Our guide and driver, Chris, was amazing! He was informative and funny as well. The small group was a great choice. The van was comfortable. Hoover dam shouldn’t be missed! Probably could’ve used more time, but very grateful that we took in this experience! Don’t hesitate!

This was a great tour. Our driver and guide, Bob, was very knowledgeable. The sprinter van was comfortable, and Bob had a cooler full of bottled water for us.
