Work had been stressful of late , needed a weekend getaway away from computer emails and meetings , Vegas never disappoints, highly recommend this tour , Julia our tour guide is very knowledgeable and a fact cannon, and shared lots of information about the region ( Hoover dam , lake mead , emerald lake etc , although kayaking is a workout in its own yet it was rejuvenating to say the least , will be back soon

My grandson and I had a wonderful experience. Our tour guide Haley was energetic , knowledgeable and fun. Being a little on the older side had its challenges, but Haley made sure all was taken care of! I would definitely recommend this trip!
