Escape to the desert on a day trip to Death Valley during your Las Vegas vacation. You'll travel through the magnificent Mojave Desert, tour Ubehebe Crater, visit the atmospheric Furnace Creek Ranch Museum and Rhyolite Ghost Town.
Your Death Valley adventure begins with a complimentary continental breakfast in Beatty, Nevada, your first stop in the Mojave Desert.
See the impressive salt pan of Devil's Golf Course and the beautiful badlands landscape at Zabriskie Point. After enjoying some boxed lunch, continue to Ubehebe Crater. The crater is all that remains from a volcanic eruption so powerful that it destroyed the volcano itself. Then it's on to Furnace Creek Ranch Museum, where you can learn about the history of Death Valley.
Stop next at Badwater, the lowest spot in North America, at 282 feet (85 meters) below sea level, with a permanent spring-fed pool where you actually can walk on the salt flats. Your final stop on the tour is at Rhyolite Ghost Town, before concluding at your original departure point.
The pick up was on time, a great start to any trip. Jack was informative right from the start keeping us up to date. His choice of fill in music was good as well.

An early start for this one but with a small group 13 people in this case. Breakfast, lunch and unlimited water being provided. Rest stops and viewing stops were plentiful. Ralph our driver was a star his commentary was fabulous explaining everyones questions...a true font of knowledge. First stop was at the Haunted hotel just before Death Valley which was interesting as was the Badlands and Zabriski point. Fantastic landscape there and colours. Then onto the Valley. First stop being the sea level marker then down we went. The Devils Golf Course being the first real stop there...wow. On to the Salt flats at Badwater Basin once again a great stop. Next was Artists Pallette before our lunch stop at the golf course. The visitors centre had a shopping opportunity for our daughter. More stops on the way back included a ghost town and the sand dunes. A final stop being a gas station on the way back the Area 51 Alien Centre. If your not doing that trip get your goodies here. All in all the best trip of our tour thanks to Ralph and the frequent stops...great if you have kids no are we nearly there yet comments. Five stars!

I really enjoyed the Death Valley tour with Jack our guide and Mike our driver. Death Valley is such a unique area and I was mesmerised by its other-worldly scenery. I would recommend the Death Valley tour. The only down side was the lunch which needed some salad.
Review by: michellespiker, March 2018
Wow! This was the best trip. Our guide Ralph kept us entertained with so much local history and is obviously well read in many areas -- geology, geography, history. Our driver Joshua was friendly too and did a great job getting us to and from our destination. Although this was a long day, we didn't even notice. Death Valley is amazing. Since you really should go, I won't add any spoilers about this fantastic day trip!

Excellent day excursion from Las Vegas. We comfortably explored much of Death Valley with Ted, our tour guide. A special surprise was our visit to Rainbow Canyon, also known to pilots at Star Wars Canyon, where we were able to see at least five jets practice their runs through the canyon. It was so exciting to see and hear them fly by us. Our box breakfast and lunch was great and appreciated. We highly recommend this trip to learn about the largest national park in the U.S. below Alaska.

The trip is awesome and exceeds our expectation. Our tour guide, Jack, has the knack of getting everything in order while making everyone relaxed. Overall a very pleasant experience. I definitely recommend this tour. Thank you, Jack.

Our guide Jack ws AWESOME!
Review by: Carly S, February 2018
Tons of stops and a great way to see A LOT in 1 day. Driver/guide was super knowledgable about the area and its geography and history too.
Review by: Dennis R, February 2018
Highly disappointed. First, the advertisement on it was not followed. For instance an early breakfast in Beatty was not done and the box lunch was up to snuff. Worst, we didn't get to the Dunes nor the park service building for them. For me this was important because the Park office had one of the Passport stamps that I wanted for my book. I liked the Artistes Palette best. DWR

Death Valley was amazing, my favorite Nationalpark in the US. We were a group of three and our tour guide Ralf knew all about Death Valley and showed us a lot of great places. There were only a few tourists in january. I highly recommend this tour!
Review by: Xiaodong L, December 2017
The heater on the bus was not working. When I complained, the tour guide kept saying it will warm up later. Freezing cold for the first 3 hrs. My sons cold got worse._br/_ Took them a long time to collect people from different hotels. _br/_ To be fair, the tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. But he asked for a tip of 15-20 of the total price, while the other tour company asked 5-10 per person for a similar full day tour._br/_ I would not go with use this company again.

Review by: Rengills, November 2017
This was a very nice trip. We saw some beautiful sights. The best was the migrating tarantula crossing the street. Expect it to be a very long day when you go. Our driver, Ralph, was so knowledgeable and passionate about everything. He knew so much information and tried to tell us as much as he could. If you have a day to spend, this is a great trip.
Review by: anishvermani, November 2017
First of all thanks to our Driver & Guide forgot the name for making this trip unforgettable. He is so so informative that he keeps on telling us the things not only about Death Valley but other many things too. i think in our 13 hrs tour he didn't tell us or talk to us about anything for 3 hrs. _br/_ TAlk about Death Valley so really don't know why its called Death Valley but after visit, i think this is the most lively place on earth. Nature have shown us the power that how things can be created completed different within miles only. Both sides of the road have different kind of mountains, from high top to lew bottom its amazing and must must visit.
Review by: Julia I, November 2017
We did not like this trip at all. For sure it is better and cheaper to rent a car and visit Death Valley on your own. Then you can visit and spend in every place as much time as you want. My biggest disappointment is that we did not have a chance to see the Badwater and it is on the list! Yes you can make a photo with a sign Badwater Basin but you are only able to spend there 15 min which is not enough to get to the point where you can actually see the beauty of it. Furthermore it would be nice to have a stop at Alien shop or gas station which is on the way, just to take a photo.. It is not on the list but instead of having a stop 5min earlier in the middle of nowhere it would be nice to stop there.
Review by: janetschwartz186, November 2017
Perfect! Death Valley is a long drive from Las Vegas so we did not want to drive ourselves. We booked this tour and had a fabulous time. Our guide, Ralph, was friendly and kind. He was a fountain of knowledge and made sure we had ample stops for picture taking, exploring and to use the restrooms.
Review by: Laura, November 2017
My sister and I really enjoyed the Death Valley tour. Our driver, Jack, was really nice and funny. Through the day he managed to mix interesting facts with jokes. He also made the tour very personal and included the nationality and background of each passenger.

Went with a company called Casino Travel and their driver called Jack. This bloke made the day! Extremely knowledgeable about the area AND everywhere else on the planet! He has a wealth of information about all the places you visit and plenty of jokes to keep everyone smiling. If you get Jack as your driver you're in for a good day. Death valley is an amazing place and to visit it with a small group on a comfortable mini-bus is ideal. I'd recommend this trip.

Jack is the guide to go with.

Wonderful day. Beautiful scenery and very knowledgeable guide. Plenty of stops and time to enjoy all the different landscapes. Was amazed at the variety in the desert.

Was in Las Vegas for a wedding and had an extra day. Great opportunity to see Death Valley Great tour!!
Review by: vaishali.pavashe, June 2017
One of our best tours ever ... Most knowledgeable guide. A trained geologist with extensive reading, he could give detailed information about almost every question we could possibly have!! Could not have been better.
Review by: testerqueen, June 2017
This is a 400 mile comprehensive tour of Death Valley and the Mohave Desert. Although it was long 13 hours with other pickups, it was well worth the money and time. Our driver Ralph was great. He talked knowledgeably and pleasantly about everything the whole time, from flora and fauna to history and geography!
Review by: thedreamingcat, June 2017
This was great! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and the van ride was comfortable. The variety in the desert was neat as were the ghost towns and salt flats and badlands we saw on the way. I nice all day trip.
Review by: Peter, May 2017
Visiting Death Valley was one of the best trips ever....especially having Ralph as the tour guide! Ralph was not only professional tour guide with good humor, he was also extremely knowledgeable about the place and just about anything to do with Death Valley. It was very obvious that he knew his stuff all around. Thank you, Ralph, for helping me with meeting this goal and making my 50th birthday special...!
Review by: chickey1311, May 2017
Our Tour was fantastic! Ralph was an excellent tour guide. What he doesn't know about the desert or Las Vegas isn't worth mentioning! His tour was very informational and very entertaining. The breakfast and lunch box was delicious. We would certainly recommend Viator Tours, and especially Ralph as a a great way to see Death Valley. Thank you!
Review by: Jennifer T, April 2017
The whole trip pretty long, 14 hours. Two participants in our groups kept chatting and laughed loudly. We have difficulty hearing whenever the tour guide provides info during the journey. Wish that the tour guide had set guideline right from beginning of the tour.
Review by: Fran H, March 2017
It was a great trip we didn't see all on the list of spots but the spots we saw were wonderful, well worth the money. Guide Jack was wonderful and very knowledgeable.
Review by: mfblaw, March 2017
Ralph was an excellent guide. The tour gave adequate time at each stopping point. The sights at the park were otherworldly. Food was fine. No complaints.
Review by: Andrew W, March 2017
A fantastic trip which included many items of interest and a whole host of interesting information from our guide Ralph. I can strongly recommend this trip to anyone with an interest in finding out more about the history, geology and vegetation of the desert region of SW USA.
Review by: adrian m, March 2017
Fantastic trip - made all the more enjoyable by Ralph our guide for the day. If there is something that Ralph doesn't know about Death Valley or indeed Las Vegas itself then it can't be worth knowing - a true fountain of all knowledge and delivered very humorously. Death Valley has such an amazing set of varied landscapes from snow capped mountains, salt pans, rocky deserts and sand dunes. We only touched a small area of the national park, but it left me wanting more and I will return on a future trip and hopefully spend more time there. Although very different in landscape, this trip exceeded expectations and certainly matched the Grand Canyon experience with the added bonus that it is a short jaunt outside of LV. Highly recommend.
Review by: ron c, March 2017
we were not sure about this trip when we booked it. boy were we surprised. pickup was on time. bus was small and new. breakfast and lunch was in boxes but more then adequate. the scenery and views were fantastic. our driver ralph made this trip enjoyable. his knowledge was unbelievable. we recommend this trip and if possible request ralph as your guide.
Review by: Albert S, February 2017
Ralph, our tour guide, was all you could ask for; loaded with facts, figures on history, people, vegetation, visual changes. He has a voice that could be understood without any drama. Very considerate of travelers needs and interests.
Review by: Janice I, February 2017
Great trip. Our tour guide Ralph was an absolute fountain of knowledge. He made the trip so_br/_ Interesting. He answered all of our questions.
Review by: keith1bell, February 2017
Early pick up but no problem. Breakfast provided was ok. Plenty of stops and water was always available, which was very necessary in the park! Lots of information and some weird scenery, although all were interesting. Lunch taken at Furnace Creek was, as usual, fresh and tasty. After leaving the park we visited Rhyolite, which was not very exciting and I think could be better but that did not detract from our enjoyment of Death Valley and I would recommend this trip.

Review by: Jerry R, January 2017
Our guide, Jake, was terrific. I cannot say that he left any stone un-turned as far as what we could possible fit in a 11 hour tour. I had contemplated renting a car and going it alone, I am so glad I took my wife's advise.There wasn't a question he couldn't answer or a topic he did not have command of. I had written down my bucket list of items to see and we hit them all._br/_ Don't let the cost scare you. When you think about a 2 hour there and back as well as breakfast and lunch, it is well worth the money.
Review by: Judith J, January 2017
I've been to Death Valley many times but every time I've seen something new. Great tour. Ralph, our driver/guide was excellent.
Review by: Garrin H, January 2017
This was a wonderful day--far better than we expected. The activities were excellent, but the best part was the guide. He ranks as one the best we have ever had. He was knowledgeable, witty, and intelligent. The guide made the day. We have traveled all over the world and I repeat he was one of the best.
