This is a fantisitice tour! If you are interested in engineering or American history, take the extra time needed on this tour. Our guide Jason, was also very entertaining and informative. The tour driver Allan, was most accomodating and drove to viewing areas so we could have vantage viewing and photo opportunities.

the tour was wonderful, Jason was great, lively and witty and full of information. The bridge is a beautiful sight and a perfect vantage point to view the dam. The dam was awesome and plenty of time for pictures and viewing. After the dam we were taken to Boulder City, a time capsule town, wonderful. We had lunch at a great diner, the food was delicious and the service great, very relaxing and a welcome change from the Las vegas scene. We then stopped at a chocolate factory, which was ok, but not necessary after the previous events, sights and information during the day. Loved the tour from start to finish, highly recommend to see a true American wonder of the world and a great piece of strawberry pie! We have used viator in London Paris and Bangkok and we are always pleased with the quality of the people and the places we visit. Thank you for a great day Debbie
