My son and I really enjoyed our trip. Our tour guide Sherman was knowledgeable and very funny. All around great guy!!! The temperature in July was about 110 degrees but really it was not unbearable by any means when you are on the ATVs. Just make sure to have some sun screen. We saw quite a bit of wildlife, with very beautiful views. In between, we were given a sub sandwich with chips, and water. It hit the spot. Then off to the Gold mine. The Gold mine is a very easy walk ( I had double knee replacement 16 months prior). It was about 60 degrees with a nice breeze. Very refreshing. This trip was defiantly one of the best things we did while we were here in Las Vegas. Well worth the money!!!! Make sure to tip your guides. Thank you for the good time, Marty from Milwaukee
Everything was great from the pick up to the end! Our guides were laid back and fun. The ride was so much fun. The little town is an antique lovers dream and the gold mine tour is the best I have ever been on.
Great adventure, the guide, Sherman was fantastic, definitely a highlight of our Vegas trip. The sights were great and the mines history was terrfic
Fun and informative time on the atv's and walking thru the mines. Total enjoyment of time from pick-up to drop off ! Sherman was awesome in his knowledge of everything .. Hope to see ya on the next visit soon . David and Miss. Mona
Great guide - made the day fun. Would do it again.
Tour was awesome! Enjoyed every moment. Ed, my tour guide, was very kind as I am not the most skilled ATV rider. He was also quite knowledgeable about the area and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Having had a long flight the day before, I appreciated that it was only a short ride from the Strip. Morning pick up was quite punctual. Worth the money.
