This was a great tour! Only suggestion would be to add option of doing full tour which takes you to lowest levels of dam. Israel, our tour guide, was exceptional - explaining history of the surrounding area and role played during construction of the dam. Also pointed out key items such as diversion tunnels etc. Would highly recommend this tour!

Awesome Time

Melissa_O, May 2026

Great small tour with getting to see all sides outside and inside of the dam. Plus the additional time from the bridge.

Super hot - but worth it

Emma_B, May 2026

The dam and the bridge is interesting. Super hot - be ready for it. Israel kept us well topped up with water.

Vegas baby!

Nicholas_P, May 2026

The actual Hoover Dam experience and the knowledge of the guide was outstanding. The only downside to our experience was that we were picked up one hour late after making multiple calls trying to find our driver.

Amazing 5 hours.

Patricia_M, Jul 2025

This is an amazing 5 plus hours. Jam packed with interesting information. Our guide ( and I’m so sorry I forgot his name) was a fountain of knowledge with lots of facts and figures to impart to us. Myself and my 13yr old grandson took the tour and at no time was he bored (an achievement to keep a young teenager happy). We were supplied water and a few snacks and more substantial food is available in the visitor centre at the Hoover Dam. We saw all the welcome signs and had the obligatory photo stops. We crossed over into Arizona from the bridge so 2 states in 2 minutes, a fun thing. There can be quite a lot of walking, including steps, but ramps and elevators were available if needed. Needless to say I finished my day in excess of 15000 steps! If I could give 10 stars I would and wish I could remember our lovely guides name (originally from Toronto and studying in Nevada)

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your grandson had such a memorable and engaging experience on the tour — especially keeping a teenager entertained for over 5 hours (we agree, that’s quite an achievement!). And no worries about forgetting your guide’s name, we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to our team! Thanks again for the glowing review!

Exceptional Hoover Dam Trip/Tour

Danny_F, Jun 2025

Exceptional Hoover Dam tour! USA West Tours' "Hoover Dam Full Experience" was outstanding. A great way to spend a half day in Las Vegas. Our tour guide, Israel, was knowledgeable, friendly, and great to spend a day with. Great trip with fun stops. The included breakfast was fantastic. All around, a great tour with our fantastic guide, Israel!

Response from Host, Jun 2025
