Richard was excellent. Lots of little details about the history of Las Vegas, especially the downtown area. Tidbits about well known Las Vegas mob personalities and how downtown and the Strip evolved in a different ways. Highlights and secrets of some of the iconic downtown hotels. Enjoyable!!

5-Star Viator review: Downtown Las Vegas Walking Tour - Night

Downtown Las Vegas is an experience you must have while visiting Sin City. We got the scoop on the local community and Richard's historical knowledge and story telling skills brought Old Las Vegas to life, I felt like I was right there when they built the first casinos.

WHO I AM

As for me I am an ex-US Army guy. When I got out, sheer jealousy made me join my wife as a teacher - she was getting all those eight week summer vacations! Together we taught in Arizona and California and eight wonderful years in Ecuador.

When it was time to turn in my grade book I turned to leading tours. First I worked for an excellent tour company, learning to translate my knowledge of history and geology into small group centered fun trips and always giving my clients the most memorable experience. I struck out on my own three years ago and I strive to give each tour member on every tour a 5-Star experience. As I like to say, with me it is your tour. I am just along to make your tour super special.

WHAT I DO

I primarily do half day and full day tours with Las Vegas as my center of operations. My first love is small group walking tours of the Las Vegas Strip and the Downtown Fremont Street Experience. Close seconds are my intimate private tours to places like Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire and many of the other near-to-Vegas wonders, where I can give a quirky historian's side take on some of the great wonders of the world. I am a member in good standing with the Las Vegas Tourist Guide Guild.

Worth every penny

Viator review: Downtown Las Vegas Walking Tour - Day

Being English we knew very little about vegas and it’s history so was very interesting to do learn about it and do something that wasn’t typically touristy
Richard knew his stuff in detail
He even got down on his hands and knees in the casino to help look for my missing earring which was very much appreciated
