Great Hoover Dam Experience - Our tour guide, Skip was awesome. He had a great sense of humor and shared his insights about the local area. He had a lot of great tips for places to eat, etc. It was a great experience, I would do it again when we go to Vegas the next time.

The perfect Dam mini tour! - Our tour guide, Chris was extremely knowledgeable and funny. I loved every bit of information he shared. The stops we made were perfect for viewing the best of the Dam, it was plenty of time for learning and taking photos. The van we were picked up in was very comfortable and it was a very smooth ride in the middle of Vegas summer.

Good experience ended up being not so good - The tour was nice. Our tour guide Chris was informative and seemed to be very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, while returning to our drop iff point, someone cut the tour guide, Chris, off. He ended up on the side of the sriver and they began arguing bavk and forth. To the point that they were even talking about fighting each other. This was very unprofessional and could have been dangerous for the passengers.
