Fantastic tour with great...

Deborah_K, Feb 2026
Fantastic tour with great audio — perfect amount of history and detail. I especially liked the descriptions of the various hikes accessible from the overlook stops. Great way to visit Red Rock Canyon!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Deborah, I’m glad you felt my Red Rock Canyon GPS Driving Audio Tour struck the right balance of history and detail. It’s great to hear that the hike descriptions at the overlook stops were especially helpful. If you’re up for more road-trip adventures, you might enjoy my Nevada Bundle, which includes more self-guided tours like Hoover Dam, Death Valley, Lake Tahoe, and more.

Just a short drive from the Las Vegas Strip

Mike_F, Jan 2026
Accurate and informative. Great way to spend some time in Vegas when you need a break from the glitz of the strip. And, ActionTours has great customer service!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Mike, glad you enjoyed my Red Rock Canyon self-guided driving audio tour. It really is the perfect quick escape from the Vegas Strip. Thanks as well for the kind words about customer service; that means a lot. If you’re up for more road-trip adventures, you might like my Nevada Bundle with more self-guided tours like Hoover Dam, Death Valley, Lake Tahoe, and more.

That they need to...

Daniel_A, Sep 2025
That they need to purchase a separate ticket through a government website. This should be made abundantly clear. I thought it included the fee.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Daniel, I do mention the separate entrance fee in multiple places—both before and after purchase—so travelers don’t face issues on the day of their visit. You may have missed that part. Don’t worry, my tour is valid for a year after booking. If you’ve left the location, I can help with the refund process or offer a replacement tour—just let me know what you need. I’m available daily from 9 to 6 EST and happy to assist!

Great audio tour!

Bobbi_S, May 2025
The audio tour was great, gave history and landmarks and knew where we were for each stop. Very cool!

Response from Host, May 2025

Bobbi, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the Red Rock Canyon Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour. It’s great that the GPS worked smoothly and the stories added to your visit with history and landmarks right on cue. For more Nevada adventures, check out my Tour of Nevada Bundle. With self-guided tours, you can explore iconic sights like Death Valley, Hoover Dam, Lake Tahoe and more. Happy exploring!

Scammed?

Graciela_S, Dec 2024
Arrived at Red Rock and I still had to pay to get in and no one knew of this service. They stated that I got scammed.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Graciela, I’m sorry to hear about the confusion at Red Rock Canyon. My self-guided tour isn’t an entrance ticket—it’s designed to enhance your visit with detailed directions and engaging audio stories. After purchasing, you should have received setup instructions to get started. Entrance fees are separate, but the tour is valid for a year, so I hope you’ll give it another try and enjoy the experience!

At least it’s inexpensive

hollis6forlife, Jun 2024
Not much info to listen to! Wouldn’t do this one again. Red Rock Canyon was 20 bucks to enter and is already basically a self guided tour so this didn’t add much except explaining how the layers were formed.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

The tour wasn't quite the perfect fit for your Red Rock Canyon trip, Michael. Our tour is designed to be a self-guided experience alongside the park entrance fee mentioned in the listing details. My audio tour covers everything you saw; it does delve into the geological history and hidden stories of the Canyon.

Mislead

Toole, Jun 2024
Red Rock was amazing. The app to get tickets was miss leading. Military didn’t have to pay and the charge is for during peak season. So basically we donated the money. Positive note it is an awesome experience.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

I'm sorry about the confusion with the Red Rock Canyon fees, Toole. My listing clearly states this is for the audio tour only, and the park entrance is separate. The military does get in free for the park itself. I will accept a refund request if you thought this was the park entrance fee. I'm glad you enjoyed Red Rock Canyon, though!

Well Worth It

John_M, Mar 2024
Definitely would do this type of tour again. The app worked perfectly and the narrations was interesting and informative. WE stumbled upon a couple of the Alt spots just by driving by them. All of a sudden, the app was speaking again. A nice bonus.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

I'm so glad to hear you had a great experience with the Red Rock Canyon tour, John! If you're eager to explore more, our Nevada Self-Guided Audio Tour bundle, including Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, offers more interesting and informative narratives to enhance your journey. Dive into the history and natural beauty at your own pace. You can find this bundle where you booked your Red Rock tour. I'm looking forward to having you on more audio adventures!
