Beautiful views,would recommend if you go during winter months to dress warm,gloves and hat/scarf! The location in winter months is in the desert so plan on either driving or very reliable transportation. We relied in Uber/Lyft,the way to location with Lyft was great but getting Uber or Lyft return took almost 1/2 hour! Grace our guide was very nice! would do all over (maybe in warmer months)!

The tour was just long enough to provide the highlights of the Hoover Dam. The bus driver/tour guide (Tony) made the experience. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and clearly had a lot of experience. Most of all you could tell he enjoyed what he did.

It was an amazing ride, we enjoyed the quiet, the mountains and all the awesome info our guide gave us about the area, we would definitely recommend it and will do it again next time we are in Vegas!!! Thank you so much!

It was our first time riding horses. The horses were calm and easy to guide. It was an awesome experience.

Tony the tour guide is professional, knowledgeable, polite and funny.
