Las Vegas Walking Tours

We booked this tour very last minute as in two hours before it started and were welcomed along. We loved it. We loved learning the history of Vegas and about the revitalization of downtown since this is where we were staying (and how this happened). We were taken into casinos we otherwise wouldn't have stopped in. Did you know there is an award winning pool in the golden nugget...we didn't. The two hours flew by and our tour guide offered suggestions for local eats. I recommend this tour if you want a bit of a history lesson on how Vegas came to be.

Kelly was great! He knows Vegas history and downtown backwards and forwards. We loved the historical pictures he showed along the way so we could see the changes that have happened. He hooked us up with great eating ideas and a fresh look at Downtown. We HIGHLY recommend this walking tour! Add the Pawn Shop to your ticket, great things to learn on the way there.

Very pleased I did this as my first stop in Las Vegas after the aiport! I got set up with a bunch of great recommendations for my stay on top of coupons that I used to enhance my vacation! Our tour guide was wonderful! Funny, and a plethora of information. He was the turning point after a long shitty flight, a sketchy walk through a bad neighborhood, and a welcoming of debauchery and drunks plus homeless drug addicts, I was ready to leave and go back to Chicago. At least I know how to handle ours...

Fabulous Downtown Las Vegas historical tour. Kelly Fairchild does an awesome job of guiding this easy-going tour. The revitalization of Downtown and Fremont Street Corridor is spectacular. Kudos to Tony Hsieh ( who died last month) for having the foresight and passion to do something that will benefit so many. I will definitely spend more time here! Terrific!

This tour far exceeded our expectations. Our guide was super knowledgeable (and obviously very passionate) about downtown Las Vegas history, and it showed in his delivery. He had a binder of "then and now" photos, which really highlighted how much Vegas has changed over the years. The tour started at the Plaza Hotel, which is where the Vegas we know today started. As we strolled down Fremont St, he told stories of significant events in Vegas history, and pointed out the key buildings and landmarks. We also explored the area around Fremont St, and he told stories of the people who revitalized the downtown area, and what their vision was able to accomplish. Well worth the money and time.

If you really would like to know the history of Las Vegas and where it all started then this is the tour for you. Also if you wonder whats the whole hoopla about Downtown and Fremont Street, why is it called Old vegas and want to know of some great places to eat and hangout beyond the strip. Then this tour is for you.We had been to the Fremont street before, but its easy to miss its specialties. Cause you do not know what you do not know. Thus to really know and distinguish yourself from your cousin, friend, a jealous colleague, exes, grandparents - whoever has been to Vegas before and has a million fun stories - this is your chance to arm yourself with some great insider information that you can use it at your own leisure or at a party. Infact, one tidbit I learnt even startled another tour guide on a different tour.The tour begins on Fremont Street in front of the Plaza casino, you are given walkie-talkies plugged into an earphone with volume control. You can hear Kelly all the time, hands free to take pictures etc. The tour itself is really nice. At the end of the tour, he gives out coupons and his recommended restaurants. Also a couple of other places we mentioned we were planning to visit, he was nice enough to give us a coupon for this.Also if you want to finish your steps quota of the day - believe we did about 3-4000 steps, It is a good option.Only con I had was I did not knew it was part of the Go pass and that way could have saved some money on this tour. So checkout the Go pass as well.

Great tour! Kelly was engaging, informative and full of passion for sharing Vegas history. Learned so much. Only wish we had done the tour earlier in our trip. 100% recommend!

Excellent tour all around ! From the portable sanitized headsets and party gift of Las Vegas suggestions Kelly, was a fantastic guide. He was organized,, well spoken, dealt with issues quickly and professionally and he knew his script so well! Highly recommend I'd actually like to stay downtown now!

I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! We booked the tour as part of a Christmas trip to Vegas, and it ended up being one of my favorite things of the entire trip. Kelly is a phenomenal guide who is highly knowledgeable and entertaining. The history of Las Vegas and the small details he includes are not to be missed, especially if you're a history buff, which I am. The stops at the historic casinos, the photos of "Old Vegas", and the stories of how downtown has made a comeback are well worth your time. His restaurant recommendations are an added bonus! (See picture) The final stop at the Container Park and the highlights of the downtown revitalization are also a great tie in to the old glory days of Fremont Street and Glitter Gulch. Best two hours you'll spend downtown!

Wherever I travel I make it a point to look for a walking tour. I love learning about the stories and factoids at the literal ground level. Usually tours like this aren't hard to find...except in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is home to so many stories but it's also home to constant innovation. It's obsessed with the new. The fact that this tour exists shouldn't be taken for granted - it should be sought and enjoyed by anyone who wants to learn where this city started and how it became the destination it is today. It's literally one of the only ones of its kind and I am so thankful I got to take it! If you're looking for vapid shops or celebrity restaurants stay on the strip. If you're looking for the lore behind the lights - you're in the right place! Please note: You will be walking! Wear good shoes. Also - it's a tad noisy (however the guide uses a mic/headset system to combat this). Have fun!
