What To Expect

Hoover Dam

This exciting tour commences with complimentary hotel pickup. As you make your way to the Hoover Dam, you will travel past Lake Mead, the second largest man-made lake in the Western Hemisphere. The tour will provide you with the opportunity to walk on the top of the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge. Following this stop, you will cross over the top of the Dam with closeup views of the architecture, penstocks and Arizona Spillway. When the Hoover Dam was completed early in 1935, it was both the world's largest electric power producing facility and the world's largest concrete structure, weighing a total of 6.6 million tons. You will discover a multitude of facts on your tour about this impressive structure.

Hoover Dam Bypass

The Bypass Bridge opened in 2010 stretching nearing 2,000 feet long and 840 feet above the Colorado River, making it the second highest bridge in the United States. Ample time is provided for souvenir shopping and purchase of food items at the Dam restaurant. This is truly an exciting and very educational experience that will provide you with a thorough overview of this fascinating, nearly 90 year old, civil engineering wonder of the world.

Fabulous tour by Bill to the Hoover Dam! They provided great communication after booking on pick up with directions and photos. Also provided great communication the day prior and the day of regarding pick up. Very comfortable transportation and our tour guide Bill was very knowledgeable of the city and the history around the dam. They provided water and a light snack. There is a lot of walking at the Dam but they do have escalators and elevators. If you are interested in the Hoover Dam, take this tour. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed. Just go!
