Morning Horseback Ride with Breakfast from Las Vegas

Alisa_F, Jul 2026

Breaking my fast with a horseback ride in the desert 🏜️

Denny the driver and cook was awesome as were Hector and Chita (sorry if I misspelled) the ranch hands and guides. They are all very knowledgeable in their respective roles and were a lot of fun. The ride on the old Spanish Trail was amazing and this is an actual working ranch. I highly highly recommend doing this breakfast ride and maybe when it’s cooler, their sunset dinner ride as well. They all provided excellent service and the food was good ( Denny even had the vegetarian sausage for me), so please remember to take care of them (bring cash to tip. Now giddy up y’all get out the casinos for a minute and enjoy what other hidden gems my lovely city (yep I’m a local playing tourist which I frequently do lol) has to offer. Thanks for making it easy viator

Valley of Fire Guided Hike from Las Vegas

Brian_E, Jul 2026

Fantastic hike and guide

Wonderful hike! I did the moderate version and guide Chris was fantastic. He made the hike enjoyable by pointing out the history of the area, identifying the different vegetation and why it was there, while also making sure to find the best scenic spots and take incredible photos. At the end, he even provided the opportunity to challenge myself and do a little more difficult scramble for the experience and to get another great view. Would completely recommend this!

Ultimate Outdoor Shooting Experience in Las Vegas

Kevin_S, Jul 2026

30th Anniversary shooting experience

Went to Adrenaline Mountain as part of our 30th wedding anniversary trip to Vegas. We did the 3 gun package. Every employee was really nice and were extremely safety conscious and informative. The wife and I had a blast shooting full auto with guns we haven’t shot before. We also had fun watching and talking with the family from Australia that had never shot guns before. Their reactions were pretty funny. Afterwards the staff had BBQ ready in a nice seating area where you could play cornhole or ping pong. We would recommend, and would come back.

Flyover in Las Vegas: An Immersive Flying Ride Experience

Las Vegas Flyover experience

We booked the Iceland option but the time we selected was for the Chicago showing when we got there. Not sure why. The actual experience was fantastic and i would go again. The flyover is realistic, you can feel the spray of water from fountains and you can smell car fumes from the city at certain points. Would highly recommend.

Grand Canyon National Park South from Las Vegas with Lunch, WiFi

Malcolm_B, May 2026

Go with them!

It was amazing! Eric, the tour guy is very knowledgeable and has answered all of our questions! On top of that, he is professional yet super friendly. And our driver, Brandon is a great driver! Overall we are very pleased with the whole trip. Only thing is that It was kinda confusing where the pickup spot was for our hotel, mandalay bay. Initially I thought it was rideshare area, but it's on completely different spot (beach entrance)... Just had to figure that out because we are not familiar with hotel area. I highly recommend this trip! South rim is beautiful!!

Do not hesitate to book the helicopter experience

I absolutely loved this tour, it met all my expectations and even surpassed them. We got Gia as our tour guide, what a fun and professional woman! Having her made our visit even better. Do not hesitate to book the helicopter trip, it’s an investment for your life experiences.

Guided Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend Day Tour from Las Vegas

Christie_L, May 2026

Best day out of the city

This trip was definitely one my trip's highlights. The sights are amazing. There are a couple of things that you should know. It is not a small group. Its is 32 people. Take cash for tips for the driver, guide and the guide at the Canyon which is a different guide from the one that takes you there. It is a long ride but the van is comfortable and you get to see the sights of the road which are amazing. My guide was attentive, but I booked a Spanish tour and she spoke very little spanish. She spoke more italian, portuguese and french. Not spanish at all. I understood the english guide better than her. NOTE that you will need to buy your own breakfast and lunch at a gas stop. at the gas stop they sell chicken sandwiches, fruits, yogurt, water, some veggies. Nothing for vegan or vegetarian diets. so, take your own. it is not included in the tour. Only the stop to buy it yourself is guaranteed. At the Canyon you will NOT be able to take purse, bags, backpacks or anything. NOT even a selfie stick. But the guides at the canyon are very attentive at least the one I got, Thomas, and takes your pictures. Once you get to the canyon, the group of 32 is divided win smaller groups of 11 and 12 people. so that makes it more doable to take pictures without anybody else on them. I took plenty and they are all breathtaking. I definitely recommend this trip for anyone who is outdoorsy, likes nature and wants and can take a day off from the strip in Vegas and the city. It is the whole day though, not shortcuts about it. You will be back at 8:30pm. And probably pretty tired from the trip. ENJOY!

Enjoyed my tour!

I had an amazing time with Steve as our tour guide! I really enjoyed the scenic views and would most definitely recommend this activity to everyone. I loved the part where we actually got to walk a bit down the mountain to get a closer view of the rocks, make sure you’re wearing comfortable tennis shoes!

2-Hour Exotic Car Driving Experience in Las Vegas

Peter_C, Dec 2025

Best bucket list item ever!

This is definitely one that should be on your bucket list if you drive a car. There is a smorgasbord of exotic supercars to choose from, including ones with a top speed of almost 200mph. I chose the Mercedes AMG GT R (198mph) and my partner chose the Austin Martin (195mph). After a two lap run to learn the course we were set loose in our cars with an instructor who coached us on when to brake, when to stand on the gas, and what line works best. They video your run with views out the windshield and of your face. I don't know if the metrics show on the video or not, but it would be nice to know how fast I was going. The track is 1.3 miles long and has 10 turns, including 2 hairpins. The longest straightaway is just over 1000 feet, so standing on the gas during that stretch is mandatory. All in all, the adrenaline rush is out of this world and the desire to get back behind the wheel immediately is overwhelming. We did this for my partner's birthday and she said it was the greatest gift ever. Definitely take a spin at Exotic Cars Speedway.
