Three things to know about One Day Tours (and specifically the Hoover Dam/Grand Canyon West Rim Tour):
1 The tour company itself is very communicative and punctual. They will even reach out to you a couple days before your tour to confirm and provide details of your pick-up which, as a tourist, is very helpful and assuring.
2 The bus itself is spacious and comfortable for all the driving. There are several stops along the way: first at the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge, then the Hoover Dam itself. Our third stop was at the deli for our lunch, then the Grand Canyon West Rim. On the way back we stopped at a cute local souvenir shop with clean restrooms. The stops really helped break up all the time spent driving and there was never an issue with being able to use a restroom.
3 If you are looking to spend time at the Hoover Dam and walk the Hoover Dam this tour isn't for you. For my husband and I, who just wanted to see the Hoover Dam and say "been there, done that," it was perfect. However if you are looking to have enough time to explore the Hoover Dam you may want to look in to other tours. The stop at the Hoover Dam is brief. The stop at the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge is more extensive and really provides the "money shot" of the dam itself. Just a friendly FYI in case you're wondering.
Overall, we were really happy with our experience. I can't finish this review without expressing how wonderful our tour guide Tara was; she was sweet, communicative, and very, very Informative. PLEASE remember to bring cash to tip her (or whoever your guide is)! Yes it's their "job" but their ability to balance driving, keeping their passengers safe, and sharing a TON of information is impressive and something I know I wouldn't be able to do!
