Excellent driver/guide. Shared much information and amusing stories. Lots of verbal interaction with passengers.

Great Virginia City tour

Published on Oct, 2024

The drive from Lake Tahoe, through Carson City & to Virginia City was very interesting. Our tour guide shared interesting history & stories about the areas we were driving through. The ride on the Virginia & Truckee Railroad was narrated by the conductor with great stories of the gold rush & the silver discovered in the area. We then had 2 hours to spend in Virginia City where we could eat lunch & do some shopping. They have kept the 1800's feel with many original buildings. I would recommend this tour if you enjoy learning about the history of places you visit.

An awesome experience!!!!
