My daughter Tina and I enjoyed the tour with Paul very much. His stories were entertaining and delivered with enthusiasm, excitement, and detail. Learning some of the history of Reno and buildings we viewed was the best part. He was prompt and walked at a relaxed pace. The weather was perfect for an evening walk. Thanks for a fun evening in Reno.

Matt was a great help in getting us acquainted with the bike rental and map directions. We asked about other bike areas that would provide an area to ride and he was more than helpful with the suggestions that he gave us. Very professional and polite.
