5 Stars all across the board!! From communications regarding your booking to the pick-up/drop off, River Dogz was top notch!! Our tour guide was Michelle and she was amazing! Very knowledgeable of the land and very fun to hangout with! She even took pics of our group to capture moments that we couldn't while kayaking!! Whenever we're back in Vegas, we will be booking this excursion again!! Tell a friend to tell a friend, River Dogz are the tour to book in Vegas! They also provided water, snacks, (healthy ones and regular chips, etc)! They thought of everything!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was the perfect experience for me. We were picked up on time in a very comfy van. The guide gave us a great history of where we were driving. We were set up with boats and life jackets and were calmly explained all the things we would need to know. It was a calm and beautiful day on the water and the guide was friendly and patient. It really was the perfect day made even better by the company that brought us out.
