We were lucky enough to get Israle as your tour gide. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, explained the whole history of Las Vegas, how it started and how it has transformed into what it is today. He referred that he was there to be our personal photographer. He was an extremely safe driver, and I felt safe at all times in his vehicle. The vehicle was a big Mercedes conversion van with high ceilings. He offered up plenty of free water and snacks. The tour starts at the Las Vegas sign, then a drive over to the Lake Mead overlook. Then you get to go on top of Memorial Bridge. Following a guided tour from the employees at the Hoover Dam. On the trip back from the dam, he brought us to this amazing park that was not listed on the itinerary. Where we were able to get another good look at Lake Mead and also see the wild bighorn goats. I would definitely recommend this excursion. On our tour we had a couple that did not speak a lot of English and he was able to use a translator app in their language so they could better understand all the information he was conveying.
