It was great to leave The Strop behind and see some of the surrounding landscape on the way to the dam. Hoover Dam is so impressive and the new bridge above it provides a spectacular view. Victor was very knowledgeable - we really enjoyed learning some of the history and colorful stories.

Perfect, amusing informative driver, two chances to get out for a short walk to take pictures, stop one, 30 minutes, stop 2, 40 my money minutes with time for the gift shop. Bring good shoes, water, a hat and maybe sunscreen. Historic Boulder was a unique side trip. What a chance to see our beautiful country.

Hoover Dam shuttle tour

Greg_J, Apr 2026
Hoover Dam is a must do. Not too far from Las Vegas. This tour does not go inside of the dam. It does cross over it and you can walk back across to meet your guide. Plenty of photo ops and walking. You can even walk the bridge that sits above the dam. Take in the amazing feat that is the Hoover Dam, built by American hands in the early 1930s.

Janice_Z, Apr 2026
What an amazing tour! We wanted something that wouldnt take up oir whole day and this was it! Our guide/driver was so knowledgeable and funny. It was definitely a small group (14 of us) so it felt much more personable. Just the right amount of time to see the bridge and walk the Dam. On the way up, we stopped and had a little mino tour through Boulder City. I would 1000% recommend!
