Private Las Vegas: Hoover Dam & Boulder City Day Trip
Las Vegas, USA
Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

A private tour with Las Vegas Urban Adventures is always a completely custom itinerary, created just for you and your group! A private tour to the Hoover Dam and Boulder City can be from 4 hours - 10 hours, depending on the destination. Pick-up and Drop-off locations are the group’s choice. While many visitors to Las Vegas have specific sites they would like to see, many are happy to let our team create a custom itinerary that fits their interests, budget, mobility, and timeline. Typically, tours spend most of their time in the Boulder City / Hoover Dam area, but we welcome any ideas for your dream tour.
No two groups are alike and we will plan a trip tailored to your group's interests, budget, and needs. Below are some sample itineraries to use as inspiration for your perfect tour:
Every tour starts with a drive out into the desert from Las Vegas, after picking your up at your hotel or rental. Along the drive, you’ll get to know your guide and hear the history of the Las Vegas and Clark County. You’ll also hear about the Nevada desert and the hardy communities that have taken root here.
Half-Day Tour: A half-day tour will be mostly an out-and-back tour. You’ll get the chance to take in incredible views of the Dam from the Boulder Dam Bridge, head up to the Dam, itself, and take in the sights from up close, and explore the walkway across the Dam for the perfect photo op. There will also be time to visit the quaint community of Boulder City - with a thriving downtown scene and the opportunity for a bite to eat.
Full-Day Tour: A full-day tour gives you the chance to explore the Dam, Boulder City, and Las Vegas to the fullest: take the Dam tour with tickets that we can pre-arrange, do some antique shopping in Boulder City, get a little bit of nature time at Lake Mead, or spend some time exploring the sights in Las Vegas - like The Strip, Downtown, the 18b Arts District, or Red Rocks, Your wish is our command!
