Great Tour! - This tour is fantastic if you want to get out of the city for half a day. The wildlife was really cool to see. Steve was our guide and I can't recommend him enough. He was so knowledgeable and really I think makes the tour as good as it is. He kept us entertained and we all very much enjoyed him leading us through the desert! 10/10 recommend!

Better than the Grand Canyon - This day trip was even better than our trip to the Grand Canyon.JT was a fountain of knowledge and he took us on a gentle hike while sharing information about the various plants along the way. The mountains are a gorgeous natural work of art with the subtle colors of the stratification created through thousands of years. We walked through Howard Hugh’s ranch and learned about its history. Thank you, JT!!

The beautiful countryside of Las Vegas - The beautiful side of Las Vegas! Wonderful and informative tour guide shared his love of this area. We enjoyed the scenery and even got to see many of the wild burros roaming through the area. The nature trail can be difficult as you climb to the look out area. Just go slow and carefully as they will wait for you. Beautiful view awaits. The farm and little towns were also beautiful. Very nice clean comfortable 12 passenger van used .
