Brian is a first class tour operator- years of experience, extremely knowledgeable and fun! I learned so much more about the park than I anticipated, appreciated the off-the-beaten path views he brought us to, and even hitting the speed bump FAST (don't worry - we all consented first). I saw where some movie magic took place, too. He was able to adjust the trip to accommodate everyone's must-sees. For me it was wildflowers, animal Wildlife and an oasis in the desert. Plus there was so. Much. More. The surprise side trips were super fun - no spoilers here. Transportation was so easy from the Vegas hotel. Food was plentiful-- most definitely a beautiful full day in the desert !! It really made a difference spending time with a guide so personally passionate about this place. I very highly recommend this tour.

Absolutely fantastic day out - Jason was an incredible tour guide, kept us all energized and interested throughout the day (despite the Dad jokes).
Every stop was different and we got to witness some amazing sights, sounds and good - a brilliant day.
Early pickup was totally worth it to see the stars and the sunrise - having a small group was really helpful too as we didn't have to wait around!
Would 100% recommend, and would love to do it all again in the future.

Impressive sights in the Death Valley area and vicinity. Well planned out to ensure comfort while doing the activities so good planning. It gets hot so safety first. Jason was a good tour guide through the trip with all the facts and of course the jokes and humor. I would recommend this tour for those interested in seeing natural wonders while Jason and team take care of the planning and getting you around safely.

It was a great day trip to Death Valley that included stargazing, sunrise view and covering multiple places along the Death Valley formation. Out guide Brian was very informative and helpful with all the activities. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
Renata_K, Jun 2026
I did not like getting up so early, but it allowed us to see the run rise and to avoid the heat :)
Dead valley salt covered lake was the highlight for me. Yes I would recommend!
Darshna_P, May 2026
Our guide Bryan is very knowledgeable person. Started to end our tour very exciting. So much fun. Very good adventure.
Jennifer_N, May 2026
This is a wonderful experience for anyone who wants to see Death Valley, especially for those traveling solo. Although it requires an early wake-up call, being able to witness the sunrise over the mountaintops at Dante’s View and explore the park with little to no tourists around is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We visited all the best spots in the national park, and I never once felt rushed or limited on time at any location. Jason, our guide, gave us plenty of time to fully take in the sights and scenery. Not to mention, he was a remarkable guide—informative, patient, conversational, and kind throughout the entire trip. Again, I felt like this tour was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will remember forever. It’s especially special for solo travelers, as you get the chance to meet others from different countries along the way. Thanks again to Jason for his professionalism and expertise in the national park! You’ll be lucky to have him as your guide.

10/10!
Before this trip, I deliberately avoided doing any research about Death Valley np because I wanted to be surprised, and wow, it exceeded my expectations in every way.
First of all, our guide Brian was amazing — funny, knowledgeable, and super reliable. He made the whole journey smooth and engaging, and you can really tell he knows the place inside out.
Secondly, the itinerary was perfect. We got to visit all the iconic and breathtaking spots across Death Valley . It truly felt like we didn’t miss a thing. The landscapes are absolutely unreal.
Finally, shoutout to the great group I traveled with such a fun and positive vibe throughout the day, which made the experience even more memorable.
Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting from Las Vegas!

Jason was a great guide, communicate well before the trip and was punctual for our 5am pick up. He was knowledgeable about many aspects of Death Valley and kept the long drives entertaining and enjoyable.
Jason is a super safe driver, charismatic guide and overall nice dude. Go to Death Valley with him! Thanks Jason.

Excellent small group tour - Jason the guide was brilliant, and the included breakfast buffet was the best breakfast I had during my whole Vegas trip!
Jann_D, Apr 2026
I have to admit that this is the best tour we have ever gone on. It was a long day and not for the faint of heart, but Brian was a remarkable host. He talked history both old and new and showed us indepth into Death Valley. If you want the works, go on this tour.
Minu_A, Apr 2026
I highly recommend this tour to all! Had a great experience - it is clear that Brian is very knowledgeable about the park and passionate about what he is doing! Plenty of stunning views and stops for rest! In fact he threw in couple extra stops in the itinerary! If you are thinking about this tour, go for it!
Ilhan_K, Apr 2026
One not to miss! Amazing views all around. Some really unique places to see. Our driver/guide Jason was so great as well!
Megha_K, Apr 2026
Nice experience. Brian knows the Death Valley in and out. Visited many spots. Breakfast buffet was good.
Edward_B, Mar 2026
A fantastic experience with Jason, our driver. Jason was extremely knowledgeable and brought great energy. We had a small group which was a better experience than the larger tour buses. The views were all different and incredibly breathtaking. Truly a memorable experience. Thank you Jason for an experience we won’t soon forget, well done!
David_C, Mar 2026
The tour was a great way to see the whole park in one day, includes transportation, lunch and water.
Wenjun_L, Mar 2026
Our guide Jason is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to meet all our needs. A wonderful 12-hr trip.
Anuja_A, Mar 2026
Great experience!!!
Definitely recommended!!
Jason was our guide ,he made sure we enjoy the places completely and took care of our needs - food, bathroom break , taking pictures.
Covered all the spots in death valley.
Nancy_O, Mar 2026
Great driver. Jason was very knowledgeable and patient. He gave us a great tour (and a lot of bathroom breaks). I thought the highlight of the tour was the Bad Water Basin also known as the salt flats. Now I can take it off my bucket list. Be prepared though. It is a long day
MariaIlaria_M, Mar 2026
It's the most complete Death Valley excursion available on the market. The places are just stunning and the guide (Jason) is amazing.
Carol_C, Mar 2026
Brian was an excellent Tour Guide - getting up early was worth it. We loved all the history and other information he provided. He was punctual, mindful of everyone's needs and a joy to spend a day with!
His interest and excitement about the park was evident with every stop. There was no way we could have experienced the park so extensively on our own.
Jennifer_I, Mar 2026
Brian gave us a lot of history of the area. We got to walk in the salt flats and see so many beautiful places!
Joshua_O, Mar 2026
I loved this trip, it wasn’t a usual bus tour with a tour guide having to look over two dozen people, but a small van with a very friendly tour guide named Jason who showed me and the elderly couple I was with all the best and niche places to see all throughout South Death Valley, I hope to take this again when I come see Death Valley again.
Denise_A, Mar 2026
Jason is fun with a lot of information. Breakfast is great and I think you get to see the best of the NP
Stacey_M, Mar 2026
This excursion promises and an forgettable experience. Brian our tour leader is very knowledgeable and excited to share the history of Death Valley and bring it to life. The 12 hour day excursion is relaxed and well paced. The itinerary is both fun and interesting.
Brian made sure we had a generous and tasty buffet breakfast and many stops for bathroom and refreshment breaks. This excursion is a photographer's dream. Highly recommended.
Joan_L, Mar 2026
The host was extremely knowledgeable and approachable. I felt like he really cared about us seeing all the great sights. Brian was fantastic.
Penny_G, Mar 2026
From start to finish, this was a first-rate tour. From 5:30 am to 6:30 pm, Brian pulled out all the stops to present an engaging history of Nevada and Death Valley as well as an adventurous tour of numerous Death Valley sites. He gave us plenty of time to explore, and he was always attuned to the needs of his group members.
Lory_V, Mar 2026
It was hot. Bring sunscreen and hat and there are several stops for restroom breaks or snacks or souvenir shopping.
