We really enjoyed the trip. The heli firm were very professional and the helicopter ride from Vegas was amazing. So was the ride through the Grand Canyon, but no sooner had we arrived it was over. There was definitely not enough time in the Canyon. The ranch was really disappointing. They were not professional, made sexist comments and what they did was corny! Singing George Formby does not really fit in with a ranch! The gun battle was also corny. However, they were generally friendly and told some interesting stories. It could have been so much better. I would never recommend anyone to go to the ranch unless they improved it.

Great trip, everything was perfectly organized. Grand Canyon is beautiful and worth this money. Two things I would recommend to add to this offer is going to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and organize a small trip near the ranch.

Very friendly pilot and a real good adventure which is worth the price. The only thing I have to claim is, that Viator told me it would be a stretch limousine pick up but it was only a van. But I can totally recommend it!!!

A really good and enjoyable trip. Friendly staff and a pilot who was not only very knowledgeable about the trip but seemed to enjoy telling us about what we were seeing. The only slight complaint we have is that although the ranch experience was good, as was the lunch, if you didn't go on a horse ride there was little else to do for an hour or so. If we went again I think we would choose a trip that went to the 'Rim' instead.

The pilot gave us loads of information flying to the Grand Canyon. The cowboy was rude while on the wagon to the ranch because he felt no one was listening to him because there where foreign people talking. Otherwise, the experience was great; a little rushed on the food to get ready for the next group coming in.

I enjoyed my first helicopter flight and the ranch experience was great but wish we had landed in the Grand Canyon itself, as we didn't really get a good impression of its majesty.

Well worth doing. From hotel pick up to the cowboys on ranch everyone was professional and friendly. Unfortunately it had snowed so we unable to do wagon or horse rides at ranch but still the helicopter ride was amazing. The pilot was very informative and friendly and showed us many great things, would recommend highly and would do again.

I've wanted to see the Grand Canyon for a long time, and I wasn't disappointed with this trip. The pilot was really nice and answered all of our questions. It was well worth booking the ranch adventure. All of the cowboys were very charming. One serenaded us all while we sat down to a lovely meal. I left wishing we had booked a couple of nights stay at the ranch. Everyone at the tour company made the day one of the best days of our trip to Vegas. I will remember it as a great day and have already recommended it to anyone who will listen.

It was a good day out but I was a little mislead from the advertisement. I have been to the Grand Canyon before and was told that there was a working ranch at the bottom of the canyon so when I booked this trip I thought that we would fly to the bottom of the canyon giving us opportunity to take photo's from the bottom looking up. Unfortunately, we only flew over the Canyon for about 10 minutes then we landed at a ranch a few miles off the rim of the canyon. Worth doing but I think the description of the trip should be changed.

This tour was fantastic even if the pilot was a bit of a top gun type without the looks. All in all, loved the tour and would do it over any day.

We have lived in Vegas for almost 7 years now and wanted to see things from a different perspective. The helicopter trip was awesome and very informative - even the views of the Strip at the end of the tour were very different than what you see every day from I-15. The Ranch was OK, it was more of a relaxing break than what I would call an adventure. The horse walk was an added expense my wife opted not to do it because they don't let the horses go any faster than a slow walk. The staff at the ranch was great, they took my 5 year old around the place on the back of a horse at no charge! Overall a very good trip.

The helicopter flight was great with a good guide. The ranch could have been better organised. After we were fed we were left to our own devices. Would have been better if the ranch guides had an organised program. The horse rides are extra.

I enjoyed the breathtaking views, friendly people, and beautiful horses. However, there seemed to be a constant time pressure and a desire to get people out of the ranch on time. Which was understandable, but unpleasant.

This was a great flight with commentary by the pilot. The people at the ranch were great, and brunch was terrific. I went horse riding with real cowboys and loved it. I even saw a gunfight! I would recommend it. The company was very professional and took great care of us.

It's an amazing experience but make sure the helicopter has air con before getting in as you are in there a long time and it's extremely hot. Fantastic trip, well worth the money. Something you'll never forget or experience anywhere else.
