Hoover Dam Guide - Pam provided our group with so much information about the history of Hoover Dam. She was able to share details about that dam that most guides wouldn’t know.

Just okay - This was an okay tour, but I would not recommend it.
The tour guide referred to himself as our driver, and that should have made his priorities clear. We booked through Viator for pickup at our hotel (Bellagio) and were told to expect a text between 5-7pm to confirm pickup. Instead we were texted at 6:29 am telling us to be at the Horseshoe at 7:30am. We did not see that text until 6:49 when we awoke. The driver didn’t apologize, just told us that booking through the third-party site gave us wrong information. Maybe they should avoid using Viator if they can’t work within that system. On the way, he alerted us just AFTER we passed the famous Las Vegas sign that we had passed it and later said it wasn’t on the way back for a photo stop. Driver was safe, gave a moderate amount of info during drive, and gave us a few stops to look at the memorial bridge, the Dam, and Lake Mead. He expressly told us not to enter the visitor center because we didn’t have time, which was very disappointing.
He did have some interesting facts to share about his time with Cirque du Soleil.
The next day we took a Pink Jeep tour to Red Rock, and I would strongly recommend Pink Jeep over this company.
