It was a fantastic one-day trip experience. Our guide, Charles, was wonderful. He took great care of us, provided excellent information, and kept us entertained throughout the journey. We never got bored. Highly recommend him! He also managed his time very well.

Charles was excellent. One of the best tour guides I’ve met. If you have any interest in the genuine history of Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam, beyond the superficial, Charles is your man. Thank you Charles 🙏

First, our guide, Charles, was fantastic. I would ask for him if you can. We really enjoyed all the stops, his personality and the history. Our big complaint was the total time. When I’m on vacation, my time is precious and I make lots of plans. The start time is listed as 7:20am with the tour time listed as ~4.5 hours. We were picked up around 8am (which they communicated the night before), but were the first drop off on the way back and we arrived just before 3pm. That is 7.5 hours. That’s most of your day and there were 10 more people to drop off so maybe 4pm for the last folks, 8.5 hours). We had 4 people on our tour that had purchased an extra ticket to tour the interior of the dam. The reminder of us were entertained for a bit and then left to hang out for another 35-40 min with nothing to do, all waiting to go back to our hotels. Another couple on our tour spoke with the tour company on the phone and were told the tour would end no later than 1pm and they were dropped off after us (at least 2 hours later than they were personally told). Even if you didn’t count the pickup times (which is not communicated anywhere), the tour would’ve been much longer than 4.5 hours. If you have no other plans and don’t mind a full day tour, this could work. If you’ve got plans, I would not choose this one.

My sister and I visited Vegas for the bsb tour and wanted to find something scenic while we were here. It was a Super hot day but such a great tour. Great bang for your buck- lots of great sights, great photo opps, informative, & not too long or draining. We finish around 1/130 so we still had the rest of the day to do stuff. Our guide Carlito was AMAZING! I can’t speak highly enough of him. He made the experience phenomenal. He knew all the tricks and spots and kept the info and jokes coming. He also took great pics for my sister and I. He kept us cool and hydrated. Would def recommend. I hope you get Carlito as your guide. Wear a hat and light loose clothing, bring shades, have breakfast beforehand or bring a light snack. Wear sunscreen. A fanny pack or crossbody should do the job. I recorded a lot so I did bring a portable charger.
