We learned so much about Vegas! Shaun is extremely knowledgeable and an outstanding tour guide!! We learned a lot about history and saw many interesting places we wouldn’t have seen otherwise!!

More than just Freemont Street.

Scott_Y, Nov 2022

This tour was a whole lot more than we expected and were thoroughly impressed with Sean's knowledge and experience of the rich history Las Vegas has had. If you want to know more about the history of Freemont street and the surrounding area, then my wife and I strongly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour!

A fun filled & informative look at the original Vegas .Much more interesting than the Strip & without this booked we wouldn’t have ventured there.We liked it so much that we went back the next night.! I would give our guide more than 5 stars if I could .Brilliant!!!

Great Tour! Don't miss this one!

What a great tour! I'm glad that this was the first thing I did once I landed in Las Vegas. Shawn gives you a great overview of Downtown, restaurants, casinos, local art, and other points of interest, all in a short period of time. I learned so much that I'm planning my next trip here based on his recommendations alone. Shawn is a blast as a tour leader, very knowlegeable and knows everyone downtown.

Awesome tour and host.

DonnaBolton, May 2022

Awesome tour! Sean is an expert tour guide. Showed us all major attractions on Fremont and surrounding area. His knowledge of Vegas casino history is impressive. He was very personable and was able to answer any of our questions. I’ve been to Fremont street numerous times but the tour took me to places I hadn’t seen before. A great experience!

Fremont st

Fun

Candus_B, May 2022

Interested learning more about Fremont Street and surrounding area from a local. Was able to see and go to many places that I wouldn’t have on my own. Main Street Casino was beautiful inside and their own beer was delicious!

Entertaining and Informative

Frederick_S, Mar 2022

Sean was a wonderful guide. So knowledgable. Really was aware of our interests, too. So many interesting places and things to see, places to eat. We would not have known about otherwise.

Don't Sleep On this Tour

Shaun was an excellent LV historian, took group photos, knew specifics about restaurants & was inviting questions & conversation.

Fun day

Great tour Sean was very knowledgeable about the area. Would consider staying in Fremont Street next Vegas visit after this tour to spend more time in the area

Sean was great! He is a...

TAMI_G, Feb 2022

Sean was great! He is a tremendous amount of knowledge about Las Vegas and especially the downtown area. We saw places downtown that you would never go or find without knowing about the many hidden gems!

Tons of Information and Sights

Mary_B, Feb 2022

I wish I brought a little note pad to take notes on since Shaun gave so much information and so many recommendations! I would highly recommend this tour. It covers a ton of downtown not just Fremont Street, and Shaun has recommendations for anything you might want to do in Las Vegas. Bathroom stops were frequently offered, and the tour guide covered the cost of a water/pop partway through which was really nice. We saw and learned so much of downtown which we wouldn't have seen or known just walking around on our own. I chose this tour based on the good reviews here, which seemed to have a higher percent of happy customers compared to others even though there weren't that many reviews, and I am very happy we went with Shaun to show us around downtown Las Vegas while we were visiting for a weekend from San Diego-thanks for a great tour!

Great tour of Fremont area!

Pamela_T, Jan 2022

AMESHALEX, Jan 2022

Shaun was very knowledgeable and knew about the history of Fremont street and nearby area. He covered almost everything which helped us plan how to spend rest of our days efficiently. Highly recommend this at the beginning of your trip.

highly recommended!

Dawn_V, Dec 2021

excellent tour! shaun was so fun and superbly knowledgeable! quirky fun facts and a lot of history! extremely flexible to those who get achy from walking so much, lol…aka, me! while he accommodated our desire to be foodies, adding food tastings to this tour would make a 10-star tour….extremely ‘connected’ to all the yummy places in Downtown Vegas. had a wonderful time with family!

Amazing tour and worth the money!

Laura_M, Nov 2021

Shaun was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. The tour also included seeing things that you would not normally see in your own. He also made good recommendations for what to do when we come back sometime.
