Awesome customer service, breathtaking views! - The tour exceeded my expectations! From the excellent customer service, to the beautiful views . Kyle was an amazing tour guide, explained everything well didn’t mind our 1000+ questions lol. I want to say the guy who transported us name was Marty? Not sure, but he was very sweet as well!!! They both made the hoover dam experience worth it. The views are breathtaking!! I definitely recommend this tour !

Don’t think, just buy! - This was my favorite Las Vegas excursion by far. The tour was extremely beautiful and scenic. Our tour guide and our driver to the boat dock were both extremely pleasant and knowledgeable & made the experience even better than it already was. The views are truly breathtaking & I will definitely be back. Although the 1.5-hour tour was amazing, nonetheless, I’d suggest purchasing the 3-hour tour tickets so that you can have an even more upgraded experience and a chance to see more of the nature and wildlife at the dam. Definitely a 10/10 experience for us!

Must Do Hoover Dam Raft - Such a great time! Sarah was super friendly and knowledgeable. Great view and overall experience. Seeing the Hoover Dam from the base really gave perspective of the Dam, very different from just being at the top.

An absolutely fabulous experience - Friends and I were in Vegas and looking for a different type of adventure. This tour was a wonderful time! I'm a tour guide at Grand Canyon and know the ins and outs of being a guide and leading a tour. I can't speak any more highly of this tour and especially our guide, Sarah! Experience, knowledge, being entertaining, and a sharing bits of education are all part of the gig and she nailed it. Book either the half or full tour and you won't be close to a boring time. Thanks, Sarah!!!

Worth the time and money - My family of 16 really enjoyed this trip. Our host were all great from check-in, shuttle transport, and raft guide. It was good info but getting out and feeling the springs and climbing the rocks for a few was a treat.
