The entire experience was on time and well planned. It was very safe and enjoyable. We saw bighorn sheep drinking from the river.

Horrible experience with La Vacanza Travel. All their emails say arrival time 10:00 am when in fact it’s 9:30 am so we missed the tour and then La Vacanza Travel told us we could reschedule to the next day and then 30 minutes later said no and refused to refund our money. Total rip-off and I am now disputing the charges. Ended up booking the tour directly with the raft company. That’s the only way to do this. Stay away completely from La Vacanza Travel.

As part of our girls getaway, the four of us ventured out for a three hour tour. We arranged for transportation from the hotel and couldn’t have been happier to board our Mercedes van and meet Angela, our driver. She’s been in Vegas since the late 70s so has a wealth of knowledge about the city and surrounding areas. She also made sure we were well prepared for a day on the River- sunscreen, hats and water. The weather never started getting rough and our raft was never tossed. Our guide, Eugene, was great and we set off with our group of 11. We learned so much about the construction of the Hoover Dam - an incredible engineering project, especially given that it was constructed in the 1930s. The trip down the Colorado River was stunning. Crystal clear (cold) water, birds, Bighorn Sheep and wildflowers. We stopped a few times to stretch our legs and a few braved a swim. We ended at the marina which had a shop for souvenirs and beverages. Angela was there to pick us up and drove us back to our hotel. She was as excited about our trip as we were! If you have the time in Vegas to take this tour, it’s a real highlight and a nice break from the Strip. So glad our friend Heidi made all the arrangements and we were able to experience this part of Nevada!
