Why Use Las Vegas Custom Tour Guide

Enjoy the beauty of the southwest, and you see something interesting that is not in the plan, no problem, you can go see it. Art is completely flexible. This tour is all about you and what you want to do. There is constant flexibility in the stops and destinations.
Tours are perfect for all age groups. Art specializes in creating tours for senior citizens. This is the time of your life where you have the time to travel and enjoy life. Many of the places to see can be seen from the car, a look out point or after a short walk on a flat path. Art guides your tour at the pace you desire. You stop to explore, eat or rest when you want to. Each tour is custom for each traveler.
To create your multi-day tour, Art will need to know your interests, your desires and your expectations. Are you interested in sightseeing, photography, history, geology or museums?

Up at 6:30 for our trips to Zion and Bryce canyons. Our tour guide Art Chesmore. Thoroughly recommended if you fancy any tours around the States. Art picked us up at 7:30, quick stop at Starbucks (no queue!) next to the hire car office .
Art was brilliant again, with his knowledge of, well everything! Here's to the next tour!

Zea and I had the pleasure of exploring the Las Vegas area with you and I wanted to say thanks for such an enjoyable trip. Thinking back to the perfect weather a week ago, things couldn't be more different as I have the afternoon off from excavating because of wet, blowing snow. Learning about the prehistoric people of Nevada and seeing their artifacts was a personal highlight of the tour and I appreciate how you let us explore the Lost City Museum at our leisure. What a hidden gem that place is. I've attached a few photographs from our tour and please feel free to use them for advertising purposes if you wish. Thanks again for the terrific day.
