Kris, our Driver/Guide was an excellent fit for this tour. Seemed to be nothing he didn't know and he was a fountain of information. Saw two gunfights, the first of which was more than a little unusual. We also did the Death Valley tour with him the next day which meant we really hit the jackpot. Would I do either of these tours again. You bet.

It was the best tour. Khriss was an amazing guide. He was so knowledgable and such good humor. It was like taking a trip with a good friend. The gunfight at Chloride was hillarious. Loved it. The burros at Oatman were fun to watch and feed. I also found an item at Oatman that I had been searching all over the internet for. The goldmine trip was like going back home with all the nick-nacks they had. The 2 other couples were very friendly and the whole day was an adventure. Thanks again, Khriss and Bindlestaff Tours.

Highly recommended-this tour was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. We visited three Ghost Towns altogether as our tour guide added an extra stop for us which was really nice of him. We also visited the Hoover Dam. Each Ghost Town was different-the history of each fascinating and the desert scenery in between was incredible. This truly was the wild west and our tour Guide Khriss, who was dressed as a cowboy made this a really really fun day out. We visited old Wild West saloons and fed wild donkeys who were roaming the streets of Oatman Ghost Town. Truly memorable day and by far one of the best tours I have ever been on. Great tour company, great tour, great food, all round fantastic day out in the Wild Wild West! Thank you....

Had a fascinating and informative day touring Ghost towns in Arizona, stopping first for photo opportunity at the Hoover dam, we then drove to see the towns of Chloride, Oatman and Nelson, fascinating places well worth a visit. I especially enjoyed seeing the historic route 66 and the winding road through the mountains. I liked that we didn't rush, everything was done at a pace to enjoy the day and take note of everything we were seeing. I was especially appreciative that the tour went ahead as I was the only one booked, but can't recommend Bindlestaff Tours highly enough and Khriss for taking the tour. Khriss was informative and had great empathy for the subject and this made the tour even more interesting knowing that your guide has such a great interest and passion for the subject. Would highly recommend the tour and Bindlestaff Tours and if anyone wants a day away from the hustle and bustle of the Las Vegas strip, this is just the tour to take. Many thanks Khriss for making the day so enjoyable. Geraldine.

This ended up being a 6 hour tour with 4hours spent riding in a car. While the guide was very informative, it was rather boring just with all the riding. The town of Chloride was also dissapointing as nothing was going on due to having some snowfall the day before (?) That was wierd. Going to Oatman was the best part and probably should be highlighted in the previews for the tour. We were giving a sack lunch and left to eat out on the streets, which wouldn't have been bad if it had not been so cold out. Our last stop was at some peoples property that had a lot of old and interesting stuff, but was not a town. I just don't think it was worth what it cost.
Note from Viator: Thank you for your feedback, our supplier has responded with the following: We are very sorry that this tour did not live up to your expectations. I checked our computerized vehicle tracking device and the tour that you took was actually 9 hours with 4 hours of driving. Most clients enjoy the spectacular Mojave Desert scenery and frequently list the drive down Route 66 on the way into Oatman as one of the most scenic roads they have ever driven. We try to keep guests entertained the whole way with interesting facts and stories. Chloride is a fascinating and lesser known Ghost Town- its a deserted historic mining town and isn't over crowded with visitors, we pride ourselves with being able to get clients off the beaten track and this town certainly accomplishes that. We are sorry you didnt enjoy your lunch. Our sack lunches are prepared fresh daily by award winning Pampas Brazilian Restaurant and they have received many compliments in several reviews. One of the best parts about Oatman is being able to sit under the shop awnings enjoying lunch whilst watching the cowboy shoot out show in the streets. Our last stop is at world famous El Dorado Canyon. A 1775 historic gold mining town famous for movie shoots, promotional photography and one of the best private collections of historic mining memorabilia in the entire United States! We hope that you will join is on one of our other tours which might be better suited to your interests.
