    We added this stop to our itinerary after seeing the reviews, but as we neared the area and thought…read morefor sure we had taken a wrong turn, my husband began looking at the actual website which states "Visitors to Molossia must not come unannounced. This is our home..." That made me feel awkward and very uncomfortable. We were unable to schedule a tour prior to coming as the site also said they were closed for tours during the time of our trip. Since we arrived at the location just after seeing the above quoted statement, we only did a quick drive by. This is really out in the middle of nowhere and what seemed like it was going to be a quirky little stop got feeling odd very quickly. This is a good reminder to do as much research as possible on everything.

During our recent road trip to Reno NV we had a chance to check out this self-proclaimed micronation located about 30 miles east of Carson City. It even has its own currency (printed on poker chips), a customs office, and president. We were excited to check it out until we saw the sign that visits are during scheduled tours only so we were not able to enter Molossia when we arrived LoL! I took photos of what I could see from the outside. Tours are scheduled monthly during Tourist Season from April 15th to October 15th. Do not come unannounced and plan to stay only an hour or two. These were all stated on a sign outside along with brief Facts about Molossia. We will try to revisit again next year and book a tour so we can meet the President and the First Lady of Molossia. We will remember to bring our passports too. ツ Review #3553

    Chollar Mine Tour - A Glimpse into the Golden Age of Virginia City…read more Recommended by locals, I made my way to the Chollar Mine, once the 5th largest mine during the 19th-century Gold Rush era. In its prime, it yielded an overwhelming amount of gold--worth millions of dollars then and easily billions in today's value. Scattered across the grounds are authentic mining tools, giving visitors a sense of the equipment used back in the day. One highlight was the rock smasher, which the staff explained in detail. From the start, John and Gary gave me a warm welcome and patiently answered all my questions. Before we entered the mine, Gary provided a fascinating introduction to its history and operations--explaining how miners worked in 8-hour shifts, the intense conditions they faced underground, and how they coped with the heat from the geothermal groundwater. Equipped with a helmet, I followed the narrow tunnels where the ceiling is low enough to give you a bump if you're not careful. Along the old rail tracks used for transporting minerals, Gary demonstrated the rope-and-pulley system, drilling tools, and even how miners once relied on rats and candles to test air quality inside the mine. He also pointed out the split line in the rock that marked different mining outputs, giving a vivid sense of how geologists identified the veins. To make the experience more tactile, he even handed me some clay samples from the mine, so I could literally feel the earth that once hid so much gold. Unfortunately, visitors cannot go as deep into the mine as I had hoped--I wanted to experience the underground heat myself--but for safety reasons, the tour is limited. The cave can be slippery, and you'll often need to bend down to avoid injury. After the tour, Gary enthusiastically offered to take photos for guests, adding a personal touch to the visit. Beyond the tour itself, I learned that John now owns the mine, while Gary has written a novel that brings Virginia City's Golden Age to life. --- Final Thoughts The Chollar Mine Tour is more than just a history lesson--it's an immersive journey into the life of 19th-century miners. Thanks to the passion and effort of John and Gary, visitors can better appreciate the challenges, ingenuity, and culture of Virginia City's mining heritage. ---

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.

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!

I remember taking the mine tour and being amazed that it is a part of our local history. I met some friends on a chilly Friday evening for drinks and karaoke. There was quite the crowd already at 8pm and I could tell it was a popular local watering hole. All the patrons were singing along with each karaoke guest and having a great time. The bartender was a very nice guy that was doing a great job keeping up with everyone despite being the only one behind the bar that night. We made sure to tip him well. He was slinging fresh cocktails, fresh draft pours, and some ready to drink cocktails. A couple of us put our names and song choices in for karaoke, the DJ had pretty much everything available to him. The songs ranged from classic rock, classic country, modern rock, modern country, 80's chart toppers, and some obscure songs that a number of locals got pumped up to hear! I got up to belt out my raspy rendition of The Promise, it was fun to get to 'perform' in front of a crowd again. A couple others in my group sang their hearts out as well. We will be back soon!

Wow, made with unique botanicals, juniper berries, and Neveda pine nuts... it was very flavorful and reminded me of Christmas flavors. We bought two bottles and a t-shirt. Bathrooms are nice and clean - which is always a bonus anywhere!

    Informative and friendly [Virginia City NV]…read more The Visitor Center is a great place to inquire about events, grab a map, purchase souvenir postcards and/or stickers or use the restroom. They are always helpful and friendly folks. You can also purchase all discounted Comstock Adventure Pass tickets here. This gives guests a 25% discount off the regular door price to VC's historic venues and attractions including museums, exhibits, mining tours, the Wild West comedy show, train and trolley rides and, last but not least... my favorite, paranormal tours. So the best way to get a lay of the land without having to dig through a rack of brochures is by hitting up the Virginia City Visitor Center first. They are located in the heart of Historic C Street. The original building dates back to the late 1800s, and even features the historic Crystal Bar (standing since 1871), the "Mysterious Clock", and fancy era chandeliers. Don't forget to take pic inside the "Outhouse." Review #3642

    Ghost Tour Of Historic Virginia City!…read morehttps://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ghost-town-virginia-city?select=v3ji0q4CHjh10hiTCgrKew&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w SITREP In the time of Gold & Silver mining, there is many a tale of tragedy as this prospecting community was growing, and within this Ghost Town there are many voices of the past who still clamor to have their stories told - yea, a warning - to the living.... THE SETUP Since some of us can't get enough stories about Pioneering tragedies, and traipsing across trails like the Donner Pass, why not go further up into Nevada Silver Country and just get the crap scared out of us, right? So a couple weeks back a bunch of us gathered in Virginia City - aka "Ghost Town" - and went to the Washoe Saloon, where some brave souls pledged to help us get to the bottom of these sordid tales of woe from yesteryear. STREETS, HOTELS, COURTS, OPERA HOUSES & SALOONS We trooped all Ghost Town and I dare say we had some close encounters of the spirit-kind. Our tour guides had some fancy-schmancy electromagetic detectors to indicate when spirits were nearby and I'd be lying if I didn't admit some wacky stuff happened while we went from one building to another. In one hotel - the aptly named "Ghost Hotel" - we learned the story of Rose, and such a sad plaintiff tale of her forlorn love. The one room pays a tribute to her memory. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ghost-town-virginia-city?select=Kh0qVAdHSpTJo-AEo5SJNQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w CONFESSION Okay. I admit I was a bit mean when we were all gathered, closely clustered together in a dark alley - and those meters were going off - and suddenly I was inspired to lift up a nearby dumpster lid and *slammed it down* with much THUNDEROUS NOISE! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ghost-town-virginia-city?select=aS5hY36Gv4tasRGOURkx9g&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w And maybe I enjoyed just a bit too much all the people screaming. Heheheheh... THE LOWDOWN Whether you believe or not, the tour is tons o' fun!
