The trip was absolutely great!! We are from Europe and we booked everything per Internet without any experience with the life in US. But everything was on the time, the staff, especially our pilot was excellent. We were first on the sky walk and had a lot of time to walk by the Canyon and also by the river. Excellent trip in wonderful country with great people!

The trip was very good. I definitely would recommend the earliest departure as its very hot, especially down by the river on the pontoon ride -- well over 110 degrees with little shelter. Because it was early we managed to see everything. Basically there are shuttle buses every 10 mins. taking you from the Grand Canyon to the various points of interest. Comfy shoes are a must as this is rough terrain. We had plenty of time on the Skywalk. We paid an additional fee for this amazing experience. I'm glad we didn't miss this, as the views spectacular. You aren't allowed to take your own camera on the Skywalk, but I was aware of this before we went. Official photos are $33.00 but worth it. My only gripe is about the return trip: waiting at the airport at the Grand Canyon to get back to Boulder City and again waiting at Boulder City for transport back to the hotel took forever. Except for that everything else was great.

This is the only way to see the Canyon: from top to bottom. The combination of plane, helicopter and boat was just perfect. It was thrilling from beginning to end.

Apart from the people who pushed in front and didn't share the front seat of the helicopter, this was a good tour.

On arrival at the Bolder airport after a long drive from Las Vegas we were met by very attentive staff who put us at ease. When called for our flight we were told there was a problem, the fixed wing plane was over-booked we would be in a helicopter for the whole trip. We had a very informative and breathtaking flight to land in the Grand Canyon. The scenery en route was spectacular and the sheer size of the canyon was difficult to comprehend - without experiencing it. After a trip on the river we ascended to the rim and enjoyed the culture of the Indian Reservation and the lunch we had there. Our trip back to the airport was also excellent. We were ecstatic about flying in the helicopter for the whole trip.

We had a wonderful day! This was a truly exhilarating experience which I would not hesitate to recommend. Leaving early for the tour also meant that we had the Grand Canyon to ourselves - or at least to a small group of us. Thanks to our pilot for his expert handling of the plane. This is one to be repeated.

You fit a lot into a short time with a slick and well coordinated trip in a spectacular setting. Loved it.

Walking on the rim of the canyon is one the best experiences of my life. The day was great from start to finish.

It was awesome! Very good value. All staff were extremely pleasant. The afternoon trip was a good choice as we saw the sunset over the canyon on our return flight.

I highly recommend it. I am absolutely scared of heights, but after getting over the initial shock of the small plane, then the helicopter flying off over the canyon, this was one of the best experiences that I have ever had. I even went as far as doing the Skywalk. But mind you, I stuck to the edges & didn't venture to the middle of the Skywalk. But at the end of the day, I did it. A brilliant trip. Staff associated with this tour were extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for you.

My wife and I really loved this trip. The helicopter and boat ride were particularly fab. Our boat's skipper was very entertaining. I wouldn't bother with the Skywalk again, it was just to say we had done it that we went on. The food was somewhat suspect also, not entirely sure what it was supposed to be, but this didn't detract from a fabulous day.
