Doing what: Grand Canyon West Rim Air and Ground Day Trip from Las Vegas with Optional Skywalk
My wife and I enjoyed the air trip from Las Vegas to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was our first time to go to the Grand Canyon and the trip was first rate. Everyone associated with the trip was very personable. Our shuttle driver was very informative and our pilot, Brad, was very friendly and was very competent. He made the trip very enjoyable. The Skywalk was a very impressive engineering feat and the view was absolutely fantastic. The barbecue meal at Guano Point was very good and the view from that location was fantastic. We sure feel like we got our money's worth and would recommend this trip to others.

Doing what: Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam Day Trip from Las Vegas with Optional Skywalk
Experience of a lifetime!! Once in Vegas, would be a total shame to not explore 1 of the 7 wonders of the world! This was our 2nd tour to the Grand Canyon, and this is the tour we highly recommend! From our early morning pickup, to evening drop off, it was the bestest tour ever. Our knowledgeable tour guide had us laughing there and back, and totally informed us of safety concerns!! Enough time also for photo ops and to see the Hoover Dam!! Our 2 traveling companions from England were sooo scared to do the skywalk, they went out about 10 ' they jusy couldn`t go farther, so one of the assisstents on the skywalk, walked them though to the exit side, and they were able to come out about same distance and at least see the other side from the skywalk! We had a choice of 3 lunches! I do have 2 recommendations, Many of us couldn`t remember what time we were leaving on return trip, if a sticker for our clothes was given for us to wear as to what time to be back to the bus area ,, would be great. We unfortunately returned an hour too soon! Also as the girls were so frightened to do the skywalk, They said they may not of been quite so scared IF they could of done the skywalk LAST and not first. We arrive and leave from the skywalk, so would be an awesome choice to make! Breathtaking Tour!!

This was our highlight of our trip. It was all brillaint from hotel pick up, the flight and the whole Grand Canyon experience. One thing the photo's they take at the Skywalk is expensive one for $30 or 5 on a disk for $100.I loved the flight over Lake Mead and Hoover.

I had a blast, I upgraded my trip to include the helicopter ride to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, had a nice leisurely boat tour down the river and back, I took many, many pictures. I will never forget this trip. The scenery was amazing, couldn't have asked for better weather. I highly recommend this trip to everyone. The skywalk only had 3 other people on it when I was having my photo shoot by the Hualapai Indians, they are wonderful people.

Our trip to the Grand Canyon was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday in the USA.
We were picked up by stretch limo at 5.45 am. Went through the check in process and safety procedures at their head office at the airport.
Our pilot was a wonderful young man named Jake and he made us feel very safe and comfortable during our flights to and from the grand canyon. We took off at 7 am and arrived on the banks of the colorado river at 7.45, took a boat ride down the river for about 20 mins and then back into the chopper to go to the top of the canyon. We did our own thing with shuttle buses to different spots. We had the option of doing the skywalk which we did. Then back to the chopper at 11.45 for our return trip. Its capacity was 6 passengers and every body had a turn in the front with Jake. Although the views were excellent in the back too.
Had a blast, its a must do adventure.

It was a very nice and well organized trip. We called a day before to confirm the hotel pick up. Bus was on time, driver was very enterteining and very knowlegeble about the city and surroundings. We got to the main center, got breakfast and from there we went to Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon, there was air conditioning in the busses and we had enough time for all the objectives( we did not spend much time at the rench since there is not much to see there, maybe for people with kids would be a good stop). We had lunch at the second stop at Grand Canyon, it was chicken or pulled pork and mexican vegetables, don't expect a buffet however it was good, hot and enough for a normal person. I was a bit reluctant paying everything through internet, however everything went well and the company prooved itself very serious, one I will reccommend to all my friends. Me and my wife had a great time. Also, we did not do the skywalk because you can't take pictures there and since everyone was next to the building and we basically saw the same thing, I think it was not worth it the extra money for that. The only thing I am sorry about is that we did not have cash to tip the bus driver( we used cards only) he really would have desearved it. His name is KP and made sure we had a very pleasant trip.
All in all great work everyone we were verry happy with the trip.

Excellent tour. Very well organised and our pilot Chris was professional and friendly. Sensational views of both the grand canyon and hoover dam on the plane trip, and definitely much faster than driving.
Something to note about this tour that may not be clear in the description is that after the flight to the canyon, you board buses that take you around the 3 sites - it's not a guided tour. But the buses are well coordinated and timed, and its only about a 5 min bus ride between the destinations, so a tour guide isn't really needed. We had just enough time to see and do what we wanted (including the skywalk) but others on our group who chose to do the helicopter ride to the bottom of the canyon and the boat ride were really pushed for time to get everything done and spend enough time at each location. So something to think about if you're wanting to do it all. Something else to note is that the helicopter flights to the bottom of the canyon can be cancelled if the temperature is about 100 degrees fahrenheit - which happened to other members of our group on the day. So if you want to do the helicopter tour in summer I recommend taking the earlier tours in the morning.
One small issue - we purchased the photo package of the 2 photos of us in front of the plane to be emailed to us and never received them. Still trying to sort that out now but I'm sure it will be resolved over the next week.
All in all it was a fantastic trip and it was definitely worth the extra $ for the flights for the great views and saving time.

We thoroughly enjoyed this day even though it was quite long. If you want to see the grand canyon this is a must. The skywalk was amazing also. Very easy to book through viator and they were the cheapest going around. Tour guide was Thomas and he was really funny and knew a lot about the area.

Absolutely brilliant and great value for money. We went out on th 7am flight so were picked up at 0530! The driver stopped for photo opportunity at vegas sign. Flight company were extremely professional and no waiting queues there. The plane was modern with lots of room, unlike on a previous trip of this kind I took 9 yrs ago. The views from the plane were fantastic, including the Colarado River, Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. It was worth the early start, there were no queues and we were the only people on the skywalk, we were not rushed and were allowed to stay on it until we were ready to leave. The Skywalk was an experience worth doing but there were plenty of other exceptional view points of Grand Canyon available there without having to walk on glass! I recommend you fly and do not drive there; people we met who had driven were moaning about condition of the roads!

Great trip. Very organized. We had a real character for our bus driver. Very knowledgable about Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon and all of Nevada. Made the bus drive a little easier. The Skywalk was a little disappointing. The view was spectacular, but you walk out, wait for your picture to be taken and walk off. Anyway the Grand Canyon is breath taking!!

The pick up in the limo was great and on time.
The organisation at the Helicopter depot was great, the fligjht over the Grand Canyon was breathtaking. The boat ride was a little disappointing as we thought we would have more than a 10 minute ride with no commentary, the person steering the boat did not say anything unless he was asked about the River or the Canyon. The Skywalk was fantastic but were a little disappointed we couldn't take any photos out there. The cultural information was good and the lunch was okay.
All in all we enjoyed this tour greatly. We would recommend it to our friends if they were thinking of visiting the Grand Canyon.
