Our tour director, an actual comedian, was so knowledgeable about the dam and the surrounding area. Her jokes were very funny and she kept us entertained during the entire tour. I only wish she wouldn't place so much emphasis on what the other tour companies don't give to their people. She didn't need to! She learned everyone's name quickly, kept us all involved and was probably the best tour director I've had anywhere in the world - including Russia, China, Ireland, and South America. We booked this tour for a reason - to see and learn about the Hoover Dam, and we experienced everything we were looking for. (The lunch wasn't worth it, but it didn't matter overall.)

If you don’t do this one, then you’ve missed out on a great day. Our guide is the best tour guide ever. His sharp wit and knowledge of the area made this a really enjoyable tour, plus you get a great lunch at the Boulder Hotel.
