Full description

Travel in style and comfort to the most popular sightseeing attraction in Nevada. The Hoover Dam is a feat of modern engineering and is one of the Seven Man-Made Wonders of the Modern World. Your professional guide will personally escort you throughout your tour to help you make the most of your Hoover Dam experience.

Several areas of interest along the way include the historic city of Boulder, originally a Federal town built to house the workers building Hoover Dam, and the beautiful Lake Mead – the largest man-made body of water in the western hemisphere – and dramatic views of the Colorado River. At the dam, you’ll see a live presentation on the Dam’s construction and history, and walk through the exhibition galleries and picturesque observation deck. Finally, venture down to the power plant to view the massive generators. The Hoover Dam Discovery Tour offers ample time for thoroughly exploring this National Historic Landmark and engineering wonder of the world. Enjoy this half-day trip in a custom luxury bus, allowing you a more personalized experience. Should access to the Hoover Dam Generator Room be restricted by the Bureau of Reclamation, the tour will include stops at the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge and the Boulder City Hoover Dam Museum.

Our driver, Glen, picked us up at 7:15am at the Delano West Entrance. There was 7 of us and we picked up another family of 3 for a full Jeep. The air conditioning worked well. The Pink Jeep sits up high, has large side windows and an intercom system that Glen uses to talk about the sites to and from The Hoover Dam. We learned about the 4 Mountain Ranges that border the city of Las Vegas. Our tour was in July, so the temp was 108 ! Glen made sure we had water to stay hydrated and watched over us to insure no one struggled in the heat by finding shade and shortening the amount of time in the sun. This tour had us back to hotel by 1PM. This tour included an elevator ride 500 feet down to view the diversion tunnels and the turbine generators. Each stop was narrated with information of what we were seeing and the history of how the Hoover Dam was constructed in 1931. Our two grandchildren, 3 and 7, were somewhat bored with the tour. However, I think it is an awesome experience.

Glen was a knowledgeable, friendly guide who provided just the right amt of information. He was timely, trustworthy, and receptive to questions. Hoover Dam is a worthwhile visit for its breathtaking scenery and interesting look at the dynamics of dam construction and use.

A well organised tour. From pick up to arriving at the dam then having the tour inside the dam was very well orchestrated. I learn't so much about Vegas and of course the Dam. John you were the perfect tour guide and the stop to the lake and park was lovely!
