It was sooo much fun! - It was one of the best experiences we've had as a bachelorette group! Just wonderful! And the perfect length of time to fit in an outdoor activity while in Las Vegas. The driver and guide were both truly amazing! Sarah, the guide and boat driver is so knowledgeable about the dam, the river, and canyon. She's very fun too and makes everything relaxed and enjoyable! Will recommend doing this to anyone I know who visits las Vegas!

Great experience - good company - If I could give them 10 stars, I would. They went out of their way to accommodate us. The pick up at the Linq promenade was well described. As it turned out, we were the only couple on the tour. I was so surprised they didn't cancel us or move it to another time! Marty picked us up and off we went. Marty was attentive and very informative about the towns and the mountains we passed through. I learned the history of the area before we even got to Black Canyon. Paul helped us on the raft and and gave us a great view of Hoover Dam (see pictures). Then we floated down the river and learned about the construction of the Dam and saw water from the volcanic rock coming out at 140°F. I would recommend this company and tour for any age.

Definitely a must do! - We had an awesome experience!! The guide and drivers were very knowledgeable and the scenery was breathtaking! It was a hot day, but the guide made sure we had plenty of water to drink and wet towels to drape around our necks to keep cool.

Fantastic rafting excursions. - This is a must to excursion. The pickup is centrally located at the back of the Linq Promenade by the High Roller on Linq Ln. Our van driver, Marty, took us on a story filled ride filled with fun facts and interesting history of things along the way. We stopped at an historic Hotel/Casino in Boulder City to pick up several more adventurers, then we were on our way to the Hoover Dam. Marty took us down to the waters edge where we were met by Aiden, our raft captain and tour guide. He started the trip on the Colorado River by talking about the history and inner workings of the Dam. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects and answered any questions along the way. He would point out and talk the walkways, pulley systems and other remnants still visible along the canyon walls. We continued down the river and Aiden would stop to show us and talk about hot spring, caves and the wildlife along the river. We even got to see several long horned sheep. After going down the river a little bit, we came back to a little island we had passed. Aiden “parked” the raft and we were able to get off and eat a snack that they provided for us. We were even able to go in the river if we wanted. It was a bucket list item I never knew I wanted to do until I did it. We returned to the dock where Marty was there ready to take us back. He dropped the people off at the Bolder City Casino where they were picked up at, then we headed back to our pickup location. This was such a fantastic experience, it is definitely a must to. I also have to mention Jayme. I called with a couple questions before booking and she was very helpful and friendly. She kept me informed with text the day before with pickup time and location of pickup. This is, by far, a trip you should not miss. We plan to do it again. Thanks to everyone for a great day.

Interesting tour :) - Well organized, but the wrong time given on Viator site. Check the time of pick up before the tour for right information. The driver waited for us, thank you so much! Interesting tour, I recommend it.
