Oatman Mining Village/Museums & Scenic RT66 Experience Small Grp

Ed was a wonderful driver and had a lot of knowledge of the area.very personable there was only 2 of us but we had a lot of fun we even had Ed laughing

In early October, my husband and I were escorted by Brandon on a tour of absolute enjoyment, just the 3 of us. We motored to Kingman and visited the Route 66 and Electric Vehicle Museum, eventually moving on to Oatman while enjoying what the historic Routh 66 had to offer along the way. We listened to his incredible knowledge about the mining camps, Route 66, the Black Mountains and untold amounts of information Brandon had stored in his mind. Such a remarkable man that has experienced so much of this beautiful area and was willing to share things we never would've known. Brandon is a very knowledgeable environmentalist and made this day one we will never forget. We especially enjoyed Oatman with the fabled free-roaming burros, which Brandon knew each individual burro and called them by their name. The historical hotel we dined at in Oatman at lunchtime was incredible! Clark Gable and Carol Lombard loved to hang out here and play poker, away from the publicity. You mustn't miss this place...the food was terrific, however the interior of this hotel/museum was a sight to behold! There's over a half million dollar bills attached to every available inch of space on the walls, ceilings, steps, absolutely everywhere...signed by visitors that have also left their own signed dollar bill behind! There's a story here about this tradition, concerning how it started with the early miners that begs to tell. You should call Brandon to take you there to learn the story! Call Desert Wonder Adventures, LLC if you want to enjoy a wonderful experience. Bob Walton is the owner, and he is a dream to work with in planning your tours. He has superb employees working for him that give it their all to make your tour the best experience possible. In fact, we made a return trip in early November to experience another fantastic tour with employee Eddie. We certainly enjoyed the west rim of the Grand Canyon and Joshua Tree Forest with Eddie this time! A big THANK YOU to Desert Wonder Adventures. We'll be back again...looking forward to it!

Go here, enjoy and have a great time in an old town with burros and lots of people enjoying the atmosphere. The drive from Laughlin was fun and scenic.

The Oatman Mining was so good. So many stores and donkeys roaming free, The donkeys are so cute. We got caught in a flash flood the road was washed away. The driver kept us informed on when we could leave the area and head back to Laughlin. On the way back the driver took his time. He was wonderful and so was Oatman.

Wil our tour guide and driver was very knowledgeable and was really fun and friendly. He made the trip better, stopped at interesting sites and could tell you about everything along our route.

What a delightful experience! Sarge was our guide and he was fun to be with careful driving and allowed my fear of heights change the itinerary so we had more time in Oatman. I would NOT have wanted to find Oatman by myself nor parking although our day was pretty quiet I was told. We enjoyed burro walking the streets, even got a safe picture with my husband, found fun Christmas gifts to take back home and store for the holiday. The Saloon was closed for the day post big motorcycle's annual event...probably had to go food shopping, but we found another down the street and they were love and we were musically entertained. The gun fight was fun and all for a good cause.

Bonkers. This was an off-the-beaten-path stop but 100% worth it, especially if you love animals. It’s not your typical tourist attraction (basically you just interact with the burros as you wander around the Old West town. The shops sell approved food to give them). About 20 burros hang out in town, but if you drive 5 minutes past the townsite you see even more in the hills.

We had a wonderful experience. Got picked up at our hotel on time. Brennon was our guide, super nice and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour.

The burros are very friendly and you can buy a bag of food for them for just one dollar. They also live out of town on the road going into Oatman and you can feed them there too. The Oatman Hotel has a very nice restaurant, ice cream shop and bar. Everyone is very very friendly and you will find a lot of really great shops in town. Plan on spending about two hours there.

We loved this trip! I went with my sister and it turned out to be only us on the tour. Our guy Brandon was great fun and full of information about the places we visited. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Kingman and Oatman we great places to visit and it nice break from the Las Vegas Strip
