Memorable Day - The Route 66 Ghost Town tour was everything and then some. Matthew, our Forventura guide was quite pleasant and extremely knowledgeable on history of the Nelson and Oatman Mines. The ride along Route 66 to Kingman, AZ was quite an experience. He was very accommodating to everyone in our group making necessary and scenic stops along the way. If you’ve already visited the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and the Vegas strip, I highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic Route 66 Experience - This was a great day trip lead by driver/guide Matthew. We visited Nelson ghost town and had an eerie walk round, then Oatman on Route 66 and saw the burros wandering through the town. A real old western friendly town and then onto Kingman on Route 66 and spent time in the amazing Route 66 museum. A highly recommended day trip out of Las Vegas!.

Great day out - We had a great day, we were picked up at the Golden Nugget and were waiting at the wrong entrance but Mathew rang us and was very good and just said don't rush and off we went, another 2 pick-ups on the way, stopped at Nelson first after a bit of history from Mathew on the way and it was a cool place, then on to Oatman and again some good info given along the way, honestly it would have been nice to have an extra 30min here as there was the gunfight show when we arrived and once that finished and then had a bite to eat we found ourselves rushing which was a shame, from there was another cool drive along route 66 and quick stop at Cool Springs which we thought was great, being from the UK everything we looked at was cool 😂, then on to Kingman which again was nice to see, the museum was ok but we would have exchanged our time in there for some extra at Oatman if I'm being honest, The Santa Fe locomotive was also nice to see, would I ever do that trip again? Yes I would, and another thank you to Mathew for a good day trip

Not that nice - If you have the chance to travel with the Brazilian dude, let me tell you that his conversation about " Origins" is stressful. More than 1 people including me have felt not very please after listening to his "cliche" point of view of nationalities and facial features a person should have.
