Great experience and would definitely recommend. The driver and the tour guide were professional and very knowledgeable. Water is provided. There are lots of stairs but very manageable. Lunch was also very good at the omelet house. They tour is highly efficient and lined out but you are definitely not rushed.
Highly recommended extended tour of Hoover Dam. Tour guide Trevor, and driver Todd made the experience as good as it could get. Trevor’s second career as a stand up comedian really enhanced everything. Lots of local knowledge and slow driving to allow for great pics, including the best places to take the best shots. Really affordable tour if you don’t just want 5 minutes everywhere and includes lunch and plenty of water. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
While worth the money! Our guide Harrison was very informative. Highly recommend . Book with confidence.
Best tour our guide was funny and gave us a lot of information every step would tell anyone to go for sure!
This was a very entertaining and knowledgeable trip. Trez was an amazing guide and the stops were beautiful! Lunch was fantastic and overall was the best trip to Hoover Dam. I would recommend this tour to everyone who is thinking about going to the Hoover Dam!
Great trip off the strip! They texted me the day before with details on where to meet. The bus was spacious and cool, they provided water, and the host was funny.
Once at the Hoover Dam, the host guides you through security and turns you over to the dam staff. The Hoover Dam power plant tour was included, which was pretty short at about 20 minutes itself. After the tour, there was plenty of time to wander. It was about 90 degrees and bearable with cooling stations at different points!
The memorial bridge took almost 15 minutes to walk up to the state line marker. There are stairs and a ramp to get to the top.
I did this experience solo and I would definitely do it again with someone on a future trip!
The tour itself was fine, but I felt the actual time and experience at the Dam was fairly limited, and I’m not sure it was worth the price. That said, our driver and guide provided excellent service throughout the tour. They were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and they did a great job making the limited experience as enjoyable as possible.
The restaurant afterward was okay, and the burgers seemed to be a big hit with everyone in our group.
Unfortunately, the comedy club portion of the tour was where we had a disappointing experience. We went to the club to purchase the drinks required for entry, and our interaction with the bartender became unnecessarily unpleasant.
My sister has a phobia of ice in her drinks, so we specifically asked for her drink to be made without ice. The bartender initially put ice in the cup and began pouring the juice. We reminded him that she needed no ice, and he said he could fix it, but continued preparing the drink. We explained again that she simply did not want any ice in or mixed with the drink. He then got a shaker, and we again clarified that she did not want a drink that had come into contact with ice.
He eventually poured the drink out, got another cup, and once again put ice in it before pouring the juice. When we tried to stop him and reminded him again that we needed no ice, he responded that we didn’t have to yell at him and said that he makes the drinks with ice out of habit.
We were not yelling at him, and his response and overall attitude made us feel as though we were being unreasonable for making a simple request. What made the situation more disappointing was that the other employees were standing nearby but did not intervene.
At that point, we decided to leave rather than spend our money somewhere we no longer felt comfortable. This situation could have been avoided very easily. If the bartender had simply acknowledged our request and remade the drink without ice, none of this would have happened.
Overall, the tour was okay. While the Dam portion was limited, our driver and guide were excellent and truly did their best to make the experience enjoyable. Unfortunately, the experience at the comedy club left a negative impression and ultimately took away from what could have been a much better overall experience.
We just researching thebest option and find it good and cheaper. The driver is very careful and the tour guide is very well and fun. we have a very nice trabel
The comedy tour was great. Our guide Tres did an amazing job. The Hoover Dam tour was informative. We also were able to get great pictures.
Great experience overall. We loved our tour guide, the information, the tour at the Hoover Dam, lunch and the many conversations.
The Hoover Dam offers an truly remarkable experience. Exploring its immense structure and learning about its construction was fascinating. The sheer scale of the dam is awe-inspiring, providing a profound sense of human ingenuity. Witnessing the power of the Colorado River from this vantage point was unforgettable. It was a truly great visit that I would highly recommend.
Damn was fantastic! Tour guide and bus was great! Loved Harrison, he gave a great history of the Vegas Strip. BUT…. Lunch sucked.
This was a ready great tour! Our guide Harrison was very charismatic and knowledgeable. Harrison really made the trip ! Highly recommend! Great value, very reasonable pricing. Will go again when back in Vegas!
The dam tour itself was excellent (could've stayed there longer, though), bridge tour was good but could've easily had more time there, too. We would've preferred to skip the Vegas sign and lunch to have more time time at the bridge/dam.
Obtained a lot of information about the Hover Dam. You are shown all of the items & given explanations about how it all works. You learned how energy was supplied to others.
Very organized and relaxing. Some stairs and walking but not too difficult. Best part is having a driver and guide. Makes the tour so much more personable. Derek, oyr driver, and Trey, our guide, were great.
Trez was knowledge and funny.
Its was an amazing show.
Thanks again Trenz
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tour and bus ride was fun and entertaining. Lunch was a great addition to the tour. Would recommend.
Funny, informative, and a great way to see the Hoover Dam and other Las Vegas attractions. Doesn't take up your entire day but at the same time you get to see alot! Highly recommend
Friendly tour guy with great attitude and thoughtful provide great lunch, good driver and have a wonderful time!
Excellent and safe tour. Joe was our tour guide and he was so awesome. He took such good care of us and had the best personality
Joe was a fantastic guide - providing lots of information about the Dam, Las Vegas and Boulder City. He was also extremely funny! Our driver, Mike, provided a safe and comfortable ride.
Tour guide Joe was informative and funny. He showed and told us about all the good viewing spots. Bus ride was comfortable and had plenty of cold water for everyone. Would highly recommend
The tour was great… from beginning to end! Trey, our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny… made the bus ride go fast… the Dam was remarkable and the lunch afterwards was delicious!
Its July in Nevada, its very hot! Take the water that they offer you. We wound up adding the Grand Canyon to our tour and it was so amazing!
Hoover Dam experience was wonderful! We were able to go down to the Power Plant and really enjoyed learning so much great information about it. So many gorgeous photo opportunities and great experiences. Nothing ever felt rushed, we got to see everything we wanted to and still had time for a bit of gift shopping!
Lunch at Omlette House was fantastic. Food came out quickly and exactly as requested. Cannot recommend this tour more!
Great tour! Highly recommend to others. Joe and the Comedy on Deck crew made this trip interesting and informative, with a great big helping of fun and funny! Stop searching and choose this one!
Thought it was a great tour. Joe the guide was very friendly and informative. My dad can only walk short distances and we were able to rent a wheelchair at the Hoover Dam visitor center for $5. The staff at the dam were very accommodating for him in a wheelchair. Didn’t realize it was a comedy tour company when booking but it definitely livened up the experience.
Good way to see the Hoover Dam. Tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. The inside tour was short and crowded. If it was not so hot outside, we would have needed more time at the dam, but with the heat- the timing was perfect.
Fantasfice morning lunch was included made the day perfect lots of info fram the guide the guides at the dam given loads of information of how it was built would recommend this to to anybody
