Hoover Dam

Located in Black Canyon on the Colorado River, the Hoover Dam was once the largest dam in the world. As you explore, you'll see its incredible size, complex design, and the impressive feat of overcoming the challenges of the desert sun, a treacherous river, and towering heights. The construction of the dam also led to the creation of Lake Mead, North America's largest man-made reservoir.

The small tour makes it more personal. Captain Kirk was very informative 👏 . He knew us all by name rather quickly. Kirk was a wonderful guide and never made us feel rushed. I'd recommend this tour for people of all ages. Thanks Captain Kirk.

Earl was an awesome guide! The Hoover Dam is spectacular. Be sure to take the inside tour.. I didn’t have it on my top 10 list to do, but it should have been. So happy and grateful I got to do it.

Art did an amazing job throughout the tour. He was friendly, professional and did a good job narrating along the tour. He is very knowledgeable, providing historical information of Hoover Dam, Boulder City and historic Boulder. He also drove us to different areas, so we could get the photos with the best views and also offered to take the photos. We had a wonderful experience. Well done. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks Art!
Excellent VIP experience

The VIP Hoover Dam trip was all that I had hoped it would be. The van was very comfortable and the tour guide, Jim, got us everywhere safely. Jim was knowledgeable and injected humor into his vast knowledge of the infrastructure and inner workings of construction of the Boulder (now Hoover) Dam. I have mobility issues, and Jim was very kind, helping me out of the van and making sure the pace of the tour was appropriate for me — a true old-school gentleman. We were provided cold water and light snacks on the trip, which was a nice touch. I appreciated that someone from Adventure Photo called the day before the tour to confirm we were still going, and the day of we were called to update us on the approximate time we would be picked up and the name of our driver. I also loved the fact that the only people on our tour were my husband and me, another married couple, and a solo gentleman. It made the tour more intimate and the six of us got along well, cracking jokes and exchanging stories. Near the end of the tour we stopped at a beautiful park and we were fortunate to see live Bighorn sheep grazing on the park’s grass. Such elegant animals! I would highly recommend this Adventure Photo tour. You won’t be sorry!
Needs more organization

Seeing the dam and bridge was cool but the tour was poorly organized. The driver asked if we wanted to stop at a museum in Boulder City but there were 3 couples and we didn't know what the other people wanted to do. The guide/driver should set the itinerary. At the dam, he left it up to the guests what time to return, we had to figure on our own when to call him to pick us up.
