This is the great way to see the city and get some history. You ride a trolley car, and it is the Best $10 .00 I have spent.

Would have liked to have made stops in Carson City. Wasn't enough time spent in Virginia City to go thru all the shops but all in all it was the best of all the excursions I went on during this trip.

All of the land marks he stopped to point out if he had a chance to pull off the road, remembering where we were from very accommodating.
