5.00It was an incredible day out experience. the trip was definitely one not tomiss if you love history and the old west, Virginia City itself was like stepping back in time to the Wild West, driver/guide was really friendly and kept us entertained with his commentaries and history of the places we drove through. we had enough time to walk through the streets of visiting various shops did a mine tour. we stopped at Carson City to visit Nevada State Museum fascinating rich history. overall we had a enjoyable day. this trip was well organized with just the right balance of activities and free time to wander. It’s a must do for anyone visiting Nevada especially if you love history and the Wild West vibe! Highly recommended!
