We, honestly, had no idea what to expect from this tour, but what we had the privilege to partake in was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide took us to some of the most beautiful places we've ever seen. Our teen daughter even said it was her favorite of the tours we took while in Vegas (and we took quite a few). She hates hiking, but commented that these were more like short jaunts, so she loved them. Even though we've now seen all there was to see, we'd do it again. That's how amazing it was. The Valley of Fire... There aren't really words to describe the absolute beauty and serenity of that place. You'll have to see and experience it for yourself. We were picked up on time, and the tour company was awesome with their communication. Our guide was knowledgeable, and from what he said, he hikes these areas regularly, so you have someone who's done it and knows what to watch out for. HIGHLY recommended tour.
