It was by far the best trip and well worth the money. Our guide was hilarious and the tour was great, clean, family fun. You leave early and come back early and the whole day is not wasted and you are not stuck in traffic which can be a big problem. The group of people you go with is small and it is very coordinated to the minute. Awesome experience, especially with our guide.

The Ultimate VIP Hoover Dam Bus Tour was a good day of fun and education for us. Our guide and driver were excellent. The size of the bus along with props and the personality of our guide gave the group a feel of a family outing. The tours of the dam, Boulder City, Ethel Ms and parts of the strip made our trip a wonderful experience. HATS OFF TO all the staff!

This excursion was absolutely marvellous beyond our expectations. The information and history furnished was almost too much to take in. Our Tour guide put everyone at their ease, had everyone talking to each other and injected a large amount of humour making this even more enjoyable. This was one excursion which I was really looking forward to having watched numerous programmes on television about the Hoover Dam. I was not disappointed. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you.

I had done the Hoover Dam tour two other times and was tempted to skip it. But my sons (21 and 23) had never seen it and wanted me to go with them. So I did.
What a pleasant surprise! Our hostess was charming AND knowlegable. You do not advertise enough some of your best benefits -- returning earlier than other tours I have taken, no main depot to add time to the trip, the extra tour by the hostess/comedian, and the small group bus. Great tour, great time, thanks so much!

The trip was one long laugh. Our guide never stopped cracking jokes. She was very informative when taking us on our tour of the dam. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip. We would recommend this company to any of our friends who were going to Las Vegas.

I was so glad we chose this tour rather than the one our hotel recommended. I would have been on the the Dam losers bus!
