Our Guide, Steve, was... - Our Guide, Steve, was very knowledgeable and helpful. My husband suddenly developed some balance problems and Steve was able to assist him in deciding what parts of the tour may be a little difficult for him. He was able to explain everything we saw in an entertaining way.

Highly recommend this tour to see more than just Vegas! - Great, informative, relaxing tour with a short hike. Friendly, knowledgeable, local guide. The red rock canyon area is very beautiful. Lots of photo ops. Was a nice respite from the crowds and excess of the strip and downtown Vegas……and there was ice cream!

Great morning half day excursion away from the strip! - This tour was exactly as described and matched the positive reviews which is what led me to book this tour in the first place. My sister and I were looking for a half day morning tour before going to a show in the evening and this was perfect. The scenes are amazing and it was our first time out of the city/strip. Our tour guide Steve was a five star guide as well keeping us informed and entertained with his knowledge, fun facts and trivia. I would highly recommend to friends and family.

Enjoyed Red Rock Canyon Park Tour - Steve (our guide) was punctual, courteous, engaging, and fun to hang out with for the day. He shared a lot of info about Vegas during the travel time to and from Red Rock Canyon Park. He was an excellent guide for our excursion, and I would highly recommend him and the tour operator if you're considering visiting Red Rock Canyon Park, you won't be disappointed.
