This trip was awesome! A little scary to operate the ATV through the hills and peaks - but it was quite empowering to do it and exciting. The tours were informative and fun. The set-up was great - you got to experience being in the middle of nowhere, with the amenities that we all like to have - toilets, running water, etc. I would def do it again!

Fantastic from start to finish. Tour guide was great, very friendly, helpful and full of great stories. Would highly recommend this tour and would do it again without hesitation. Well worth the money!

This was a fantastic trip. The tour guide was very nice and very knowledgeable; she gave us a great tour of the gold mine and knew her stuff. When it came to the quad biking, she explained all the controls really well, but I couldn't manage to steer it!!! It ended up really well though because I got the best of both worlds, I got on the back of her quad and saw some AMAZING views and scenery as well as getting a running commentary of the area. It was great not having to drive too!!! Excellent tour, really interesting and great fun too.

I'm an outdoor adventurous person and this experience is rated at the top. I enjoyed both the ATV and the guided tour of the Gold Mine.

One of the BEST!!! I loved every moment of it, it was so fun. Our tour guide was awesome and very informative. My first time on an ATV but rode it like a pro. It's dirty because of the dirt, but that was the fun part about it.

I loved it, so much fun! Very scary at first because I didn't know how to ride but definitely worth the experience! I'm a pro now!

An exciting adrenaline rush! If you want to do something fun, away from the crowds & more personalised...this is it! The length of quad biking time is ideal, & the tour is the icing on the cake! Fascinating! Would like to have spent more time at the mine! Loved it! The people are lovely & very knowledgeable about both the mine, the surrounding nature & history. Would be great if you could do a nighttime safari here!!

We had a great time. We were both inexperienced drivers but it didn't matter because our guide was great. The lunch was very good. The Gold Mine was the best part and had a great guide for that. You have to do it!!!!

This was the highlight of our trip to Las Vegas. Our guide was fantastic and the ATV was a blast to drive. Our tour of El Dorado mines was most enjoyable. We would definitely do this again.

For this adventure you need a rating higher than 'Absolutely Fantastic'! This was the highlight of our trip. We wish we would have done this every day! Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared his knowledge with us freely. We both felt like we could easily have just stayed on-site with this group rather than in Las Vegas itself.

We did several things when we went to Vegas, but this one was the best. The gold mine portion was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. However it was shorter than I expected. Immediately after that, we drove just another mile to the Eldorado Canyon ATV trails. The ATV trails are pretty mild, so I would say anyone could do it. The views from up there were ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. Our guide was great. It has been a long time since I'd met such an interesting person. I hope to run into him again as I plan to book more excursions.

I enjoyed the trip. Not as spontaneous as I hoped as it followed a prepared track in a small valley, but still a bundle of laughs. The mine tour was very interesting and a nice end to the afternoon as it was nice and cool
