We really enjoyed the tour. Our guide Bin was very friendly, courteous and funny. He contacted us beforehand to give us more information for the next day, so we had the opportunity to ask questions. The transport went smoothly, there were small snacks and enough water. The individual points of the tour are definitely an experience. Bin gave us a lot of information and always told us where we were going next. The small group of 14 people made the day very pleasant. The tour is worth it. I would recommend it.

variety in and see things in Death valley. Plus Gudien Bin. He was super flexible and a super guide. I could not wish for a better guide. Known everywhere and had many good stories and tales about the place. Also, because it was a day you get picked up by the bus in Las Vegas and the bus return to the same place, which was really nice.

The tour took in the best of Death Valley with a really interesting variety of stops. The guide was both informative and very well organised.
