What To Expect

Seven Magic Mountains

At Seven Magic Mountains, you can enjoy one of the greatest work of contemporary art in Las Vegas and be sure to bring your camera for some awesome selfies!

Nelson Ghost Town

Nelson, back in 1775, wasn't Nelson but was called Eldorado by the Spaniards who made the original discoveries of gold in this area that is now Eldorado Canyon. A hundred years later the prospectors and miners of the day took over and established the notorious Techatticup Mine. Disagreements over ownership, management, and labor disputes resulted in wanton killings so frequent as to be routine and ordinary. Despite the sinister reputation of the mine, it along with others in the town produced several million dollars in gold, silver, copper, and lead. But because of its location in the El Dorado Canyon, it was susceptible to flash flooding making it uninhabitable. The remaining weathered buildings, machinery, and Texaco station are what’s left of the boomtown.

Lake Mead National Recreational Area

We went on this tour today, January 4th and had the luck and good fortune of having Roberto as our guide. Roberto was extremely knowledgeable and patient as he escorted our family of 4 through the various hiking trails in Red Rock Canyon, 7 Magic Mountains and Hoover Dam. We never felt rushed and enjoyed the conversation on the drive between tour stops as much as the tour attractions. Roberto also took us to see the famous Welcome to Las Vegas” sign on our way back to the hotel and we even got a picture as well! Thank you for such a great day. We would 100% recommend this tour company!

From the moment Vitorino picked my adult daughters and I up at our hotel, our experience was 100% positive. We were fortunate enough to have a private tour as some other tourists had cancelled. Vitorino and his associate Roberto were very friendly and informative and thought of everything, including a cooler full of water and snacks for the day ahead. Our first stop was Red Rock Canyon, which is a beautiful national conservation area. It was snowing when we arrived (and a bit cold) which didn't hinder our experience at all. Vitorino knew exaclty where to take us for the most beautiful views and photo opps. He and Roberto were very attentive and helpful, so that no one got hurt as some of the rocks and walking trail were a little slippery. We spent a good amount of time at Red Rock, stopping at various vistas, etc. When we left, Vitorino found a Starbucks and treated us to a hot coffee / tea-which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. From there we went to the Seven Magic Mountains-we had no idea what to expect and were thoroughly pleased by the massive stacked and painted boulders in the middle of nowhere-It is totally worth the drive! After that we went to Boulder City for lunch and Museum Tour with a stop at a "special" shop with local souvenirs (pertaining to folklore, etc.) before heading to Hoover Dam. We first walked across the Memorial Bridge which is a beautiful structure towering over the dam-then we went down to the dam level and again walked across the walkway. Roberto (who is an engineer) was excellent in describing the mechanics behind the building of the dam and the actual functioning of the dam. It was all very interesting. The overall tour was suppossed to be about 7 hours, but we went a little over- Including a stop at the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign. Overall, Vitorino and Roberto did a wonderful job and were excellent at communicating all the highlights of the various stops. You cannot go wrong with Marvitt Tours!

My husband and I went on the Red Rock Canyon and Hoover Dam Small Group Tour on Saturday, November 23, 2019. We had the privilege to ride with a very knowledgeable and super nice and friendly guide named Vitorino, who explained everything in a very interesting way. He arrived punctually in a very comfortable and clean car designed for small private tours. We first went to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area where we had numerous opportunities to take beautiful pictures and learned about this wonderful area. The views are just spectacular. We made a few stops to different panoramas. Then we went to the Seven Magic Mountains, which was quite lovely (but windy and cold at the time). After that, we unfortunately had to cut short our tour (I was not feeling well), and returned to the hotel, missing the part about the Boulder City Art Guild and the Hoover Dam. The next day, Vitorino called me to ask if I was feeling better. What a nice gesture on his part, which I really appreciated. I would recommend this guided tour to anyone who wants to have a great ride to lovely places with a wonderful guide! Thank you Marvit Tours.
