Hoover Dam excursion from Las Vegas - Our guide Bill was amazing. We learned so much about Las Vegas history, and about Boulder City. The guided tour of Hoover Dam was interesting, but not as interesting as Bill!

Great Hoover Dam Tour - Booked the early morning Hoover Dam tour and Bil C. was our tour guide. We were transported in a very comfortable vehicle and Bil was a friendly informative guide for our trip. Once I booked my tour, I was given clear instructions and times for the tour pick up. I even received advanced notice on the morning of the tour pick up. Trip started with pick up at our hotels and then a hearty breakfast at a casino about 20 mins. from the dam. Next we visited the bypass overlook for about 30 mins. (which was plenty of time for great photos of the dam from the bridge). Then we went to the dam and interior dam tour. We had about 2 hours to explore on our own (which included the 45 min. dam tour), and was plenty of time. We had one last scenic view stop before heading back for drop offs at our hotels. I would highly recommend Sweetours Hoover Dam Tours! Bil was full of useful history of the area and the Dam
