Traveler reviews
Great tour with an excellent guide
Excellent six hour tour from Las Vegas. Our driver/guide Chris was very friendly and knowledgeable, giving an extended commentary on the outward journey. The extra stop at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign (a mile south of the strip) was appreciated as was the stop to allow a visit to the Tillman Memorial Bridge for great viewd of the dam. The tour included a ticket for the Dam's power plant tour ($25 if booked separately) so very good value overall
Bring snacks if you have kids
Great experience. If you have kids, you may want to bring a few snacks and a drink for the ride there and back. It’s a little longer drive getting there because it makes a few stops. They do provide bottled water when you get to the dam There was a bathroom on our bus.
Tour bus guide was...
Tour bus guide was informative. Movie was good. My only real issue was that visitor gave me incorrect info on where to meet bus. It was very hot so difficult to enjoy whole experience.
Great Tour with fun bus driver
Our bus driver, Michael, was very funny & helpful. He made a lot of dam jokes while also including a lot of information about the area, it's history, and about the dam itself. The pickup was a little delayed due to rain but nothing terrible, enough time for coffee. We made pit stops at a few locations to see the sights & take photos, starting with the Vegas sign, then Lake Mead, and the Memorial Bridge prior to arriving at the Hoover Dam. We got Power Plant tours included and that was great to see! This is definitely a shorter trip, we plan to go back to Hoover another time on our own to spend more time to explore the place more, but it was a fantastic addition to our limited time in Vegas!
Ultimate Hoover Dam tour
We had a good time. Our driver Michael was very friendly and funny. We had a couple of really nice stops before hitting Hoover Dam. If anything I don't think there was enough time to see the dam after the 30 minute inside tour, which took awhile to begin due to the crowds. Overall fun experience.
