Nikki, our tour guide from pink jeep tours, was great. Very knowledgeable, and prompt. She took care of everything. The Hoover Dam tour was very interesting.
Our 4 hour tour inside and outside of Hoover Dam was great and very informative. All of the tour guides inside the plant were very knowledgeable. Calvin our pink jeep tour guide was also very informative and answered a lot of great questions. We enjoyed the smaller group tour that was offered as it felt more personable. Thank you!
Sucky a great tour. Edward was fantastic.
Despite a brutally hot day this was a great tour! Plenty of time to see the Dam and a drive through tour of Boulder City, and we had a few minutes to stop by the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. All in all a great half day. Thanks Ed for the commentary and the ice cold waters!
Stephen was amazing and very knowledgeable!!! He made the trip so fun!
The tour was fabulous but Viator provided 8am as the pickup time and 7:15 was the actual pickup time. Viator needs to be better.
Had great visit all very happy
Our driver for Pink Jeep was John! He was excellent! Very knowledgeable! It was an interesting tour!
Great tour. Our guide, Stephen, was very informative, providing lots of commentary about many local things during the drive to and from the dam. The size of the dam has to be seen in person to be appreciated and the guides at the dam were super informative. Good mix of time with guides and free time. Great way to spend 4-5 hours.
Great experience with Pink Adventure Tours. Picked up at our hotel. Gretchen our guide was terrific. She was a wealth of knowledge explaining the sites on the way to and from the dam. Free water was also great. This was our first time visiting Las Vegas. We would definitely book another tour with this company.
