This excursion was great. I was picked up right at my hotel, and the driver Gonzalo courteously called to let me know when the previous pick up got delayed. The vehicle was very comfortable, the ride was smooth, and the visit to the dam was great. Everything was easy, ran on time, and was enjoyable. I would recommend this tour.
Would highly recommend.
Our bus driver was really informative, made the trip to and from the dam very enjoyable. Going inside the dam to see the various tunnels and power equipment was great.
An excellent tour with a super knowledgeable driver. He stuck to the schedule and enhanced the experienced.
Ron our tour guide was very experienced and knowledgeable about the tour and answered many common questions and even some hard 'gotcha' type questions about the dam history and Boulder City. Tour events schedule was easy and stress free, Ron always lets you know ahead of time when to be back to the bus and what to expect on the formal dam tour, and gives tips on how to improve the dam visit experience and avoid waiting behind large crowds.
