Très intéressant pour tout ingénieur/architecte, cet ouvrage d'art vaut le détour histoire de prendre un peu l'air en dehors de la folie du strip ! Organisation parfaite, boissons et snacks a volonté et notre guide April sympathique et pleine d'anecdotes. Je recommande.

I highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide David was excellent. We learned a lot about the history of Las Vegas, the surrounding cities and the history of the dam. David was knowledgeable and witty making it fun for kids and adults alike. The tour was very comprehensive- it’s hard to imagine there is a more comprehensive tour out there that will show you all the nuances of the dam and the power plant. Loved being able to walk across the bridge as well as the Hoover Dam itself. The logistics were well thought out for this tour and the transportation was convenient and comfortable. Plan on it taking a full day and leave yourself wiggle room on both ends in case there is traffic.

Bobby was one of the best tour guides, I’ve ever had. I mean, EVER, for any tour. I’ll tell you why. He actually knows what he’s talking about. He’s not reading from a script. He’s a wealth of knowledge about the area. You can ask him anything. That, coupled with the fact he is a really warm and friendly person. I think everyone on the tour will agree that they felt like Bobby was their personal friend by the end of the tour. We did the Hover Dam tour and would consider coming back to do the full Grand Canyon tour only IF our friend Bobby will be our guide. Thank you Bobby. We had so much fun.
