A little disappointed with the experience at the Ranch. We felt there should be more of an exciting attraction, not sure what, but we were a little bored. Otherwise had the best time ever and would highly recommend this tour.

The food was really good. The experience was simply great! The Grand Canyon is naturally breathtaking, we even passed by the SkyWalk. My husband and ten year old child went horseback riding. My second child wanted to go too, but since he was not ten years old, which was required for a horse ride, she couldn't. Still, the staff gave him a ride on a horse just around the grounds for free! It was nice of them! The tour was enough for our packed day. When we arrived at 2:30 p.m. at our hotel, we still had plenty of time to do other things like rest, shop, and then watch a show that evening.

We both enjoyed our trip, and the memories will stay with us forever. If you do it, it's worth staying overnight at the ranch.

I can honestly say that this was the best part of my whole holiday; it was one of the best things myself and my partner have ever done. The pilot was lovely and put us both at ease. The ranch and horse riding were brilliant. We didn't want it to end. When we go back to Vegas, we will definitely do this again!

Loved the experience, the Grand Canyon itself was everything we expected it to be but what helped make the day so special for us was the way we were treated well by all, from the friendly bus driver to the very kind and helpful receptionist and the professionalism of the helicopter pilots. I took the opportunity to propose to my girlfriend at the ranch and we were congratulated by one of the cowboy guides who later re-appeared with a guitar and sang 'True Love Ways' for us. Utterly unforgettable so a special thank you to him. Next time we come back to Las Vegas we will certainly use you again.

It was truly amazing to see and the staff, especially our pilot, were great! He was awesome and handsome as well. It was well worth the money, and we will be back to go again with friends next time.

The reviews were right on the money -- this was the best thing we did in Las Vegas. Horseback riding was fun (the ride was great). Everyone was friendly. Highly recommend this trip.

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.
