Traveler reviews

Our 23rd Anniversary Celebration
I’ll start by saying we booked this trip literally last minute. It was close to midnight and the tours start early. I jotted down the number in the details and called them first thing early that morning. Super friendly and helpful people. Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic! Kevin I believe his name was. Great since of humor and gave us all sorts of details and history along the whole tour. Answered any questions any of us had. He also had bottles of water on ice before the tour began so we never got too hot or thirsty while we were out. He even supplied us with some bags to put any souvenirs or extra water in when the tour was over. I HIGHLY recommend this one if you ever want to do it!!
The Dam experience
The driver Chris was wonderful. He was extremely punctual, friendly, great laugh, personable and possessed an extensive knowledgeable of the area. The Dam experience was what we expected. The views amazing and the power plant tour was interesting to me but husband the engineer found it fascinating.
Must do Hoover Dam Tour (w/Chris)
Chris was an excellent tour guide. He didn’t just give the passengers mere facts, but he taught us about the Hoover Dam and educated us about each place we traveled through. This was such a positive experience! Keep on educating Chris, it is much appreciated.
