Learned a lot and had fun
Robert_D, Nov 2024
Kelly the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history and significance of downtown Las Vegas and he packaged it all together in a super efficient and entertaining walking tour of Freemont Street. I walked away from it knowing some cool secrets about the past and some not so well known spots to explore coming from a local's perspective. Walking around the canopy covered Freemont Street to inside some casinos, and finally ending at the container park near the praying mantis... It was all a blast.
Must do!

Downtown Las Vegas is a hidden treasure!
Sharon_M, Nov 2024
Loved all of the history of the city, casinos, people. Kelly is a great tour guide. This was the second time I’d been on his tour and I learned more again - he keeps his presentation current.
a great way to spend 2 hours 😊

Didn't really know what to expect but my wife and I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was excellent and always aware of the heat so tried to get everyone in the shade. He knew a lot of fun facts about Downtown

Excellent Walking Tour!
David_K, Aug 2024
This event was informative and interesting. Our guide Kelly did a great job presenting many historical facts about the early years of Las Vegas and its growth throughout the decades. This was an excellent event and well worth the cost and time.
If you haven't toured Downtown Las Vegas, you haven't visited Las Vegas
David_H, Jul 2024
Great tour guide, fascinating history and I had no idea how vibrant (and safe) downtown Las Vegas is now. Based on what I learned from our tour guide, I would stay downtown next time - cheaper and very cool (and better odds).
Totally worth the time!

This tour was brilliant. Having tried downtown before I was nervous and left so booked this trip. Wow learnt so much about the area that wouldn’t have known from walking my self. Also went outside of the canaopy and had some great food at the container park. One of the best things we did
