Great tour of Hoover Dam! - We were picked up at our hotel by Bill, a perfect driver and expert historian and narrator for our ride to Hoover Dam. We stopped en route at an historic diner, where the group enjoyed a perfectly prepared American breakfast before resuming our journey to Hoover Dam. Upon arrival, we were dropped "at the door" by Bill and directed to a small movie theater, where we watched a short film about the building of the dam. Then we followed a tour guide into a (dry) diversion tunnel and then into a generator/transformer room at the base of the dam for a short lecture about the damage, flood control, and power generation. Following g the lecture, we were led to a very interesting Hoover Dam Museum containing a montage of history, people, and artifacts. With plenty of photo ops during the tour and return trip, this tour was well worth the fare for fans of history and/or engineering!

Excellent tour of Hoover Dam - Pick up near our hotel was good. Bill began his excellent commentary straight away and continued the whole drive there. We knew plenty of the history and interesting information before we arrived which we liked. Had a few stops to cross the bridge and to take in the various sights and for photos. We were dropped off to do the 2 hour tour of the power plant with a guide and a look around on our own. It was really interesting. Amazing to see how this came about and the vast scale of it all. Everything ran smoothly. Plenty of cool bottled water offered. Breakfast stop was fine. Comfortable clean coach. Great tour 5 *.
