We took the Death Valley Experience tour, Hal was our guide, cost was $265. each (there are discounts for children or additional adults ). We reserved about a week in advance. The tour is a little pricey, but worth every bit. We had limited time in the park and Hal was able to get us to many places that our sedan could not have driven safely. We saw Badwater Basin, Artist Canyon, Devils Golf Course, Echo Canyon and abandoned miners area that we were able to explore. Hal had great stories about the area, it was nice to sit back and enjoy the scenery.

Lunch is included in the tour, at the general store pick out what you want and they take care of it. The tour was six hours long and we had plenty of time at each site to get out and explore on our own. The best part was it was just us, so the timeline was ours giving us the choice of how much time we wanted to spend.

This is a great way to see Death Valley if you only have limited time, and you know your safe being with a guide who is so familiar with the area! I would definitely do this tour again!
