together a fantastic 2 week trip for my husband and I to visit multiple National Parks in California. We started in Death Valley, then went to Joshua Tree NP via the Mojave National Preserve. After that, it was on to Sequoia NP, Kings Canyon NP, Yosemite NP, and finally Lake Tahoe. He listened to all our requests and came up with a trip that allowed us to see and do everything we had envisioned. On top of that, he accompanied us to Death Valley and arranged for other guides to go with us to the other parks. This made our trip so easy! We didn’t have to worry about figuring out directions or even where we might want to go - it was all done for us. Also, in addition to helping us with our photography, the guides took great photos of us together (which we don’t usually get since one of us is always on the other side of the camera)! Pretrip communication was thorough. We got a full packet of information about locations, directions, maps, weather, and suggested gear. I can highly recommend Ryan and his company and can’t wait to take another adventure with his company soon!

Thank you Ryan for 4 amazing days, including Death Valley, Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon and Mojave Desert. Ryan spoke with us a couple of times before our trip to make sure everything was to our liking including snacks😊 He did not disappoint.
Ryan was full of knowledge about the places we visited and could talk on just about any subject that came up. The vehicle was comfortable and Ryan's driving was exemplary.
We saw some amazing scenery which Ryan only enhanced by his photography skills.
Would highly recommend Elite Custom Adventures.
Once again thank you Ryan, hope to do future tours with you to one of your other fantastic destinations.
