Itinerary
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.
We include a photo stop at the famous Welcome to Las Vegas Sign - Our guides will show you the best place to stand to get your photos to create a happy memory of your time in Vegas.
Travel through historic Boulder City, viewing the quaint Dingbat houses which were built for the Dam Workers, and the historic Hoover Dam Hotel. We also make a stop here so you can visit the Hoover Dam Museum.
Our buses have an added treat, a panoramic photo stop at the new Hoover Dam bypass bridge for the single best view available of Hoover Dam. Get those cameras ready for the best selfie ever!
On arrival, you’ll begin with a generator viewing. Travel 524 feet (160 meters) into the walls of Black Canyon to view the Nevada power-plant, generators and a 30-foot-diameter (9-meter) pipe inside one of the four giant diversion tunnels. Next, head into the Hoover Dam Visitor Center where you can see the history of Hoover Dam and view numerous exhibits that explain how the dam was built, how it operates and who benefits from the water and electricity. Walk on the Top Tour - This is an exclusive, fully guided comprehensive 45-minute walk over the top of the dam. Your knowledgeable guide will touch all aspects of the dam including electricity, outlet works, intake towers, concrete, diversion tunnels, water/drought, deaths, wages, earthquakes, artwork, WWII and more.
Relax and enjoy pleasant conversation with fellow travelers over a hot made-to-order sit down Lunch on the way back to Las Vegas.

Its July in Nevada, its very hot! Take the water that they offer you. We wound up adding the Grand Canyon to our tour and it was so amazing!
Hoover Dam experience was wonderful! We were able to go down to the Power Plant and really enjoyed learning so much great information about it. So many gorgeous photo opportunities and great experiences. Nothing ever felt rushed, we got to see everything we wanted to and still had time for a bit of gift shopping! Lunch at Omlette House was fantastic. Food came out quickly and exactly as requested. Cannot recommend this tour more!
Great tour! Highly recommend to others. Joe and the Comedy on Deck crew made this trip interesting and informative, with a great big helping of fun and funny! Stop searching and choose this one!
Our tour guide Mike was awesome. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Thought it was a great tour. Joe the guide was very friendly and informative. My dad can only walk short distances and we were able to rent a wheelchair at the Hoover Dam visitor center for $5. The staff at the dam were very accommodating for him in a wheelchair. Didn’t realize it was a comedy tour company when booking but it definitely livened up the experience.
Good way to see the Hoover Dam. Tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. The inside tour was short and crowded. If it was not so hot outside, we would have needed more time at the dam, but with the heat- the timing was perfect.
It was very well thought out, the breakfast, the stops, his guidance and his jokes (just kidding). Lala was very experienced on her driving we had an emergency on the bus and they acted quickly and everyone was ok. First bus tour and I loved it.
Trez was an awesome host for our tour. He kept us laughing. Pickup was easy and the bus stayed nice and cool. Time allowed for each stop was appropriate. Highly recommend this experience
Trez and Quan were awesome. We had a great time. Will do it again if we get back out here.
