What To Expect
This Death Valley tour begins with a hotel pickup in Las Vegas followed by a drive to Death Valley National Park in the Mojave Desert.
Upon arrival, visit Zabriskie Point to experience one of the park’s most famous views — a maze of wildly eroded and vibrantly colored badlands. Then travel the scenic loop through the multi-hued hills of Artist’s Drive to the Badwater Basin, the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere at 282 feet below sea level. This surreal landscape features one of the largest protected salt flats in the world — too harsh for most plants and animals to survive in. You'll also experience one of the most impressive views in Death Valley: Dante’s Peak, a mountaintop overlook more than 5,000 feet above the valley.
Along the way, learn about Death Valley’s history, landscape, and wildlife, plus the urban legends of ghost towns and long-abandoned gold mines. A boxed lunch and plenty of bottled water are included.
Finally, make a brief stop at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center to browse some of the books for sale and collect a Death Valley stamp for a National Park passport, if desired.
The tour ends with a return trip to Las Vegas and a hotel drop-off.

Thank you so much for taking time to write a review! Joel is great and we are glad to have him. Hope to see you on another one of our tours.
Cheers!
Awesome Dylan!!
JAGADISH_S, Jun 2023
Dylan is the best tour guide ever. He was on time, gave enough photo time at the various attractions, kept th small group in excellent humor and did an awesome job of ensuring the group got double their monies worth. Drove skillfully through some of the most challenging routes across the Death Valley National Park. Kudos to Dylan.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you for your review and feedback, both are appreciated. Wonderful to hear that Dylan was a great guide! We are glad you had a
great time and hope to see you again.
1 day on another planet
Sylvie_E, May 2023
Breathtaking landscapes! And a paradise for geologists ;-) Maybe a 1 day tour is a little bit tight but still worth it.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thanks Sylvie, you could spend a week or more exploring all of these beautiful places! We do offer longer tours for guests with more time. We are glad you enjoyed your tour.
excellent

The constantly changing views, colors, rock formations, etc., was beautiful.
Also, our driver/guide was very good with his narrative.
Day trip to Death Valley National Park
Wenting_C, Feb 2023
My kids and I had a nice experience touring the Death Valley National Park, visited all key spots/attractions. We were given plenty of time at each stop; our tour guide Indy was very professional and knowledgeable. My older one was particularly engaged.
I knocked off 1 star for the quality of lunch. For $259/person I would expect better quality of food and more varieties (my son was still hungry after eating his portion and mine).
Also, the other party in our group used iPhone so photo sharing was easier with airdrop, however since I'm using an Android phone, Indy said he could text the photo to me, I have not received them yet.
Overall worth the trip, will recommend to others.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you for your review. Death Valley is fasinating park. Our lunches are gourmet boxed lunches made fresh by a local deli each morning and include a sub, chips, fruit cup and a cookie. We know growing children can eat alot! We do make regular stops on this tour for guests to top up with snacks and drinks as needed. Throughout the day. Thanks for travelling with us!
Awesome 😎 experience
Roberto_G, Apr 2021
This was the best day tour by far that I have experienced. Chris, our guide was very knowledgeable and the way he tells stories on an upcoming attraction of the tour made our tour experience very interesting. I highly recommend taking this tour to fully understand and enjoy what Death Valley National Park has to offer. Lunch was great 👍
Response from Host, Apr 2021
Thank you so much for your great review- we really appreciate it!
Great Park, Not So Great Tour Guide.
Curiosity561730, Mar 2019
Pick up/drop was easy and as expected.
Van was clean and comfortable.
The trouble began with tour guide- he seemed to lack solid knowledge of the formations/desert sights we were seeing. Moreover, nothing was conveyed in a concise or cohesive manner as most tour guides do. The whole car ride to the park was full of our guide's incessant chatter about his own personal stories about life in Nevada. Yet, when we visited the desert sights most of us had no idea which locations he had brought us to! All his talk was for nothing- we really didn't get a good idea about what we were seeing.
I think, all in all, Death Valley is an amazing place to visit but I would have rather gone without our guide or used another tour group.
Last note- lunch was not good at all, especially for the price paid per person. It consists of Jenny-O sandwich meat on a soggy roll, a bag of lays chips, water and a cookie someone packed in a sandwich bag.
Death Valley

Our guide was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable about the geographic and human history of the area. Highly recommend this trip!
Hot but Fascinating
david_j, Jul 2018
119 degrees! But an excellent trip led by an excellent guide (Kriss).Very informative about geology,history of the area,natural history,early settlers etc.At this temperature though you can't be away from the air conditioning of the minibus more than say 10 minutes.Very good add on to the Grand Canyon and adjacent parks (which we had just done). Minibus fine for a day trip but would be a bit cramped for a longer trip.
Amazingly surprised trip to Death...
Lina_C, Mar 2018
