Fun to see “old” Las Vegas - The tour was fun and informative and it was nice to experience Vegas off the strip. Our guide (Laurinda) was fun and knowledgeable. I appreciated that she shared other fun events and areas to check out, like the brewery blocks and the art district. I recommend this tour.

VIP Historical Tour w/ a show! Highly recommend. - This walking tour of Old Downtown Vegas was absolutely incredible! The hosts were engaging and had a plethora of fascinating knowledge about the city’s history and hidden gems. The attention to detail was impeccable, down to the Rusty Nail! You can really tell how much care and passion they put into creating this experience. Such a treat to visit penthouse rooms and experience an intimate seductive saucy fun burlesque show! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to see a more authentic side of Vegas while being treated like a VIP ✨

I met up with Char in... - I met up with Char in front of Carousel bar and she took us through the sights of Fremont. It was a small tour that day, just me but I loved that she still gave me the full experience. She had so much knowledge of and stories about early Las Vegas and took me not just around downtown but through history too from 1900ish to just about present day! I loved hearing about all the different players who built Las Vegas and what it was like back in the day. We wrapped up near Container Park after the El Cortez and she had some great recommendations for the rest of my afternoon too. Would definitely recommend the tour again! I might even do the evening tour next time I'm in town.

Vegas local bucket list - This is MUST DO for visitors.. even more so for Vegas LOCALS!!! I’ve lived in Vegas on and off for almost 15 years and never been to many of the stops on this tour and definitely didn’t know the details of the history of “sin city.” The tour is fun, engaging and the guides don’t miss a beat. If you love history, are looking for something interesting to do or just want to see something unexpected in downtown LV you need to book this tour!!

First Vegas Visit - Char was very informative. There were three of us, and we were close enough to hear everything she said and the videos she showed us. Lots of interesting information.

Fremont - Historical overview of old Las Vegas & how it came to be to include the older casinos & the era of legal prostitution. Noisy environment added to difficulty in hearing what the guide was saying. Using headphones may have helped with this issue.
