Dam Tour

The van ride to the dam was late and the driver spoke very minimal English. The tour guide on the bus spoke very quickly with a heavy accent. So very difficult to understand. Would have been much cheaper to just Uber to the Dam

A very interesting and informative experience.

If you are in the area this is something not to miss. The sheer scale of it can’t be described. The tour is very well organised and gives you lots of information about the dam and the history and construction of it. We both really enjoyed the morning.

Great tour!

Great tour! The driver was awesome and very helpful. Definitely recommend having someone pick you up and drop off on to the dam and handle the tickets. Great price!!

Historic Tour

The visit is a history lesson, but the value is a bit super-dimensional for the TUR that is done. Could be more in mind
