Absolutely great guide. We had a really easy time following all the information. Also loved the side sights and tiny diversions that added a lot of uniqueness to the tour. Very nice guide and a great time.

The hoover dam is incredible and the tour definitely helped us to get up close and learn more. However, the journey was spoiled by people loudly watching TV on their phones and the guide did nothing to intervene. Additionally, the video shown towards the end of the bus tour was dated and boring, and only served to nauseate any non-American who does not buy into the cult of the American dream. I would encourage the organizers to rewatch the video and reflect on how it may propagate white supremacy (note the video's extremely tone deaf portrayal of indigenous Americans) and an idealized and unrealistic version of American history.

I was having an out-of-town visitor and the only thing she wanted to do was take a tour of the dam. I've lived in Vegas for over 25 years and have never taken one and had no desire to. However, she's a good friend so i booked the tour. I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it! Our driver Mike was terrific and the tour was wonderful. So much information that I didn't know. The scenery was magnificent and it was a day I'll long remember. I highly recommend the tour to all.

Fun trip; lots of fun facts from the tour guide. He got us to the dam early so we get get the power plant tour before the crowds. Lots of great views of Lake Mead and a nice drive through Boulder City.

It was thrilling to finally visit such an historic site. The tour was a perfect length--it was not tiring and did not take a whole day. Note: The tour was advertised as beginning at 10 am when we actually had to be picked up at 8:30, so we did have to depart earlier than expected after a long flight the night before.

Exciting in elevator going so far down! The turbines were enormous and the moving cranes were neat. Understanding how much water & electricity is provided to many states from the Hoover Dam!

Was not provided an exact location of the pickup spot and was not able to find our bus. Was not given refund either.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Dear Nathan,
Thank you for having chosen Gray Line and we are sorry that this did not work out for you.
We texted the number we had on file with accurate pickup instructions the night before your trip and it is a shame if for some reason you did not receive them. Additionally, do the size and complexity of Las Vegas resorts, the sightseeing pickup points are determined by the resort (not the sightseeing companies) and any uniformed employee should have been able to give you directions to the pickup point.
In closing, we want to wish you all the best in your future travel endeavors.
Sincerely,
Michael S. / GL Customer Service

The tour itself was fantastic and a def must on your list. Our bus driver was knowledgeable &funny. I am disappointed to be negative but you need to be aware
that the arrangements to meet up were poor.
The communication was disastrous unlike other Viator tours I’ve been on, this 3rd party Gray line made no attempt by text, phone or email the day / night before.
So they take your money and then silence.
Before I went to bed I text & emailed .. nothing. When I woke up the actual day of the tour I missed the email in my Inbox that they had sent st at 5am !! (3 hours prior to the 8.30 pick up !!) Which was a 20 min walk away.. Ridiculous way to manage a tour. In essence we missed our trip.
When I tried to call Grayline we could not get through on their number published.
I had to frantically message within the Viator App which was slow, I asked them to call me and they ignored I think they were AI as robotic answers.
Eventually I asked Grayline to re book and they agreed but will charge me an extra $10 per person.
This drama ruined the excitement and we had to move other things around to accommodate this rescheduled tour. We were luckily there was space on another day !
Lesson Learnt Viator feed this back to your 3rd party ! These trips are not cheap and they have an accountability to let you know and reach out to you.
No other trip I done in the US with you had any of these issues !

Dear Jacqui,
Thank you for having chosen Gray Line and we are very sorry for missing your expectations.
Normally the vast majority of our guests find our pre-tour communications relevant and timely. We are sorry that this was not your experience and we will be taking a bigger dive into the issues you raised to see what we can do better.
We are happy that you enjoyed our driver/guide and the amazing place that is the mighty Hoover Dam.
In closing, I want to once again apologize, and wish you all the best in your future travels.
Sincerely,
Michael S. / GL Customer Service.
