What exactly is included in the price?

Hotel pickup and drop-off from Las Vegas, air-conditioned transportation, lunch, bottled water, and a professional tour guide leading the entire 9-hour experience. Admission to ghost towns and the cowboy shootout show are included.

Is this truly private, or will I share with other groups?

This is a fully private tour for your group only with a dedicated guide. Private tours require a minimum seat purchase of 5, though the operator will work with smaller groups (1+ guests) if you contact them directly.

How many ghost towns will we visit?

You'll explore three different Arizona ghost towns, each offering unique architecture, saloons, and frontier history. Your guide will provide context on each location's gold-mining or settlement past.

What is the cowboy shootout show like?

It's a live Western performance featuring skilled gunfighters performing choreographed shootouts typical of classic Wild West entertainment. It's family-friendly and included as part of the tour experience.

Do we stop at Hoover Dam, and how long?

Yes, you'll have a photo opportunity at the Hoover Dam along Historic Route 66. This is typically a brief stop rather than an in-depth tour of the dam itself.

What should I wear and bring?

Wear comfortable walking shoes (ghost towns have uneven terrain), a hat, and sunscreen. Bring a camera. The bus is air-conditioned, but desert temperatures can be intense outside. Lunch and water are provided, but you may want snacks or personal medications.

our guide Luca sorted everything for us and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and blew our Crete one out of the water.
