A rich history lesson of the terrain and life outside of the glitz of the city of Las Vegas! - The tour guide was so knowledgeable and so friendly and caring that all of us on the tour had wonderful experiences. We loved the walk and I particularly really enjoyed all the flora and fauna we saw on the walk and elsewhere. We so enjoyed walking on the ranch inside and out of Vera Krupp's home. Having a gift shop inside was nice, too. My friend and I would definitely recommend this tour! You will learn a lot of the terrain outside of the glitz of the city of Las Vegas.
