Steve is great! - The history was amazing. The fact that it's owned by a family whose kids dug out the mine is crazy! Everyone there was so nice and informative. The best part was our driver, Steve. I forgot my hat in the car and he came all the way back to return it to me. 5 stars!

Fun Getaway - We had a fantastic time. Léo, our driver was friendly informative, and made sure that we saw all the attractions and enjoyed our time. The gold mine tour was a very pleasant and unique experience. Highly recommend this as a day trip to get away from Las Vegas.
