- Jenny LondonoI think this was the best part of our trip! The view from the helicopter was amazing. The pilot was very informative and professional. He flew us over Boulder City, the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the Grand Canyon, and the Las Vegas Strip. Everything we wanted to see in a reasonable amount of time. It was awesome. We enjoyed this trip very much and highly recommend it to everyone.read moreread less
- Betty HopkinsOutstanding! The service to and from, the tour, the scenery and the pilot and everyone involved were all top notch. If you want a really great experience this is the company to choose. My husband has mobility issues but they were so good about helping him in and out and getting him to and from the helicopter. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Grand Canyon Helicopter Tours.read moreread less
- kim richieThis trip was in celebration of my 60th birthday and I couldn’t have been more pleased. GC Flights was super easy to work with, so much so that they even accommodated a last minute request to change the day of our reservation so that we were guaranteed the best weather possible that weekend. Briac, our pilot, was super nice and informed. The flight was delightful. The shuttle service takes you to three interesting stops with plenty of buses running to pick and choose the length of time you spend at each. I suggest spending little time at the second stop (it’s a staged old western town like a movie set) to have more time at the last stop Guano Point. All six members of my party were thrilled with this outing.read moreread less
- Dune JohnsonThe trip was a bucket list for me, but my wife just came along because she wanted to let me have my experience. However, she now raves about how the experience changed her life!!! When we landed in the Valley of Fire and could see millions-of-years-old ocean fossils under our feet, it was an amazing experience of this human adventure on this amazing planet! The whole thing was an amazing experience. Definitely worth the money.read moreread less
- Amy McCarthyThis was such a fun experience! The staff was professional, polite and enthusiastic! Our pilot, Mike, was so friendly and informative. This was our first experience in a helicopter and it was fantastic. So much fun seeing the Grand Canyon and Hoover fam from the air. Our driver that picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off was Miko and he was funny, polite and a great conversationalist. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone heading to Las Vegas.read moreread less
