What to expect
Named for being one of the most famous (and haunted) homes in downtown Reno, this modest structure holds big stories—from pioneer families to political figures. A true “if walls could talk” moment.
Nestled along the Truckee River, the Riverwalk District blends scenic beauty with rich history. Once home to mills, early settlements, and bustling commerce, it’s now a vibrant stretch of public art, bridges, historic buildings, and local charm—where the past flows right alongside the present.
West Street Market
Now a trendy food and shopping hub, this site was once home to a forgotten cemetery. We’ll peer into the past of this block—and the bodies that were quietly moved
Set in City Plaza, between the Truckee River and Reno City Hall, the BELIEVE sign is one of the city’s most photographed landmarks. Originally crafted for Burning Man, it now stands as a symbol of Reno’s creative soul—and makes for the *perfect tour photo op *
Reno Arch
No Reno visit is complete without seeing the world-famous arch. First installed in 1926 to celebrate a fair, it became a permanent icon of the “Biggest Little City in the World.” *Complimentary photo under the Arch*
See the spot where Reno began, the historic and iconic Virginia Street Bridge. This world famous crossing saw thousands of divorcees toss their rings into the Truckee River below..
Washoe County Courthouse
Step into the epicenter of Reno’s global fame. This courthouse was the final stop for thousands seeking a “quickie divorce.” Hollywood starlets, socialites, and scandal-makers all walked these steps.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
