Fantastic experience - Really enjoyed the trip; if you love exploring this one is for you, communication was clear from the start, and Matthew our guide was fantastic. It was a really hot day, and he ensured we all had enough water, and the AC temp was good. He helped take pictures of us as a family, and was really informative about all the locations we visited

Sorry for the late review... - Sorry for the late review - Matt was an excellent guid, full of knowledge and information on our trip in February. He drove by Laughlin and was able to give me history on the town after telling him I share my name with it. Highly recommended

A great trip away from the bright lights - I used to work for a charity that worked with donkeys so this trip was right up my street. Unfortunately my first trip was cancelled due to insufficient numbers, but Matt and the organisers really helped and they managed to work around my schedule to find an alternative date. Oatman was the highlight for me, but I really enjoyed the ghost town - it is a brilliant place to get great photos. Matt, our guide was excellent. Not only did I enjoy his commentary, which was really informative but I also enjoyed talking to him about life in the USA. I would highly recommend this trip, it is fun, very interesting and Matt is a fantastic guide who went out of his way to ensure we had a great trip. Obrigado Matt

Great route 66 tour but very disapointed with Viator - Great Tour. Great tour Guide. This tour was very good but because of what happend with our tour to area 51, I would not want to book a tour again through Viator. Disappointed with Viator, if you have a problem you can not talk to them. Very bad business

Excellent tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and driver. - We had a wonderful time on this tour with Matthew as our tour guide and driver. The places we visited were all wonderful and we loved having free time in Oatman to wander. The icing on the cake for us though was driving on the historic route 66, and Matthew was awesome at taking pictures for our group. He also played great music to go with the nature of the tour.

Route 66!! - We did a road trip from Vegas with 3 of my friends last summer and made sure to drive along Route 66. Honestly, pictures don't do justice to how cute and nostalgic the whole vibe is! Seeing all the vintage neon signs, retro diners, and classic cars in person was so much better than just looking at photos online.

Horrible Did NOT get to go because the company cancelled - The company that host the Route 66, Oatman, Nelson Ghost Town SmalGroup Tour from Las Vegas cancelled both of my tours saying they did not have enough people to the tours on the days I had scheduled and paid for. They have refunded one of my tours but have NOT REFUNDED THE SECOND ONE. I will be trying to book these tours at a later day hopefully with a different company.

I would strongly advise others not to book this tour. - I would strongly advise others not to book this tour. I was given a pickup time, but no one ever came to pick me up, and an entire day of my time was wasted. Two days before the tour, I received a message saying that the trip might be canceled because there were not enough participants. I told them that I completely understood. They then reassured me not to worry and said they would try to find more people so the tour could still go ahead. On the morning of the tour, I received another message confirming that the trip was proceeding as scheduled and reminding me to be ready on time. I trusted that information, canceled a very busy workday with many patients, and waited outside my house for pickup. After the scheduled pickup time had already passed, I called to ask what was happening. Only then was I informed that the tour had been canceled. This is absolutely not a communication issue. I have clear proof that I repeatedly contacted them, yet no one responded. This is completely unacceptable. I have suffered significant losses because of this situation,
