Delightful Downtown Las Vegas Walking Tour - This was a delightful daytime walking tour of downtown Las Vegas due to our exceptional tour guide, Richard Evans. We learned so much about the development of Las Vegas. the history of the casinos and so many fun facts that were all new to us. Richard is former teacher, now an amazing tour guide who excels in sharing his wealth of information in a fun and fascinating way. We loved every minute!

Fantastic insiders tour of Fremont Street - Richard was fantastic! He showed me so many details about the Fremont Street area that I would never have guessed. He was super knowledgeable, friendly and created a fun experience that I will share about with others.

Worth every penny - Being English we knew very little about vegas and it’s history so was very interesting to do learn about it and do something that wasn’t typically touristy Richard knew his stuff in detail He even got down on his hands and knees in the casino to help look for my missing earring which was very much appreciated

Great site to tour, tour guide less than stellar - Old Vegas is somewhere everyone should tour at least once. Although the FACTUAL historic information was great, the random not related commentary from our tour guide, yielded a much longer tour than necessary. We stood outside the El Cortez for at least 20 minutes in the scorching listening to unnecessary ramblings. Additionally, the tour guide was not respectful of personal space. For those reading this review, I will say that the tour guide that received great reviews (Richard) was not the one that provided our tour.
