Incredible! Worth every penny. Treated like a VIP all the way. The best part was the Skip The Line portion for the Skywalk-- the line was already quite long and they don't permit many on the Skywalk at one time. We simply went around everyone and right onto the Skywalk -- then enjoyed 10 minutes or so simply viewing the Grand Canyon. Just the right amount of time. Upon return, our pilot flew right down the Old Strip, then down the length of the New Strip in Las Vegas. We took some incredible photos. This is the only way to see the Grand Canyon (and a bonus birds eye view of Vegas)!
Reviewed by: David B, April 2011We were picked up from the hotel on time and the driver was excellent. We then arrived at the airport and the booking in process took a little time but it was all part of the excitement of the Grand Canyon I suppose. The helicopter flight out to the Grand Canyon was amazing and it made our visit to Las Vegas all the more enjoyable. The pilot Robert was great he kept us informed with a good narrative of the sights and history of the Hoover dam,Lake Mead and the surrounding area. We then had a bout 20 minutes on the Skywalk which I guess is long enough before we then flew back to Las Vegas with a flight down the Old Vegas and the strip. This was an amazing trip and I would recommend. David & Gayna Rouse(Kettering,England)
Reviewed by: David R, October 2010What an excellent tour.Well worth taking this trip. Picked up in a limousine, then only a 5-10 minute wait at the heliport, then a helicopter ride over hoover dam en route to Grand Canyon. Skipping the line at the skywalk was perfect as quite a queue had developed when we left. The picture taken was also excellent as was the ride back to vegas which took us over the las vegas strip. An all-round excellent tour, and enough time to take plenty pictures and no waiting about at any time. Highly recommended

Proved with some reviews from World Travel - Travel WorldThis tour was amazing! We were picked up at our hotel and enjoyed a quick limousine ride to the airport. The kids thought this was great. The helicopter ride was absolutely beautiful. Both the manmade sights, like the Las Vegas Strip and the Hoover Dam, and the natural ones, like the Colorado River and the Canyon itself, were so impressive. Seeing them from a helicopter was something our family will never forget. We traveled with a large group and the tour provider was very helpful in making sure were split into helicopters that left at the same time. We were all able to enjoy the views from the bottom of the canyon together. Highly Recommended!
