    As a local, this was an amazing find! I was simply looking online for fun stuff to do over the…read moreholiday break and found Reno Food Tours. We met our tour guide, Fanci, at Cafe Whitney at 11am. She was great and gave us some interesting facts about the Whitney Peak Hotel building while we had delicious ahi tuna tacos with a wonton shell. From there we walked over to Crafted Palette. We had not known about this place and what a hidden gem. We had an amazing wellington pie and a cherry pie. Crafted Palette features local artists and offers sip and paint classes. From there we went to Wild River Grille where we had amazing bruschetta and pork belly. The GM also gave us a great tour of the building and some of the history behind the restaurant and the apartments above, once a hotel (Marilyn Monroe was a guest while filming The Misfits!) We next journeyed to Papa What's Cooking for red beans and rice, with a side of cornbread. Both excellent. Finally, we wrapped up the day at Sierra Bakery and Creamery, where the owner creates all the ice cream recipes himself and we were able to chat with him. Great guy and great ice cream and treats. My friend wound up buying a quart to take home. Reno Food Tours is a great way to spend an afternoon. Our guide, Fanci, was great and gave us lots of fun facts about various buildings and some historical information and lore surrounding the biggest little city. The restaurant stops are the tour do change up every so often so we definitely decided we would go again. Highly recommend as a fun way to enjoy the city of Reno.

    Went to an event and showed up on time. Nobody was present, there was no notice of cancellation,…read moreand no chance to leave any feedback. There is no number to call off their website. I have emailed confirmations too! Given the other reviews are all 5 years ago or more, I suspect the organization has gone zombie. If you can't get a person on the phone I'd say don't touch it with a barge pole!

    Mercer Caverns - Classic Zortar, fortune telling automaton

    We visited Mercer Caverns in Murphys for my daughter's 24th birthday and it turned out to be a…read morereally unique experience. We arrived around 10:30 AM and were able to join the 11:00 tour with no problem. The tour lasted about 50 minutes, which felt like the perfect amount of time. Our guide had a bit of a dry sense of humor, but was knowledgeable and kept the group moving at a good pace. The caverns themselves were impressive -- it's amazing to see such a beautiful natural space that has been left mostly undisturbed for thousands of years. The formations are stunning and unlike anything you see above ground. A couple things to be aware of: some of the stairs are steep and can be wet, so you definitely need to watch your footing. There are also a few spots where you have to duck your head. It's not difficult, but you do need to be mindful as you go. The temperature inside stays cool year-round (around the mid-50s), which is nice on a warm day but you may want a light jacket. The entire tour is guided, and you descend about 160 feet underground via metal stairways. It feels adventurous without being overwhelming. Overall, it was a neat, memorable stop and a fun way to celebrate a birthday. If you're in the Murphys area and looking for something different to do, this is definitely worth checking out.

He charged a pinch of gold for admission and probably made way more money from the caves than he would have if there was gold. Parking lot is small so its best to get there early, they have a set amount of people that can go on each tour and they do sell out. The giftshop is easy to burn some time at and if you are a fan of classic boardwalk fortune telling automatons, there is a Zoltar set up inside. I loved this cavern, there are steep wooden stairs you'll be scrambling on and low hanging rocks, you feel very intimate with the cave and even if it's hot outside, it's always nice and cool underground. Our tour guide was amazing and I loved hearing the stories as we descended. The most interesting anecdote was how they used to conduct tours by holding a wooden plank with a candle on it in their mouths. It's a very enjoyable family adventure though you may have to help young children up and down some of the stairs.
