Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada
We proudly offer a designated bus driver (for safety) and step-on tour guide (for entertainment and information). Our drivers do not double as tour guides. All of our fully air-conditioned buses have panoramic windows for optimal viewing opportunities, and bathrooms on board.
Start your tour with pickup from select Las Vegas hotels and we don't take you to a central location to reload onto a different bus. You will go out on the bus you were picked up in. Limiting pick-ups and traveling on one bus allows us to save time and get back early. It can take hours to pull in and out of every hotel. By limiting pick-ups to 7 we are usually the first bus company to Hoover Dam. En route, your guide entertains and answers questions Hoover Dam, its history and/or the Las Vegas area.

The best Dam tour ever! We really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide was very informative, knowledgeable and funny. The pace of the tour, bus ride and meal was just right. Everything was well organized. The meal was good and quick. We loved the tour guides humor and we really enjoyed going to the comedy show later that night.

Easy tour, lots of time spent on the bus. Got to see lots of Hoover Dam spots you wouldn’t see by just driving over. Lunch being included was great, got to choose from a couple of meals. Our tour guide (aka comedian) was good, but wish there was more facts/ information about what we were looking at. Overall a good tour to take!

Comfortable bus. Entertaining guide. Lots of good information. Fascinating Dam tour. Only improvement would be the lunch. Mediocre, at best. But that’s not why we went!

Learning the intricate details of the building of the dam was quite an education, and who better to convey this info, none other than Harrison. Shout out also to Ken our driver

This tour is informative, fun and very pleasant. Our tour guide was a great guy with a sense of humor. There were plenty of cold drinks. The tour allows plenty of time to explore the dam and walk the 'rim' as well as explore the new bridge behind it, which has a spectacular view of the face of the dam. It truly is an engineering marvel. We stopped for lunch on the way home and that is a great way to bring business to a Mm and Pop restaurant. Overall an informative and fun day out.

The dam is an impressive sight. The model of the various dams in the entire Colorado River was very informative. Our guide Johnny was outstanding. He was entertaining and informative.
