Must do in Vegas - Lankun was a fabulous tour guide. The best we've had. She was so fun, took care of us and was a fantastic photographer! It was our favourite day in Vegas.
Plus the stops were amazing, from the mine to red rock.

A Trip Not to miss - We really enjoyed this trip and Lankun was a first class guide who made sure you got the most from your one day trip. We loved the Ghost Town and Gold Mine so unique and a blast from the past. Hoover Dam was a good stop and we really enjoyed the Red Canyon for sunset. Lankun took lots of photographs so we would remember this day. Thank you for the memories.

Amazing!!! - My husband planned a Birthday getaway for us to Vegas. He knew I loved gold mining and found a day trip to several locations that went to Hoover Dam, Elderado Gold Mine and Red Rocks Park. We were promptly picked up by Lankun Weidner AKA “Momma”
She made us feel so comfortable in her vehicle and provided us with waters and tons of Information about the history of Vegas as we drove to our first destination. When we got there she filled us with knowledge and laughter. She even loved taking our pictures. Which she informed us that she is a photographer and loves taking pictures and if we would like that. And of course we said yes. Second stop was gold mine tour and along the way to gold mine tour she filled us with much more information and facts about certain cities and about the roads and wild life. She even knew the family that runs Elderado. By the way great tour. Next we went to lunch and we took her advice to eat BBQ in Boulder City. Absolutely delicious. Take advice from her she knows her stuff. Next we went to Red Rock and hiked back into the the rocks and took more pictures and of course more information about the rocks and the park. Momma made sure we were safe at all times and that we could do the hike. She even provided us with more water. We the. Went down around the park some more and hiked back on to a large rock formation and watched the sunset. She knew all the great spots to go. Our tour was approximately 10 hours long and a lot of fun. The van was comfy and we had controls for our own air conditioning roll down windows and plenty of leg room. She made this trip feel like she was part of our family. We can’t wait to come back and book another trip with her. I highly recommend you choose her. Thanks Momma you made this trip awesome.

Great Time - Lankun did a great job of explaining everything we saw. She went the extra mail by helping us through the rocky ground and positioned us for the best pictures.

Tour/photo shoot/ awesome - The good mine was our favorite part but we really enjoyed it all. Having the family member Shauna as the tour guide just added incredible depth to the tour. The goats in Boulder City should be added to the tour as the park we stopped in to see them was awesome. Our tour guide Mama was fantastic. She really took good care of us and could have a second career as a photographer. Incredible pictures all day long. We saw lots of great things and will have photographs forever to remind us. Highly recommend.

close and personable - We had a great time. Our driver Jay was very informative and took his time to show us everyone on the tour and explain it to us. There were only 4 of us and it was very nice to have a one and one. The ghost town had a lot of old things Cars Buses planes and old signs and just a lot of old things. The mine was very interesting and the guide was also very informative. It was very interesting to see how they actually mine gold back then. I can't believe how they made these mines it had to be very hard work. Don't know if that would happen today. If you want to learn things and enjoy a day out without the hassle of big crowds this tour is the one.
