Awesome Time

Great small tour with getting to see all sides outside and inside of the dam. Plus the additional time from the bridge.

Super hot - but worth it

The dam and the bridge is interesting. Super hot - be ready for it. Israel kept us well topped up with water.

Vegas baby!

The actual Hoover Dam experience and the knowledge of the guide was outstanding. The only downside to our experience was that we were picked up one hour late after making multiple calls trying to find our driver.

Hoover Dam and Power Plant

This was a great tour! Only suggestion would be to add option of doing full tour which takes you to lowest levels of dam. Israel, our tour guide, was exceptional - explaining history of the surrounding area and role played during construction of the dam. Also pointed out key items such as diversion tunnels etc. Would highly recommend this tour!

Operator response

Thank you for your great feedback and helpful suggestion! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and the historical insights shared by our team. We’d love to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience!

Hoover Dam was an experience to see. It is a marvel of engineering and was started during the Great Depression.

It was a bucket list item for me. The new bridge is also amazing. We did the power plant trip. I would like to go back and tour inside the dam.

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're honored to have helped you check a bucket list item off — that's what it's all about! The new bridge and the power plant tour are definitely impressive, and we agree — touring inside the dam is an incredible experience and well worth a return visit. We’d love to have you back when you’re ready for the next adventure!

Incredible Hoover dam/bridge, Lake Mead and ram views

Israel was the best!! The addition of seeing Mountain rams and ewes plus a roadrunner up close was a fantastic surprise! Having a local guide who spoke multiple languages was handy. I went solo with six other people on the tour and they were so nice.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're also glad our team helped make the trip smooth and enjoyable. It’s wonderful to hear that the group dynamic added to your solo adventure. We’d love to welcome you on another tour in the future!

Amazing 5 hours.

This is an amazing 5 plus hours. Jam packed with interesting information. Our guide ( and I’m so sorry I forgot his name) was a fountain of knowledge with lots of facts and figures to impart to us. Myself and my 13yr old grandson took the tour and at no time was he bored (an achievement to keep a young teenager happy). We were supplied water and a few snacks and more substantial food is available in the visitor centre at the Hoover Dam. We saw all the welcome signs and had the obligatory photo stops. We crossed over into Arizona from the bridge so 2 states in 2 minutes, a fun thing. There can be quite a lot of walking, including steps, but ramps and elevators were available if needed. Needless to say I finished my day in excess of 15000 steps! If I could give 10 stars I would and wish I could remember our lovely guides name (originally from Toronto and studying in Nevada)

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your grandson had such a memorable and engaging experience on the tour — especially keeping a teenager entertained for over 5 hours (we agree, that’s quite an achievement!). And no worries about forgetting your guide’s name, we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to our team! Thanks again for the glowing review!
