We had a great trip with Canyon Tours last week. Our pilot was funny and put us at ease. He pointed out all the sights and filled us in on what we were seeing. We paid a little extra to get the front seats and I’m so glad we did. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

Excellent experience from beginning to end. Olivia, our tour guide was very knowledgeable. She kept us engaged and it was evident she enjoys what she does. Our bus driver, Chen, was also great. Thanks for a memorable day!

My girlfriend and I took a helicopter tour to see the Grand Canyon while in Vegas. The views were incredible, and the pilot was very informative, though the cabin got unbearably hot because the air vents weren’t working. Despite that, the company handled the issue well, compensated us. Definitely worth it for the sights and the story.
