Small Group Pahrump Wine Tasting with Death Valley Sightseeing and Stargazing

Firstly, Death Valley is amazing and a must see to appreciate the size and scope of the place. The tour we booked however was not quite what it was pitched as... Tony our tour guide was very pleasant and a good driver. However, being Albanian and having only lived in Las Vegas for 3 months, his knowledge of the area and it's history was limited at best. The wine tasting was just a trip to a winery (no tour of the vineyard or the cellars/wine-making facility, no talk about the history or wines themselves) and something we realised from a sign in the shop, was a free, sample testing of 3 of the winery's wines in their front of house shop (something which was offered complimentarily to anyone who walked through their doors). The star-gazing was also not as published. There was far too much light pollution from the nearby towns to achieve this. The trip is not "VIP" in any way either. Just a very standard (but acceptable) minibus....... The major problem I have with this tour is that it just isn't what is in the headline. If it said this is a trip to Death Valley and you'll see some of the sights & on the way we will stop at a winery which offers some complimentary tasting and the opportunity to buy some wine and at the end of the day you'll see the sunset over Death Valley and dropped the VIP claim then you would know exactly what you were getting and could decide if the £217 per person (there were 4 of us) represented good value. I would suggest it was over priced for what you actually got. But Death Valley is an amazing place!
