JT was a great guide. Easy pick up and drop off. The Red Rock area was beautiful. You don’t hike a lot but you do get to see a lot. The lunch at Blue Diamond Cottonwood was superb. Beer and a sandwich with a fantastic view.

What a fabulous 4 hour tour! I’m the meeting planner for a national association. Chose this tour as an add-on to our conference. JT was a wonderful guide who was funny, entertaining and knowledgeable, and was able to connect with all your attendees from 12 to 70+. He has an obvious passion for the natural beauty of the greater Las Vegas area. We learned so much about the Native American and frontier history, as well as the geologic development of the area. Highly recommend!

My wife and I highly recommend this tour. Everything was outstanding. JT the bus driver/ tour guide was not only incredibly professional and knowledgeable about the history, agriculture and people culture of Las Vegas and Nevada, he was also incredibly caring and thoughtful. My wife suddenly took ill half way through our canyon tour and we had to leave the tour and go back to the bus. JT offered the keys to us and checked in immediately with us when the group returned. He drove super slow to the next tour stops and had my wife sit beside the door and told us to tap him and he would immediately pull over, he checked it with my wife at each stop to see how she was doing. He also recommended that we get some extra plastic bags at one of our stops to be on the safe side. Our drop off was the Treasure Island Hotel which was a 25 min walk from our hotel, but JT drove us right to our hotel. Again the tour was amazing, everything was top notch. It's unfortunate that my wife took ill and she felt very awkward and embarrassed but JT made her feel comfortable. Thankyou JT for being so caring and thoughtful and providing a wonderful tour. I hope your daughter and son do well with their flight schools and be out flying the big jets soon! Karen and Rob
