Considered a modern marvel of the world, Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam located in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River and is the most visited dam in the world. The dam created Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States (in terms of capacity), which supplies water to farms, businesses and millions of people in Nevada, Arizona, California and Mexico. Nearby Boulder City, located just 6 miles from the dam site, was built and designed by the government to house and feed the workers while they built the Dam. Decades later, this quaint city with its small-town charm, offers boutique shops, restaurants, and picturesque Hemenway Park where you might spot a group of native bighorn sheep grazing.

I have used D tours in the past and will use them again and again. Darren picked up myself, my mother & 3 daughters. I feel so safe and comfortable with him. I have seen the Hover Dam at least 4 times before but, never seen it this way. I loved going through Boulder City to see the big horn sheep at park & stopping to get homemade ice cream. But most of all i love the kindness and time Darren took with my 79 yr old mom. Made sure she was comfortable & rested , he even stayed to talk to her while we went a little father then she could. thank you for making our 3 generation vacation so memorable.

The tour guide Darren was great. He had a lot of knowledge of the history of Boulder City and Hoover Dam and we got to see the dam and Lake Mead from many different angles.
