I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Hoover Dam Top to Bottom Tour with Pink Jeep Tours, and I must say it was an exceptional adventure from start to finish. Our tour guide, John Holme, made the entire day both educational and entertaining. He was not only knowledgeable about Nevada's rich history but also provided unique insights about the Hoover Dam that really added depth to the tour. From the moment we were picked up, the process was easy, and the vehicle was incredibly comfortable, making the ride enjoyable.
Our first stop was at the Boulder City Dam Museum, located in the historic Boulder City Dam Hotel. This spot was not only educational but a trip back in time, with a rich history that set the tone for the rest of the tour.
The scenic views were stunning. The backdrop of mountains and Lake Mead was breathtaking, and to our delight, we even spotted big horn sheep along the way. The next stop was the Hoover Dam Lodge, a clean, convenient place to take a restroom break and pick up some souvenirs.
The next leg of the journey felt like an exclusive experience. Esteban, from Lake Mead Mohave Adventures, picked us up and drove us down a private road that’s normally off-limits, requiring high-level clearance. The sense of exclusivity was incredible as the road led us down to the base of the river where we were greeted by Sarah, our guide for the river expedition.
Sarah was excellent—funny, knowledgeable, and attentive. She made sure we were comfortable, offering cold towels, hydration stations, and everything we needed to stay cool and enjoy the adventure. The 90-minute pontoon boat ride was both relaxing and fascinating. We learned more about the history of the Hoover Dam, explored scenic caves, and had plenty of opportunities to take incredible photos. We even got to step off the boat, walk around, and dip our toes in the water, which was a refreshing touch.
This tour is great for families and can accommodate both small and large groups. Lunch and plenty of water were provided, which was a big plus. I’d recommend bringing sneakers, water shoes (optional), comfortable clothes, sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, and a camera (the tour guides are great at helping you capture those perfect shots). A small backpack to carry your essentials is also handy.
While we had special accommodations on this tour, the usual itinerary includes a stop at the Hoover Dam itself, where you can explore the power plants underground and walk across the top of the dam.
Overall, this tour is a fantastic way to experience the Hoover Dam from every angle, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to combine adventure, history, and...
Read moreAfter hearing that the South Rim is the bigger and better Grand Canyon to see, we booked a tour with this company very last minute.
Our tour guide, Bob was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and provided a great service. He told us that the tour guides on Pink Jeep undergo rigorous training before going on a tour by himself and it really showed.
A shuttle picked us up from our hotel at 5:45 am and we joined Bob's pink jeep around 6 am. The jeep could fit about 9 people and the seats were very comfortable. They keep about three boxes of plastic bottles of water and an ice box to keep some bottles cold. There were cute pink bags in front of each seat that contained a blueberry danish and a bottle of orange juice for breakfast. We left Vegas for the Grand Canyon a little after 6 am. When we got in the jeep, Bob started with safety instructions and told us what to expect such as washroom breaks, approximate time of arrival at the Grand Canyon South Rim and what time we would arrive back in Vegas.
As we passed by Boulder City, Bob told us more about Lake Mead, the Mojave Desert, the Colorado River and the Black Canyon. We made a rest stop after about an hour and 40 mins on Route 66 in Arizona.
After another couple of hours, we finally arrived at the entrance of Grand Canyon National Park. Bob told us about plant and animal life in the area. He pointed out some that we could see from our seats. Once we were at the park, we went on a trail taking in the wonderful view of the Grand Canyon. Bob even helped us take photos; threw out our garbage; carried my gift bag back to the jeep; and charged our phones on the jeep. We got a very good boxed lunch which had a Turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce and stuffings; celery and carrots; cheese and crackers; chips; and cookies. Bob made sure that we got back to our Vegas hotel around 7 pm so we would catch our flight on time. We had an enjoyable time and I'd recommend Pink Jeep Tours for people who want a one-day tour of the Grand...
Read moreIdk where to begin I was visiting vegas from Saturday until Tuesday. I did some gambling on the weekend, but I also wanted to do a grand canyon n hoover dam tour. I came across pink jeep tours online. I was very pleased with the deals they had going on.
Keep in mind this was my first time visiting these 2 beautiful places. I did everything online I paid 360 for the combo tour lunch included and plenty of water. The night before the tour they gave me a call to confirm location and time.
Our driver john picked me up at the Excalibur at 630 am. He was very friendly went over a few cool things about vegas while we picked up the rest of the group. Once everyone was on board we were off to see the grand canyon. He was so detailed and had a lot of knowledge about where we were going. We stopped once to take a little restroom break which was neat. I bought some snacks and souvenirs there.
We arrived at the grand canyon, but before entering you need to check in at the visitors office. There you can use the restrooms if you too. I recommend coming in small tours like this one because it's more personal and we got to go in with the trekker truck.
John our tour guide always made sure we weren't lost. Kept everyone feeling safe . He even took pictures of me which was cool it was like having a personal photographer lol. The grand canyon was just beautiful. I also did the sky walk. That was really scary bc I'm afraid of heights. After I got my nerves under control I was able to enjoy the glass bridge. Unfortunately they don't allowed phones there. After we went to guano point which was probably my favorite. West rim was nice, but I personally enjoyed guano point more.
After guano point we headed out to the grand canyon which was under an hour and half. We got a tour guide at the dam which took us inside the belly of the dam. My experience with pink jeep tours was just an awesome time. I recommend doing these while...
