Richard is an amazing tour guide. Two full hours of the history and interesting facts of Downtown Las Vegas and the Arts District. I would highly recommend a tour with him. He is very knowledgeable, personable and humorous.

This was a delightful daytime walking tour of downtown Las Vegas due to our exceptional tour guide, Richard Evans. We learned so much about the development of Las Vegas. the history of the casinos and so many fun facts that were all new to us. Richard is former teacher, now an amazing tour guide who excels in sharing his wealth of information in a fun and fascinating way. We loved every minute!

Old Vegas is somewhere everyone should tour at least once. Although the FACTUAL historic information was great, the random not related commentary from our tour guide, yielded a much longer tour than necessary. We stood outside the El Cortez for at least 20 minutes in the scorching listening to unnecessary ramblings. Additionally, the tour guide was not respectful of personal space. For those reading this review, I will say that the tour guide that received great reviews (Richard) was not the one that provided our tour.

Richard was fantastic! He showed me so many details about the Fremont Street area that I would never have guessed. He was super knowledgeable, friendly and created a fun experience that I will share about with others.

Increíble experiencia, nos transportamos totalmente en el recorrido a "Las Vegas Antigua". Richard es excelente guía, profesional, preparado, prolijo en historia y conocimientos sobre los orígenes de las Vegas. Tanto mi novio como yo quedamos inmersos en todos los datos históricos y culturales que han dado pie a lo que es hoy la capital del pecado. Recomiendo este tour 100%. Y como plus: Puedes hablar español y Richard hace lo posible por entender y responder a tus consultas.
