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.

Our tour was wonderful thanks to our “transportation specialist” Walter. Walter was entertaining and funny. He took pride in his duty and made sure that all passengers were taken care of. My husband and I look forward to taking another tour with Walter when we are in the area. Job well done by an awesome individual!!

Bud was our driver and he has lived in the area for a long time...gave great history for every step of our trip. Our return was going to be delayed due to a wreck on the highway...so on the fly he went a different way back on a highway that hugs the lake...he gave us tips "like to get to the visitor center first and beat the rush".
