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.

Bil C was very knowledgeable and really did a great job telling us about the history and different sightseeing stops along the way to the Hoover Dam. This was our first time going to the Dam and it was worth the money.

My wife and I did a tour of the Hoover Dam with SWEETOURS. It was a GREAT trip and what made it best was our guide. His name is Ron. He is 78 years old. We were a little apprehensive about the tour when he stopped to pick us up but we were soon at ease when he started to chat during the ride out to the dam. He was extremely knowledgeable about the Vegas area, Area 51, Hoover Dam and Boulder City, NV. He continued to talk, joke around and give us information the entire time he drove us out and back. We were on a shuttle with about 12 other people and he answered everyone's questions. During our stops to a from the dam he was patient and gave us plenty of times to get out of the shuttle, explore the area and take pictures. The trip took about 6 hours. It was $71.00/person and it was well worth it. He also provided as much water as you wanted. We could not have hand picked a better guide and it made the day VERY enjoyable. Highly recommend this trip and make sure you ASK FOR RON!!

Pick up was on time. Drive was knowledgable. We were not able to go down to see the turbines at the dam, so it was supplemented with a visit to a museum in Boulder City. Museum was awesome! For the inconvenience they even reimbursed us some of the money for the trip as well! I would do it again in a heartbeat! great customer service and easy to schedule! Great time! Thanks!
