Amazing tour - This tour was brilliant. Having tried downtown before I was nervous and left so booked this trip. Wow learnt so much about the area that wouldn’t have known from walking my self. Also went outside of the canaopy and had some great food at the container park. One of the best things we did

Best part of any Vegas trip! - My favorite part of Vegas was this tour! Love the history of this crazy town and the old photos Kelly showed us. Clearly he knows the town story and did a great job making sure we all followed and heard him. Would recommend EVERYONE takes this tour upon arrival to Vegas.

Interesting and informative tour - This was an incredibly interesting and informative tour, and our guide Kelly was deeply knowledgeable about the history of the city. He was not at all dry or dull about it either; perfect balance of facts and humor, and he shared many great stories. I would highly recommend this tour.

Visit to Vegas - Back to where it Began - Wonderful tour!! When we visit a new city we love to take a tour with a local guide. So much insight and knowledge of the history and stories you'd miss as a visitor. Highly recommend this tour, it did not disappoint.

Las Vegas Downtown is a must see! - This was such an interesting tour….Kelly, our tour guide, was fantastic! Well worth taking the trip downtown to learn about and see the history of the ‘original’ Las Vegas. Kelly brings the revitalization to light and to life. We ate at the famous Pizza Rock by chef Tony Gemignani who wrote The Pizza Bible.
