Grand Canyon with Helicopter - We had Duane as our coach driver and tour guide. He was absolutely outstanding with his knowledge and generosity. He went above and beyond the entire day and I would recommend him, along with Gray Line services any day. Unfortunately, at the conclusion of the day we were unable to tip Duane because we did not have any cash on us. We would have loved to have done so. Maybe an improvement to this service could be the use of a payWave/eftpos facility in order to tip the driver/tour guide. Duane was worthy of a generous tip today. Thank you very much.

Grand Canyon Helicopter Ride was A+ - The trip to the Grand Canyon + helicopter ride were literally awesome; the people who ran the tour were all courteous and professional. The helicopter pilot was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the Canyon...this was an amazing trek.

Great experience but plan it out. - Bus was clean and cool very comfortable. Our driver, Mike, was great. Very knowledgeable, accommodating and fun. The business late but that was out of their control. Other riders were late or making changes.
I would not recommend trying to pull off both a helicopter ride and skywalk, you will be rushed.
The helicopter ride to the canyon floor was amazing!

We’ll definitely be back with our 2 boys on October 2025 - Thank you Prince & Brendo ( our tour guides & bus drivers) for such an unforgetable experience ! Prince is very well versed of the area, from Las Vegas to Arizona. He kept us well informed of popular hotels and landmarks history. I’ve learned so much of the area in 1 day. Prince is perfect for the job with such a calming voice for the weary tourists. Brendo is nice & friendly too.
We’re from Great Britain, felt sorry for not bringing any cash with us to tip them. Wish we can use our bankcards or apple pay to show them our gratitude. Don’t worry guys we’ll be back in October 2025 with our boys and we’ll definitely do a helicopter ride again + bus tour in Grand Canyon

Amazing trip ‼️ - What at amazing tour ! Helicopter ride is expensive but it’s well worth it. Our pilot is very polite, friendly, very well versed and above all handsome 😄 neat and presented himself well. Very good for pictures
With regards to our bus ride, Prince - our driver & tour guide is very friendly, polite & his voice is soothing like listening to a good radio broadcaster on a night programme “ don’t be that guy” is his most popular & witty remarks that stick to all his passengers. Brendo, our main driver on the other hand is also helpful, friendly & drives smoothly. We were well looked after these two. We are tourists from England and it’s just a shame we didn’t bring our cash with us that day for tips. I would happiest give them tips if we could only use our bank card

Very misleading description and disappointed. - Bad communication with pick up point, rude bus driver, told our names not listed. Bus left, we paid $ 55 to get a taxi to next pick up only to find same bus and driver. We were not told lunch had to be obtained from to 2 look out points, so missed out on lunch. The 20 minute helicopter ride is actually 6 minutes, 15 min is spent standing in heat for photos but best part of the tour, and not sure what river entrance was because we did not get close to any water.
