The coach trip to Boulder City was fine. We were dropped off and told we would be picked up at 1:30 to 1:45. We were back at the meeting point for 1:30 but there was no sign of the bus. We had to sit around in the heat which was not great for by dad who is 77. We waited and waited and we’re just about to call to find out what was going on when finally the bus arrived at 2:15. Nothing was said to us and everyone then got off the bus for a 25 min stop. We had to then get on the bus to find out what was going on. We had no apology for being late and we then had to continue waiting around.

The best part was seeing all of the history inside the Boulder City Hotel and going to the antique shops. I had a wonderful inexpensive lunch, and it was good.

It was a very good experience. Nice driver and very good views from history. Wonderful experience. Just remember to choose what moth of the year you visit. The heat can be overwhelming.

The bridge connecting Arizona to Nevada with the different time changes. How the construction workers scaled the walls to plant the dynamite.

We enjoyed walking around Boulder City. We selected the self-guided tour. The City had a simple to use audio tour through our phone. It was a lovely day to explore the city and enjoyed lunch.
Hoover Dam tour bus dropped us off and picked us up.
If you enjoy exploring a small town on your own, then this tour is for you.
