My family and I had the good fortune to land Bobby as our tour guide for the day. From the moment he picked us up, he was warm and welcoming and made us feel comfortable and at ease the entire day. Bobby played trivia with us, made funny jokes and kept everyone in the van engaged and entertained! He also shared so much history and cool information as we journeyed from destination to destination! He even provided two bonus stops which was super unexpected and cool! He also happily took pictures for us at the sites too which was so nice. All in all, Bobby was an amazing tour guide and would highly recommend him and MaxTour for a professional, and comfortable experience while making a once in a lifetime type of memory!

We booked a three-day tour because we found great reviews from previous guests. Well, it lived up to and exceeded our expectations. We were so lucky to have Jim as our tour guide and driver. We loved the way everything was organized, and his sense of humor was on point (the whole group had many giggles). Apart from that, the viewpoints, parks, and canyons were breathtaking. Definitely recommended.

Our MaxTours experience was absolutely phenomenal. Our tour guide, Bobby, was top-notch. He provided so many details and information throughout the trip. He was courteous, funny and never rushed any of us. He was super sweet and very patient. I would highly recommend the tours. We made all of our stops and even managed to get a bonus stop. If you want a great tour experience, you must take the MaxTours. Make sure you request Bobby. You won’t regret it. He’s amazing!!!!!

We had an amazing time on our day tour with MaxTour. I can’t recommend them enough. Our guide, Justin Bartz went out of his way to get us the best pictures throughout the day and give us information about the different areas we drove through. The van was very comfortable and there were plenty of snacks and drinks and our chicken sandwiches for lunch were so good. Justin also gave us a list of other fun things to do while in Las Vegas. We would definitely do it again!

MaxTour did it again with outstanding service! Brian provided an incredible, personable Death Valley National Park tour! Hotel pickup was timely and quick. He ensured a relaxed pace at each stop and provided insightful history. We were also well-supplied with plenty of water and snacks throughout the long day. This consistently excellent third time experience highlights top-tier service! Maddy
