Great Way to Spend Half a Day in Vegas! - Might run a little behind schedule, but an awesome tour! We had a great tour guide (Oscar) who was knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time for pictures and souvenirs. The dam was awesome and the tour inside was interactive and engaging!

A must when going to the Hoover Dam - You do need a guide who doesn’t have a strong accent. I couldn’t understand 1/2 the historical information. So got a book. Otherwise it is definitely worth getting the tour.

The good, the bad, and the ugly of our Hoover Dam tour - Our driver Richard on bus 1957 had a very loud voice; although we asked him to turn down the volume on multiple occasions, his non-ending commentary continued almost incessantly during the tour. It made it difficult for us to relax and enjoy the tour. The tour was listed as a 4 1/2 hour tour; however, Richard made additional photo opportunity
stops on the way back from Hoover Dam and as a result we were one hour late getting back into town.
The movie at the Hoover Dam as well as the power plant tour and exhibitions at the dam were excellent.

Please contact me. 616-293-7808 - We were the last ones picked up. The only seats left were the ones in the back. The window was covered and I couldn’t see out of them. Taking a tour bus is to see outside. It was awful to sit on the bus and have the window covered with some type of frosted plastic. The guide was great. It was very frustrating when he was giving us info about the area and I couldn’t look out the window. I would like someone to contact me
