Itinéraire
Votre journée commence par une route panoramique à travers le désert du Nevada jusqu'à Nelson Ghost Town, une colonie minière d'or autrefois en plein essor située dans le paysage accidenté d'Eldorado Canyon. Passez environ une heure à explorer à un rythme détendu, en marchant parmi des bâtiments historiques bien préservés, des véhicules anciens et de vieux équipements miniers qui offrent un aperçu du passé Far West de la région. Cette ville fantôme atmosphérique est particulièrement populaire auprès des photographes et des passionnés d'histoire. Les clients qui le souhaitent peuvent également visiter la mine Techatticup pour une visite guidée souterraine, où des histoires de la vie minière et de l’histoire frontalière donnent vie au passé de la ville.
En quittant Nelson, voyagez vers le sud en Arizona et rejoignez un tronçon pittoresque de l'emblématique Route 66, où les paysages désertiques et les vues classiques sur les bords de route capturent l'esprit du road trip américain. Continuez vers Oatman, une ville minière historique située dans les montagnes Noires et surtout connue pour ses sympathiques burros sauvages — descendants des ânes autrefois utilisés par les mineurs. Profitez de 90 minutes de temps libre pour explorer à un rythme détendu. Promenez-vous sur les trottoirs en bois, voyez les burros errer dans la ville, parcourez les boutiques de souvenirs, et prenez le déjeuner ou des collations si vous le souhaitez. Avec son charme Old West et son atmosphère décontractée, Oatman offre l'un des arrêts les plus mémorables le long de la Route 66 sans se sentir pressé.
Après Oatman, continuez jusqu'à Kingman, l'une des villes les plus importantes le long de la Route 66 historique. Visitez le musée Arizona Route 66, situé à l'intérieur du Powerhouse Visitor Center restauré, pour un regard captivant sur l'histoire et l'impact culturel de la route. Passez environ 30 à 45 minutes à explorer des expositions qui présentent des voitures classiques, des panneaux de signalisation anciens et des photographies historiques, offrant un aperçu nostalgique de l'âge d'or des Voyages routiers en Amérique. Cet arrêt fournit un contexte et une narration qui complètent la boucle de l'expérience Route 66.
À quelques pas du musée, faites un bref arrêt au Locomotive Park pour voir l'impressionnante machine à vapeur Santa Fe n° 3759, une locomotive entièrement restaurée datant des années 1940 exposée au public. Passez environ 15 à 20 minutes à vous rapprocher de ce morceau emblématique de l'histoire du chemin de fer, avec du temps pour des photos et un examen plus approfondi des détails du moteur. Cet arrêt extérieur facile ajoute une touche mémorable à l'expérience Route 66 sans prolonger la journée.

We did a road trip from Vegas with 3 of my friends last summer and made sure to drive along Route 66. Honestly, pictures don't do justice to how cute and nostalgic the whole vibe is! Seeing all the vintage neon signs, retro diners, and classic cars in person was so much better than just looking at photos online.
It sounds like Route 66 was a memorable part of your road trip. The vintage signs, classic cars, old diners, and nostalgic atmosphere are truly special to experience in person. We are glad you and your friends had the opportunity to enjoy this iconic piece of American history. Thank you for sharing your experience!
The company that host the Route 66, Oatman, Nelson Ghost Town SmalGroup Tour from Las Vegas cancelled both of my tours saying they did not have enough people to the tours on the days I had scheduled and paid for. They have refunded one of my tours but have NOT REFUNDED THE SECOND ONE. I will be trying to book these tours at a later day hopefully with a different company.
We’re sorry that both tours had to be canceled because the minimum number of participants was not reached. We understand how disappointing this was, especially after planning and paying in advance. Both bookings have been fully refunded from our side. Depending on the booking platform and your bank, the second refund may take several business days to appear on your account. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you’re able to enjoy these destinations on a future visit.
I would strongly advise others not to book this tour. I was given a pickup time, but no one ever came to pick me up, and an entire day of my time was wasted. Two days before the tour, I received a message saying that the trip might be canceled because there were not enough participants. I told them that I completely understood. They then reassured me not to worry and said they would try to find more people so the tour could still go ahead. On the morning of the tour, I received another message confirming that the trip was proceeding as scheduled and reminding me to be ready on time. I trusted that information, canceled a very busy workday with many patients, and waited outside my house for pickup. After the scheduled pickup time had already passed, I called to ask what was happening. Only then was I informed that the tour had been canceled. This is absolutely not a communication issue. I have clear proof that I repeatedly contacted them, yet no one responded. This is completely unacceptable. I have suffered significant losses because of this situation,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this caused. We had informed you that the tour did not yet have the minimum number of participants required to operate. Unfortunately, an automatic email was later sent stating that the tour was proceeding, which understandably made you believe the booking had been confirmed. However, regardless of the automated message, we should have contacted you directly and clearly confirmed the cancellation before the scheduled pickup time. We take responsibility for that communication failure and understand the impact it had on your workday and schedule. This was not the level of service we aim to provide, and we are reviewing our procedures to prevent a similar situation from happening again.
Great Tour. Great tour Guide. This tour was very good but because of what happend with our tour to area 51, I would not want to book a tour again through Viator. Disappointed with Viator, if you have a problem you can not talk to them. Very bad business
We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with your guide. We’re sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with your separate Area 51 booking and Viator’s customer service. As an independent tour operator, we do not control Viator’s support process, but we completely understand your frustration. We truly appreciate your positive comments about our tour and team.
The tour was good. Wish we had a little more time at Oatman. I really enjoyed the whole trip. The tour guide really tied everything together.

The Route 66 Ghost Town tour was everything and then some. Matthew, our Forventura guide was quite pleasant and extremely knowledgeable on history of the Nelson and Oatman Mines. The ride along Route 66 to Kingman, AZ was quite an experience. He was very accommodating to everyone in our group making necessary and scenic stops along the way. If you’ve already visited the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and the Vegas strip, I highly recommend this tour.
