    This is a great, safer way to see an amazing state park and some fascinating bits of history. Clayton, our guide, made sure that we were well supplied with water, sunscreen, electrolytes, and snacks, and checked in frequently to see how we were doing in the heat. He set expectations clearly about what we could and couldn’t do in this weather, told us an astounding number of facts, and kept conversation moving among a group who didn’t know each other, including some whose first language wasn’t English. He’s thoughtful, professional, and fun to talk to— he will talk a lot and talk fast, but don’t be afraid to interrupt with a question or an issue or if you need him to slow down. The lunch is from Subway but for those who aren’t fans it seems to be one of the better franchises- it’s fine. Call ahead if you have allergies and they’ll do what they can to adjust snacks for sure. The tour is well planned in terms of restroom and food breaks, as well as planning around traffic dropping off on the Strip (to the extent possible) The Lost City Museum and the park Visitors Center are clearly older in terms of the exhibits, but I see a lot of thought and care in what’s presented and while I am not an expert on Native representation by any means and the tone of the signage varies across the park and the museum, there does seem to be some work going into representing Native perspectives, and gift shop staff could point me to Native made crafts and understood why I was asking. The rock formations are GORGEOUS. This was a welcome break after the overstimulation of attending a professional conference, and even though summer hiking is a bad plan for most of us, you’ll get some walking and scrambling up rocks in if you want to. If that is not within your range of mobility or heat tolerance, you’ll still see some stunning sights from in or near the vehicle. No guarantees on the fauna, but we were fortunate to see big horn sheep and vultures.

    My best friend and I returned to Las Vegas this year to celebrate her retirement. We had been in 2019 also. We booked this tour to see the fabled Valley of Fire and Lost City (Anasazi) and were delighted to find there were just 4 of us plus our guide Eli in the clean SUV for the 7 hour trip. Eli picked us up at our resort, and along with a pair of twin sisters, we headed out on our adventure, complete with Subway sandwich meals, lots of snacks and bottled water available throughout the trip. It was a lovely clear day for sightseeing! Eli was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative about the history and geology of the region as we traveled. There was a good mix of driving time, hiking time, and break times. We were all very comfortable. This was a great alternative to bigger bus tours, much more personalized. We had input into where and when to spend time, within reason, and keep on his schedule. It was a great experience!

    Lost city museum, petroglyphs were highlights. Unfortunately we were seated in the very back of a SUV. Being 73 years old, getting in and out was difficult. Having done this trip on our own several years ago we were hoping for much more dialog. It was difficult for the driver to hear any of our questions and it was difficult for us to hear the muffled headset. Most knowledge came from signage which we could have done on our own.

    I took the Valley of Fire Tour on November 25th with The tour guide was Paul and he was a wealth of information. He was patient, knowledgeable and provided a ton of insightful details about plants and wildlife that live in the park. Pllus he had a great sense of humour. This was my first time in a desert environment and I was impressed with the setting and photo opportunities. If i am ever back in the Las Vegas area, I will definitely take another tour with Adventure Photo Tours and ask for Paul. The only disappointment was the Lost City Museum was closed for American Thanksgiving.

    My friend and I went to Las Vegas to see the Rolling Stones and took this trip on our extra day there. Clayton was our guide and he did a wonderful job of showing us so many special spots in the Valley of Fire. We hiked, took pictures, learned about the history of the park and the territory, and enjoyed a great day in beautiful weather.

    What wonderful views! The tour was good, but if I had to do again, I would have looked for one that just went to the valley of Fire as I would have liked to have had more time there to view and explore. The museum was ok, but I think we could have gotten as much from the visitor’s center. Even though we were not staying on the strip, they still picked us up at our hotel. Lunch was a basic sandwich and chips, which was good. Planned bathroom stops along the way. The minimum number didn’t make, so we paid a bit more so we could go. Our guide was informative to a degree, but I was more interested in the landscape than the houses being built. He did point out some of the more interesting and unique formations- it was fun to see what shapes you could find. Although we didn’t feel rushed, it would have been helpful to have had some general guidelines for time along the way. Maybe make one or two longer to allow for some exploration of the area. The views are so amazing, and the rock formations are incredible!! Overall it was a fantastic day and we’d do it again!!

    Because there were not enough people for a full tour we ended up paying more for a private tour with Paul McCormick - who was fabulous. He is knowledgeable, interesting, competent, and very considerate. He asked our interests and tailored the trip to the things we really wanted to see. We chose this tour (over some other offerings) because it offered a trip to the Lost Museum - a 'must' see - and also petroglyphs. I am a passionate fan of anything archaeological and the opportunity to see these up close was irresistible. His experience in world travel and awareness of other cultures made him the perfect guide for us. I would highly recommend him and suggest you talk with Adventure Photo Tours to find out about a more intimate tour experience - worth the extra expense - just fabulous!!

    Barry was terrific. We had the perfect day. He greeted us with a friendly smile and a warm hello. He brought us a snack. Barry was very engaging. Always calling us by name. Lunch at the cabins was fun and relaxing. Nice sense of humor as well very knowledgeable of the area. We had a great day. Thank you.

    Tour guide Barry was excellent--and so was his assistant Jim! We appreciated their knowledge of the geological topography and history of the area, the snacks, drinks and lunches they provided, their willingness to take pictures of us, and their flexibility around what our interests were. The landscape was truly outstanding--unlike anything we had seen before! They took us to see the petroglyphs, which were amazing! Though we had seen other pueblo sites, the museum was also very interesting.
