Great getaway! - It was a ggreat quick getaway. Our tour guide Daniel was really nice and accomodating. We thought it was a private tour but we went with 2 other Familes but it was fine. Everyone was friendly. Reason I am taking off one star is because we weren’t dropped off at our original point (which was advertised) which was Treasure Island- they said because of the F1 closure but it would have been nice instead of us taking a Lyft and paying additional $20 for a 3min ride to Treasure Island.

A Welcome Break from the Vegas Strip! - Mount Charleston is absolutely beautiful and a relaxing time for anyone looking to commune with nature and get away from the fast pace of the strip. Our tour guide Robert, was knowledgeable and extremely personable and made the trip that much better. We enjoyed a delightful breakfast at The Retreat for a perfect ending! However, I don’t know if I would recommend this tour if there was no snow on the mountain …

Bad experience - For us it was the most unfortunate experience we've ever had as a family. We could have had a serious accident. The operator is not prepared to drive in winter weather conditions. We couldn't reach Mount Charleston.

Deceiving advertising. - The worst experience ever, I hate Robert, is a deceiving advertising, and is a waste of time. You can do a better tour in Lee canyon if you want a good time.
