Seeing the gates for area 51 and the tour guide Clayton was great. Seeing the highway sign and black mail box.
Driving on the lake bed was really cool too.

Fantastic day out away from the Strip travelling through the Mojave desert to Area 51. Clayton our tour guide was superb and his conversation through the day was informative and funny with loads of information at hand making the day that little bit special. There are plenty of picture opportunities and we felt well looked therefore we would highly recommend this trip.
Awesome day trip!

Not happy tour

It was disappointing as we thought it was boring and not really much to see. The driver was good and he was very good at what he does but we thought we would see more of area 51
Response from Host , May 2022
Hi Pat,
Thank you for joining us on the Area 51 Tour. I'm not sure what you expected to see, the mystery of the place is a big part of the story. If we drove you into Area 51 past the guards at the gate we'd all still be in jail so getting to that point is pretty cool. We call those guys the Men in Black. The Little A'le Inn for lunch, the Mutant Joshua Tree Forest, the Black Mailbox, Alien Research Center, The Extraterrestrial Highway and the Mysterious Dry Lake are all highlights that most folks really enjoy. Regardless, next time you are in town please contact me personally and I'll do something special for you.
Very best regards,
Will Tryon - VP/Owner
Fun and informative

Even better than I hoped for and very interesting. We got to see two of the gates into a place the government, up entil recently said does not exist. Each stop we learned more and lunch at the Little'A'Le'Inn was top notch.
Response from Host , May 2022
Hi Mark,
Thanks for joining us on the Area 51 Tour, it is truly a blast! The first time I explored the idea of producing an Area 51 Tour, 23 years ago, and checked out the famous locations, OMG, I couldn't wait to get it launched. I still feel the same way. So Cool that you did it!

Dave was an amazing guide with so much knowledge of the history of Area 51 and the top secret aircraft testing. Such unique experiences like getting the horn at one of the gates, to hearing a sonic boom and seeing an antelope. Thank so much for a great time!

Really great tour, our driver Dennis was lovely throughout the whole trip. He was so knowledgeable about everything on the tour and was so entertaining, if i was doing more tours I'd nearly ask if he was the tour instructor. Dennis really made it so u didn't feel the time going by and was so helpful taking pictures and waiting on everyone when we stopped l, never rushing us.

Informative tour. Learned a lot from our tour guide Eli. So glad that I joined the tour that I might not be able to find/drive to those places on my own.
Cool experience

This was a surprise gift for my husbands 50th birthday! Our tour guide Clayton was extremely knowledgeable and full of great information. Even though this was more for my husband, I found myself very engaged in all of the information, cool stops throughout the tour broke up the very long day. Would highly recommend
Response from Host , Oct 2021
Hi Dawn,
Thank you for your great review and so glad you surprised your husband with this particular tour. He must be an enthusiast. The Area 51 Tour brings all the information together that we have heard and seen over the years, with a big "wow", it's real! You just made my day! I will post this for Clayton to see.
Very best regards,

Clayton was a great tour guide, well prepared with tons of ice cold water and lots to tell us about Area 51 & Vegas overall. We took plenty of bathroom breaks & he was very considerate of everyone. He was born to be a guide, overall it was truly an experience!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
