5.00This was an amazing tour to the Hoover Dam. Just going down that far underground and looking at the work done in the 1930's, gives you a whole different perspective. We were glad we took the time to drive out to the dam. The sunset was incredible.
Hoover Dam Third trip with this company — outstanding

5.00This was the third tour we went on with Laughlan Tours each one just gets better and better. We had an absolute wonderful experience with Renita and Scott. It was like going on a trip with friends. The trip was much better than expected. We were treated very very well. They geared the information and experience towards the things that we were interested in. we can’t wait to go back to Laughlin to go on another tour with them. the next one’s gonna be Sedona Every tour has been well worth the money and worth the time that we spent. Each trip they have added special, small interest things that were not defined in the original listing, but took us to little spots just to give us a better experience with additional points of interest. This company is definitely customer focused and your experience is there a top priority.
Excellent

5.00Excellent tour Excellent guide Well worth it Trip to the Hoover Dam and surrounding area Would do a Laughlin again Thanks
Do the whole dam tour or nothing. This is a waste of money.

2.00Do not waste your time or money taking the power plant tour. It is only two stops where the guide explains things, the rest is taking elevators, walking, sitting in a theater seeing the brief preview film. If you take a tour, and that is highly recommended, take the full dam tour which takes off from where the power plant tour ends.
Awesome Hoover Dam tour
