Overview
Your trip to Las Vegas won't be complete without a tour of the mighty Hoover Dam! Built during the Depression, thousands of men came to Black Canyon to tame the Colorado River, and it took them less than 5 years to build the largest dam of its time.

You'll NEED to read this!!!!!
Shocking!!! Absolutely the worst day out EVER. Pick up was ok, then when at the depot for departure, we were given the hard sell for 'upgrades', told that the guided tour of the dam was 'unavailable' and given a $5 rebate!!!! $5!!!! Oh well, have a coffee before leaving, coffee…

Dear Graham W, While at Gray Line we are sorry that you did not enjoy your time with us more, we do take exception to some of your aggressive remarks. First, we do not hard sell, while we do offer upgrades there is no hard selling going on- we suggest maybe you google what hard selling entails. Second, you went to our café and saw what the prices were, then you decided you wanted to buy stuff at the clearly marked prices and now you want to say that we ripped you off? Why did you simply not purchase things at our Café? Third, you went on an inexpensive sightseeing tour and apparently you thought lunch would be at a 5 star restaurant? Seems illogical to us, but we do apologize that you were dissatisfied. Finally, we have been taking people on sightseeing tours to the Hoover Dam for nearly 40 years and almost all people seem to think that 2 hours is about the correct amount of time. Any more than that and we start to get a ton of complaints. We wish you well in your future travel experiences. Sincerely, Zachary

Long day & cancelled original trip
Our original mini tour was cancelled due to an equipment issue, so we were upgraded to the “deluxe.” While Hoover dam was great, I advise against the “deluxe.” While part of the tour goes on a cruise, which is an option, others go to the Hoover Dam Lodge for a lengthy 90 minutes…

Dear Gary G, Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are sorry that we had to cancel your original Express tour. We realize that tour cancellation can disrupt a person's travel plans which is why this is a very rare occurrence at Gray Line and usually the result of an unexpected equipment issue. We are also sorry that the tourism elevators at Hoover Dam where down on your day. The Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior, recently replace the nearly 30 year old elevators and of late have been having issues with the new ones. On behalf of everyone at Gray Line's more than 400 locations around the globe, I want you to know that we all hope to see you on another sightseeing experience sometime soon. Regards, Zachary

Excellent
What an amazing tour. Our driver Rita gave us some history as she was driving. She also did a stop so we could see the mountain sheep on the way back. We didn't feel rushed at all. Rita made the trip very enjoyable, would take it again. Thanks so much Linda & Ralph

Never Again
We booked a deluxe tour of the Hoover Dam through Gray Line. We received a confirmation call the morning of the tour from Gray Line. Bus was late picking us up (We had to phone to find out the bus was late-no call from them). After arrival at the terminal, we were informed that…

Dear Dennis, Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and corresponding with us regarding your disappointment about the tour change. At Gray Line we do realize the disappointment that accompanies tour cancellation, which is why this is a very rare occurrence at our company. Yet, on rare occasions due to operational necessities it does become necessary that a particular tour is cancelled. Usually this is due to an equipment issue or a scheduled driver becoming unavailable. In these rare occasions, we do try to accommodate our guests as best we can. Normally our staff offers a choice of three (3) options; Go on our shorter tour & receive a refund of the difference in cost, re-schedule for a different day, or receive a full refund. We are very sorry if these options were not made clear to you. In closing, I do want to apologize for the tour change and I want to wish you all the best in your future travel experiences. Sincerely, Zachary

Hoover Dam Express Half Day Tour
Tip for money savings for this tour is to book online; our hotel concierge could not beat the online price we found. Do read all instructions carefully from Gray Line, as you are required to reconfirm your booking. We went on a Friday afternoon, and it was a nice outing away…
