Couldn't have wished it to be any better. It was superb from start to finish.

We did the plane, helicopter, and boat trip a few years ago and really enjoyed it. This trip was fantastic! It was ten times better than we'd hoped for! We got a seat at the front of the helicopter, so we had a panoramic view of the canyon which was breathtaking! The pilot was really friendly and gave us a lot of interesting information about the Canyon. The cowboys at the ranch were ace! Everything was really entertaining; we ate a typical Southwestern meal whilst being entertained. We took the optional horse ride, and I'm so glad we did, I truly felt like I was in a Western movie! The gun fights at the end were fun. I can't imagine doing that five times a day, though. It's a bit more expensive than the other trips, but in my opinion it's definitely worth it!

Great flight, great scenery, great food. Evertything was really well done. Long wait between getting picked up at the hotel and getting in the air, 2 hours from pick up to flight.

This trip was so awesome! The van was a little late picking us up at the hotel, but the staff was very friendly and apologetic. Our pilot was very friendly, knowledgeable, and did his best to make the ride very enjoyable. Our time at the Ranch was also great; very friendly cowboys and great food. Based on other reviews, I expected this trip to run smoothly and it exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this company and this particular trip to anyone looking to get off of the strip for a few hours!

This trip was awesome! Our pilot was great, very friendly and very informative. The flight was great. The ranch was fun too. Breakfast was good but they rush you a bit if you want to do the horse ride as well. Yes, the horse ride was just a gentle walk but it was still a great experience. Only thing I would change would be to lose the cowboy 'shootout' as it gives what is essentially a pretty cool adventure a bit of a theme park feel. Without that, we could either have had a more leisurely breakfast or a longer horse ride. The flight back gives you a great view of Vegas, all the way from downtown right alongside the Strip, back to the airport. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Our whole trip went off without a hitch. From pick up, to weigh in! Hot food was waiting for us at the ranch, the people were lovely and friendly and we were delivered back to the hotel on time and in high spirits. Gorgeous views, definitely worth the money!

First time in helicopter, we absolutely loved it. Everything was explained fully and the pilot was friendly and professional. Ranch and horse riding was novel, but very short. However it was good to eat with the cowboys!! In all, a really good day out.

I'm glad I did it rather than any of the other trips. I would do it again tomorrow. The added horse ride was a bonus and well worth adding to our adventure. The staff gave every opportunity to enable us to enjoy our experience to the fullest.

Fantastic trip, great pilot, and we got the sunrise on the early flight. What more could you ask for? The food and welcome at the ranch just added to what will always be a memorable trip for us.

Really super day, loved the storytelling, etc., at the ranch. Only down-side was sitting in the back of the helicopter, where the view was not so good.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip. We had to be weighed in before we went on the helicopter, which was a bit like a weight-loss center, but after that, the helicopter was fabulous and the ranch experience was ace. We did the horseback riding trip, which was an extra twenty dollars, then went back on the chopper back to the hotel via the strip. Highly recommended!

Perfect day for flight; pilot was very informative and friendly. The ranch experience is a must-see.

It was all very professional. The taxi was on time, the safety briefing was very professional & informative but without going over the top, and everything ran very smoothly. Highly recommended. My only criticism is that we payed for the video, but we didn't realize that the only clips were of us getting into the helicopter and taking off, as the video man did not follow on the journey. However, the video did show a good oversight of the Canyon. Many thanks for a very memorable and lovely day!

This was an excellent trip, well worth the money. The helicopter tour personnel were extremely friendly and accommodating, and the pilot was terrific. The staff on the ranch were just as good.
