Tour guide was very professional, even in the face of our crude sense of humor. He was helpful, friendly, and took some great pics.

We all had a wonderful time today exploring Valley of Fire. Such a beautiful place and not far from Vegas. Our guide Preston was very friendly and knows a lot about the area. We had a blast! Really worth the trip. We highly recommend it.
