My review is very much a repeat of what others have said about Dean. He picked up four of us at 07.30 from the Aria on time and then we picked up 2 more from another hotel and then we were off. Dean has so much information it is hard to remember a fraction of it! It was so nice... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our Hoover Dam tour with Dean. He was our own personal tour guide as other scheduled people were running too late to make the tour. So it was only the two of us and Dean! He was a fabulous guide, very informative and a really nice guy. It was just the right amount of time to complete... More

Don't bother renting a car or hassling with a big bus tour. Dean shares his personal stories of Hoover Dam and takes care to be sure your tour is pleasant and informative. On the day of our tour, due to a "No Show" by the other scheduled passengers, we were the only 2 people in his van! Very lucky for... More

I was looking for a unique experience of the Grand Canyon so I didn't want to go with big tour operators and we didn't want to rent a car because we had limited time. Dean exceeded our expectations. He was waiting us at our hotel on time; give us a great breakfast and an amazing lunch by the rim. We... More

My wife and I booked Dean's for the Hoover Dam tour. We could not have asked for a better experience. Dean is a native from L.V. he knew so many little things about the history of the area, the Dam, the people. A wealth of knowledge. Way, way better than the "bus tours" our friends took! got us there and... More

What a great way to experience the history of Hoover Dam, definitely not your boring tour bus guided trip, but informative and fun all in one. Dean is a native of Las Vegas and his passion for his home state is evident in the excitement he brings to his tour. Very personalized guide who educated us in the lesser known... More

Our trip to the Hoover Dam with Dean exceeded all expectations. With children ages 14, 12, 9 and 7, it is often hard to find something that can stimulate each level. Dean's knowledge of the Hoover Dam and the history of the people who built it captivated everyone. Dean took us back in time explaining why the dam was needed,... More

Fortunately, my husband and I went on Dean's Hoover Dam tour last week. The van tour (with 5 other people) felt personalized, fun, and informative. Dean's knowledge of and enthusiasm for the Dam and the Las Vegas general area was evident during the ENTIRE tour. The stops on the way to the dam afforded us time to view and learn... More

This is my first Trip Advisor review, the reason, just to tell you, that the personal, small group (there were only 5 of us in the van) feeling can´t be matched by any other tour company in Vegas or anywhere I've been to. You feel you have a friend guiding you, not a Guide, you can ask him anything, he... More
