This was the most incredible tour! Our guide Kelly was so very knowledgeable, and gave us so many details of history that were amazing. He knew everything about the origins of Las Vegas, and also had great historical photographs to show. There was no question that he couldn't answer. We even met other people in Vegas after the tour who were familiar with his impressive knowledge of Vegas history. I love taking historical tours, and this was one of the best I've had anywhere. It was so great to hear the stories about how the town got started and its history as it has evolved. The tour was also a great chance to see areas of Vegas that I have never seen, even when I lived there. You won't be disappointed...take the time and go!

Kelly our guide was awesome. Very knowledgeable and also very passionate about the revitalization of downtown Vegas. You can tell he loves what he does! The headsets are a great idea, you can hear clearly in spite of all the “ buzz”. We saw some of the typical stuff on Fremont but also learned about interesting historical sites and saw some more out- of - the - way areas off of Freemont. He told us a bit about Circa as well. We were so blown away by Circa after the tour that we decided to book our next trip and are staying there in May! The strip is good for shows..but downtown , everything within walking distance, is where it’s at!!
