Alpventures® Top Secret Tours bring you face-to-face with the most mysterious and intriguing top secret military bases in America. There is more to see out here than you think. Get the full experience of Area 51 and its surroundings and immerse yourself in the secret history of aviation, black projects, and UFOs at some of the most fascinating places in America. We begin with a comprehensive historical account of the Federal Lands in southern Nevada at the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas.

We continue our top secret travels with a guided tour by the U.S. Department of Energy to the Nevada Test Site, now called the Nevada National Security Site. The NNSS was the home for America's nuclear testing program from 1951 to 1992, and the site continues to provide "experimentation, testing, research, and development expertise and facilities within the federal government for national security needs." Experience a full day inside the Nevada Test Site on our exclusive tour with many stops including Mercury (main base camp for the site), Frenchman Flat (where atmospheric nuclear tests were conducted) and the Sedan crater (from the Plowshare program). Visit the Central Nevada Museum and see the birthplace of stealth technology and F-117 fighter/bomber at the Tonopah Test Range. Journey along the original Extraterrestrial Highway to the edge of Area 51, and enjoy an evening at the famous Little A'le'Inn in Rachel. Search Nevada's night skies for UFOs and secret aircraft, and see Area 51's back gate, main gate and visit the famed "black" mailbox as well as other sites in the area.
