The whole experience was memorable as such stunning views - and a very knowledgeable tour guide too. However you need to check details with the tour operator as I was given the wrong start time so had to re-schedule the trip for the following day.

Hoover tour
Dennis_K, Sept 2023
The tour guide Lafyette was great and funny and told us allot of insight. He made it fun and enjoyable.
Response from Host, Sept 2023
Hi Dennis, Thank you for leaving Gray Line such a nice 5-star review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your day with us and our driver/guide Lafayette. Since 1910 the Gray Line family of nearly 200 worldwide sightseeing companies have been seeking out the best guides in every destination we serve, so it's nice to know our guide did such a great job and had great suggestions. On behalf of everyone at Gray Line around the globe, I want you to know that we all hope to see you on another adventure sometime very soon. Regards, Michael
Great Tour, But..
Jessica_C, Sept 2023
Had an excellent tour to the hoover dam and our guide was fantastic, but I'm not super pleased with the corporate side of this company. Why would you overbook a tour?! Our party JUST made it on, four other people who were supposed to be picked up at our hotel had to stay behind because there wasn't enough seats on the bus for them. I felt bad... everything isn't about money.
Response from Host, Sept 2023
Dear Jessica, Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are happy that you enjoyed your Hoover Dam excursion with us and that you found the guides to be fantastic. At Gray Line we rarely overbook and when it does happen it is usually the result of having to change the coach we were planning to use, this is usually due to a last minute mechanical issue with the scheduled equipment. In closing, I want to again thank you for your review and I want to wish you all the best in your future travel endeavors. Sincerely, Michael
Quick little jaunt to give you a taste of Hoover

Go another route
Judy_M, Sept 2023
The actual Hoover Dam tour was excellent but the bus was almost an hour late, we were rushed through all stops leading up to the actual tour. The intercom system was horrible. We couldn’t understand anything. The last rows in the bus were HOT. AC did not circulate.
Response from Host, Sept 2023
Dear Judy_M, Thank you for having chosen Gray Line for your Hoover Dam excursion and we are sorry for missing your sightseeing expectations. In particular I would like to apologize for the issue you experienced with the intercom system and if you found the coach to be too warm. Everyone's temperature expectations differ and it can be hard to keep everyone comfortable. We are sorry that his affected your enjoyment of the magnificent Hoover Dam. In closing, I want to thank you for leaving us feedback and wish you all the best in your future travels. Sincerely, Michael
No actual trip, no refund
Sally_R, Sept 2023
We turned up for the bus at the time on the booking and no bus came. We contacted the operator and were told that the bus actually arrived 90mins prior to this and we should have phoned them to find out the real pick up time. Apparently it does say this in the small print but it is not at all obvious. Other tours we booked contacted us via various routes to make sure we knew how we would be picked up. This operator did not do this. We were refused a refund and offered only a rebook for an additional $10 each. We declined, as we instead just got a taxi to the Dam ourselves.
Response from Host, Sept 2023
Dear Sally_R, At Gray Line we do appreciate that had chosen us for your Hoover Dam excursion, however the reconfiguration information isn't in the small print, it is made very clear & apparent, as testified by all the other guests that were on that excursion with us. As with most tour/transportation providers we do not refund for no-shows. In closing, we do wish you all the best in your future travel experiences. Sincerely, Michael S.

No Refunds Even When Conditions Out of Control
Anthony_p, Sept 2023
My flight was cancelled and I didn’t make it to do the tour. I asked for a refund and they refused because of the 24 hour notice requirement despite the fact that my fiancé and I couldn’t fly in because of bad weather resulting in multiple flights cancelled over 36 hours.
Response from Host, Sept 2023
Dear Anthony, We are sorry that you are disappointed with our cancellation policy, however there is such a thing as travel insurance which many guests purchase from their travel provider, whether online or a traditional travel agency. One of the key reasons for our cancellation policy is that we simply cannot monitor and police the reasons why someone is coming to fabulous Las Vegas. We wish you all the best in your future travel experiences. Sincerely, Michael

A great trip

Our driver was informative, fun and kept us all on time. He also drove sensibly through a flash flood. The hoover dam itself is an amazing structure. A trip recommended

Transport yourself and book your own ticket directly with the dam.
Seth_Y, Sept 2023
The hoover dam is neat to see. The viator booking for this is essentially transportation to and from the dam and giving you a ticket for the power plant tour ($15). It's roughly 30 minutes of time to explore (need 2 hours or better) before you have to go back so if you're doing this it's worth driving out yourself or using uber/lyft and buying the ($15) ticket.
Response from Host, Sept 2023
Dear Seth_Y, Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are sorry that we did not wow you enough to give us either 4 or 5 stars. I can assure you we will be reviewing the tour your driver conducted to make improvements, since sightseeing excellence has been the Gray Line goal since 1910. In closing, I want to wish you all the best in your future travel adventures. Sincerely, Michael
Not the best experience
Tanya_P, Aug 2023
Hoover Dam was amazing and the tour guide at the Fam was really good as well. The only down side was that 1 and half is not long enough their as by the time the tour finished we had to rush in the shop and could not look around. Unfortunately the tour company itself let it down as the coach was over 1 hour late, which was unacceptable in this heat and make you get their early. The Driver was ok but he’s singing was a bit irritating. It’s a shame really as we went on two another trips with Viator and had a great time.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Dear Tanya_P, Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are sorry for missing your sightseeing expectations. Normally, guests seem to feel that our Hoover Dam tours give them enough time to see this spectacular engineering marvel. We are sorry that you felt rushed. Regards, the late pickup- We would like to apologize for this, yet when you work around the busiest tourism corridor in the world sometimes delay do occur- normally the result of heavier than normal morning traffic, unscheduled road works, or difficulty finding guests at a previous pickup point. The problem is currently worse as the tourist corridor is under massive preparations for the upcoming Formula 1 race. In closing, I want to once again apologize and wish you all the best in your future travel endeavers. Sincerely, Michael
Fun, interesting trip!
Laura_P, Aug 2023
Our driver, JB, was funny, friendly and on time. He gave great insight about the strip and City. The trip is a little longer than 4 hours depending on where you get picked up at. We got picked up on the second stop so I appreciated doing the reverse drop off after a long, hot day. Hint: at the Vegas sign stop buy one of the drinks on ice… makes the hour long bus ride easier. I had a yummy strawberry lemonade. The dam was really interesting. We did the power plant but we should have upgraded to the guided tour. Definitely worth the money and not having to book transportation was great.

None to share
Elsa_R, Aug 2023
Unfortunately, there is no experience to share. We didn’t know nor did the tickets say we needed to call transportation company ahead of time to find out pick up time. We ended up missing it and when we contacted Gray Line Las Vegas (bus co) to see if there was another pickup happening (there wasn’t), they did say this tended to happen a lot with customers not knowing they had to call ahead of time to find out pick up time. Viator stopped communicating with me after I shared with them exactly what I’d received from them when I bought the tix (no mention of calling ahead of time). First and last time we use Viator.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Dear Elsa_R, While we appreciate that you choose Gray Line for your Hoover Dam experience, the need to call to reconfirm was clearly disclosed at the time of the booking. Contrary to what you say in your review, this is not a common problem, if it was then our review pages on Viator would be filled with clients saying the same thing- and there aren't any. In closing, we want to wish you all the best in your future travel experiences. Sincerely, Michael

Hoover dam tour - awesome driver!
Sharon_P, Aug 2023
The extra effort that Lafayette made to make the tour memorable was outstanding and incredible!!!!!! I really Hope that Las Vegas figures their traffic nightmare out and fast so others dont have the same kinds of delays - yes it was unfortunate that we had to wait extra for the bus to get us but even with the delays we had it was still an incredible experience!!!!!! Thank you for having amazing drivers like him!

Dam hard work
Joseph_M, Aug 2023
The massive scale of the generators and dam itself. The men that worked on the project were some dam hard workers, for little pay and 2 days per year. It's really sad to see lake mead so low.
