PICKUP POINTThe wonderful stories of the Wild West come to life during our tour to Eldorado Canyon – the country of fabulous wealth, where you’ll find the oldest and most famous gold mines of Southern Nevada. This legendary place is shrouded in mystery, but no worries, because it won’t stay a secret for long. At least, not from you!
Your journey will start right at the doorsteps of your hotel or Airbnb, where our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide will pick you up in a luxury vehicle. Our tour will be full of stories about the Spanish explorers of the 1700s, the renowned Queho Indians, the deserters of the Civil War, and the hard life of gold miners. For example, did you know that in the 1880s, there were more people in Eldorado Canyon than in Las Vegas Valley? So, you will tour the splendid Eldorado Canyon and take a trip back in time when saloons and cowboys were the norms.
Our itinerary goes from the southern part of Nevada to Eldorado Canyon, situated just 45 minutes away from Las Vegas. On our way there, we will enjoy the beautiful scenery. We will walk around the oldest, richest, and most important gold mine as soon as we arrive. Our guide will tell you the exciting stories of the cowboy gunfights, the lawlessness that reigned there in those times, and the ghosts that allegedly haunt the mines.

Ashley was a very entertaining tour guide for our party of 4. The tour was in a brand-new luxury SUV which was nice. We got so much information about the area. We loved Nelson ghost town; it was very unique. We took amazing pictures there! We appreciated Ashley’s knowledge, courtesy, patience, and great photography. Perfect experience!

Very fun trip! Josh, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Every aspect of the tour was great. I personally liked the historical information and the goldmine tour best, but everything else was cool too.

I think this tour is a must do when in Vegas. The Nelson town is filled with history and not your everyday Nevada attraction. And where else can you go inside a gold mine? Our tour guide Leslie made this day super memorable with her natural charisma. She had plenty of stories to tell about the area, especially the Gold Mine. Very informative, fun and unique experience. Will book more tours with this company!
