See Hoover Dam from Las Vegas in three efficient hours, with small-group transport, bridge views, Lake Mead, and an optional art stop.
“Excellent tour. Very knowledgeable and engaging guide Keith took care of us. First 2 stops seemed rushed and quite a hike on first stop optional but necessary for view”
Take a 3-hour Tomcar UTV tour through the Sonoran Desert near Phoenix, with rough trails, mountain views, desert lessons, and family-friendly seating.
“Great adventure! There were several spots along the way so everyone in our party had the opportunity to drive and look at landscape around us! Beautiful and exhilarating experience! Our tour guide Bo was awesome! We felt safe and he was very knowledgeable.”
Swim with wild manatees in Crystal River on a six-person tour with wetsuits, local guides, bottled water, and free photos and video.
“I would give this 6 stars if I could. Knowledgeable captain and swimming guides who are local to the area and truly care about the health and safety of the manatees. They were both respectful and caring to us and the animals. I can't tell you enough how much people like this-small business, local, and ethical- make a difference in the community. They aren't focused on cramming as many people in the boat as possible, but a small group (altogether there were 5 of us) and letting us experience a natural, uninvasive glimpse into the life of the manatees. Please if you are looking for a tour here, look no…”
See the Hollywood Sign, Mulholland Drive, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, and Hollywood Walk of Fame in a compact three-hour tour.

Explore Monument Valley with a Navajo guide, reaching restricted backcountry sites, arches, buttes, and live flute or drum music.
“It was little confusing on where to meet for pick up, one direction was hotel lobby, another was at entrance of hotel, and lastly, but correctly, the tour pick up lot. That last is correct, but the sign didn't match wording with directions from the app. GPS was spot on but no very helpful. Bobby, our guide/driver was awesome: in everyway; informative, answered every question, very informed and obviously studies to improve his knowledge is quite evident: 6 stars +++.”
Watch humpback whales, orcas, sea lions, and eagles near Juneau on a three-hour cruise with shuttle service and glacier views.
“Harv & Marvs was an amazing experience. We went at the end of September and were lucky enough to see about 60 whales! They always answered the phone when I called with questions, they arrived after a short wait at the pier in a nice bus, great boat, knowledgeable guide - customer service was great! This tour lasts 3 hours which allowed us the time to go a bit farther out to find the pod of whales!!”
See Seattle’s key sights in three hours, from Pike Place and Pioneer Square to the Fremont Troll, Ballard Locks, and Kerry Park.
“The bus picked us up 45 mins late and the company never picked up the phone when trying to find out why. The driver and guide was very enthusiastic and knew lots of very useful facts and figures.”
