Unreal Views!

What a wonderful time! We had the best dam guide--equipped with jokes, social commentary and full of knowledge. Our guide took us up to the Lake Mead before heading to the Hoover Dam which was a great break but also better opportunity to fully take in the spectacle of the Hoover Dam. Tremendous value for first time visitors.

Awful

They picked us up in a broken down bus with no air conditioning. It was awful. The driver had to pull over several times so as to not over heat the bus. They skipped one of the stops and had about an hour and a half to see the dam.

Transportation Fail

We picked this tour because they could pick up on Fremont and unfortunately the night before the tour we were contacted by the transportation company, Gray Line Las Vegas, letting us know their bus wasn’t operating. We were contacted at 9pm, the night before our 8am tour time which was a very last minute cancellation. Luckily we got a refund but when you’re looking forward to the tour and then have a last minute cancellation where you can’t reschedule, it’s upsetting.

great time

Overall it was a excellent time, the only flaw was the timing on the trip, 3 hours would be better for the money spent then just 2 to see more of the area and take more time.
