Amazing experience! - A short and well rounded trip. Our driver and guide Tony was thorough, informative, and friendly. Our family had an excellent time and we would totally recommend it to anyone who’s in a time crunch but still wants to visit the Hoover Dam.

Hoover Dam 3 hour tour - A perfect 3 hour (total time) tour to see the Hoover Dam if you don’t have time to get more in depth. Our tour guide Tony gave us highlights of Vegas on our way to the Dam which made the 35 minute ride fly by. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the dam. We made three stops to see different perspectives. I highly recommend it! Thanks Tony!

Great Destination, Disappointing Tour Experience - Disappointing experience with Mr. Las Vegas Tours.
Pickup details were supposed to be sent between 5:00 and 7:00 PM the night before, but we received nothing. By 6:45 AM for a 7:30 AM pickup, I had to call Viator just to find out where to go. We finally received a text around 7:00 AM and then had to rush out because the pickup was at a different hotel.
The actual email with the pickup information did not arrive until 10:43 AM, after the tour was already over.
Our driver, Victor, was also not very personable or customer-focused, which made the experience feel more like transportation than a tour.
The Hoover Dam itself was worth seeing, but as a travel agent, I would not recommend Mr. Las Vegas Tours to my clients based on the poor communication and overall service.
