Bob at Desert Wonders was amazing. We were able to organize a private trip to Oatman easily and had so much fun. His knowledge of the area and the people in Oatman was exceptional. He even introduced us to his friends in the stores. We appreciated Bob driving us around all day, and even catering to a quick stop at Gilligan's, just to check it out 🙂 Thanks Bob for a great day, and we look forward to booking many more adventures with you soon.

Great trip to Oatman. We saw the donkeys, mined for gems, shot guns and did some antiquing. There was a staged gun fight in the street. Very nice historic town.

We really enjoyed the burros, the neat shops and the friendly people at Oatman Mining Village. Our tour guide, Mikel, ensured we had plenty of time to visit this little town. I wished there was another restaurant to eat lunch but we found a cute hot dog stand with homemade lemonade. It was a nice break from the Las Vegas Strip to go on this trip. I’ve been booking tours with Viator for a few years and have always been pleased with the tour guides and the places visited.

Joy was our driver and guide. She was friendly and informative. She lives the area so it was nice to have a local flavor added to our tour. Lots of beautiful views of the desert and mountajns. We never felt rushed on the tour. We drove in a mini van with lots of bottled water available. Small group tours are a great way to explore and Desert Wonder Tours was an excellent adventure.

Our tour guide, Brandon, gave us a full day of wonderful scenery and stories. Oatman is an interesting little town with lots to see. We enjoyed having the time to explore a couple of rock shops on our way to Kingman. Brandon showed us the town before we visited the museum which is very interesting. We highly recommend this tour.
