Route 66, Oatman, Nelson Ghost Town Tour met kleine groep vanuit LasVegas
Beschrijving
Ontdek de historische Route 66, Oatman, Kingman en Nelson Ghost Town tijdens een tour met een kleine groep vanuit Las Vegas. Reis comfortabel in een moderne SUV, minivan of bestelwagen, met voldoende tijd in Oatman om de beroemde wilde burros te zien, de klassieke Route 66-haltes te verkennen en door een van de meest authentieke spooksteden van Nevada te wandelen. Deze dagvullende ervaring is ideaal voor reizigers die schilderachtige woestijnlandschappen, geschiedenis en ontspannen tempo willen - zonder grote bussen of gehaaste haltes. Pick-up en drop-off van geselecteerde hotels in Las Vegas zijn inbegrepen, samen met een deskundige lokale Gids die het rijden, navigatie en timing regelt, zodat u stressvrij van de reis kunt genieten. Met kleine groepen en zorgvuldig geplande stops biedt deze tour een meer persoonlijke en meeslepende manier om het zuidwesten buiten de Strip te ervaren.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Je dag begint met een schilderachtige rit door de Nevada woestijn naar Nelson Ghost Town, een ooit bloeiende goudmijnnederzetting in het ruige landschap van Eldorado Canyon. Breng ongeveer een uur door met het verkennen in een ontspannen tempo, wandelen tussen goed bewaard gebleven historische gebouwen, vintage voertuigen en oude mijnbouwapparatuur die een kijkje bieden in het Wilde Westen verleden van het gebied. Deze sfeervolle spookstad is vooral populair bij fotografen en geschiedenisliefhebbers. Gasten die dat wensen, kunnen ook optioneel de Techatticup Mine bezoeken voor een ondergrondse rondleiding, waar verhalen over het mijnleven en de grensgeschiedenis het verleden van de stad tot leven brengen.
Vanuit Nelson reis je zuidwaarts Arizona in en sluit je je aan bij een schilderachtig stuk van de iconische Route 66, waar woestijnlandschappen en klassieke uitzichten langs de weg de geest van de Amerikaanse roadtrip vastleggen. Ga verder naar Oatman, een historische mijnstad in de Black Mountains en vooral bekend om zijn vriendelijke wilde burros — afstammelingen van de ezels die ooit door mijnwerkers werden gebruikt. Geniet van maximaal 90 minuten vrije tijd om in een ontspannen tempo te verkennen. Wandel over de houten trottoirs, zie de burro's door de stad zwerven, blader door souvenirwinkels en pak lunch of snacks als je dat wilt. Met zijn Old West charme en relaxte sfeer, biedt Oatman een van de meest memorabele haltes langs Route 66 zonder zich gehaast te voelen.
Na Oatman rijdt u verder naar Kingman, een van de belangrijkste steden langs de historische Route 66. Bezoek het Arizona Route 66 Museum, gelegen in het gerestaureerde Powerhouse Visitor Center, voor een boeiende blik op de geschiedenis en culturele impact van de weg. Breng ongeveer 30-45 minuten door met het verkennen van tentoonstellingen die klassieke auto's, vintage verkeersborden en historische foto's tonen, en een nostalgisch kijkje bieden in de gouden eeuw van Amerika's road Reizen. Deze stop biedt context en storytelling die de Route 66-ervaring rond maakt.
Op een steenworp afstand van het museum, maak een korte stop bij Locomotive Park om de indrukwekkende Santa Fe Steam Engine nr. 3759 te zien, een volledig gerestaureerde locomotief uit het 1940-tijdperk die in het openbaar te zien is. Breng ongeveer 15-20 minuten door met het van dichtbij bekijken van dit iconische stukje spoorweggeschiedenis, met tijd voor foto's en een nadere blik op de details van de motor. Deze gemakkelijke, outdoor stop voegt een memorabel tintje toe aan de Route 66 ervaring zonder de dag te verlengen.

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 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.
