We took this trip in May 2022 and our guide was Viktor.
You are sent a text the day before confirming your pick up time and location. They pick you up from your hotel on the strip, we were staying at The Venetian hotel and our pick up location was the Treasure Island hotel opposite (behind the Starbucks) and was relatively easy to find.
The pick up was prompt and on time, it was slightly confusing as we were advised to look out for a white van with the hoover dam on the side that said āMr Las Vegas Toursā and there were two vans matching this description. The first to arrive was not ours and there was some confusion from the driver as to if that was our tour or not.
Our driver Viktor did call us and we got on the van with no further problems. The van was for small groups and there were 8 people
On our tour (including us). The tour starts in Las Vegas as you head out towards the Hoover dam (approx 45 mins drive) and Viktor gave us loads of history about Las Vegas and the dam. We stopped at the Mike O'CallaghanāPat Tillman Memorial Bridge for about 30 minutes to get a good view of the dam and to take photos (there is also a bathroom here should you need it). We then headed through Boulder City and just over the dam for an additional stop for 10 minutes to take photos.
Viktor was very knowledgable and friendly. The tour is a great way to see the dam if youāre short on time and not looking to explore the dam museum. We then called at a local park in Boulder City to see the local wild mountain sheep - although there is no guarantee of a sighting.
On the way back we headed back into Las Vegas before heading out again for the additional 7 Magic Mountains stop. Iād recommend adding this on, purely to see and take a photograph.
Water is included and I would recommend sensible footwear, although thereās not a lot of walking so sandals would also be suitable.
