Great experience - Bus driver Mike was really funny, thorough and informative.
Helicopter pilot Caleb was super calming, which I needed because I was freaking out from the heights. He had a really nice playlist too.
Native American food at stop 3 was really yummy. Chicken tacos and fry bread (with honey and powdered sugar).
Views were amazing!

Excellent day well worth the money. Stunning views! - Excellent day out with amazing views, this trip,was spot on and good value the coach trip was long but broken up with a good rest stop.
The Grand Canyon was amazing and the skywalk (not for the faint hearted ) was brilliant. The food was good and sat eating at the top of the Canyon with stunning views was an added bonus.
Topped off with the helicopter ride into the Canyon, made for a perfect day.

An incredible day out! - A fantastic day and very competitive pricing for all the experiences! The only hitch was a problem with the bus which caused the driver more concerns than us. The helicopter ride was amazing - the highlight of our visit - would recommend this tour to anyone!

Trip was rushed and... - Trip was rushed and driver made (us) stick to a strict time line while he wasted time talking to associates along the route eating away at our time. And we where told we could leave things on bus during tour, but when we returned our bags of chips (unopened) where gone.

Thanks for the day WE WILL NEVER FORGET... - The trip should have been amazing but we were littered with multiple game changing events...
1. 2 passengers missed the bus and we had to go back and pick them back up.
2. Included water was not included, apparently not restocked.
3. It was extremely busy the day we were there and fortunate we hadn't purchased the s Skywalk. Would definitely recommend 1 or the other.
4. We were instructed to return to the bus by 1 to leave at 1:30. There were 5 passengers that that were over 2 hours late, holding up the bus and inconveniencing us all.
5. We finally get on the way to Hoover Dam and we blow a tire on the freeway.
6. Sat on the side of the road for a while before being instructed to drive slow to the Hoover Dam to have the tire changed.
7. Finally returned to Vegas at 7:30 pm.
8. The toilet was locked because apparently it hadn't been cleaned...
The positives...
We opted for the helicopter landing which was absolutely amazing and well worth it!
Duane was our driver and guide. He picked up his He is very knowledgeable did an outstanding job entertaining us throughout the voyage, maintaining his composer during the tough times, and implementing leadership skills throughout. Thanks for day WE WILL
NEVER FORGET, for all the laughs, and most importantly for getting us back safe.
Thank you Duane!
