We had a perfect day (beautiful weather) with our guide Marcus. Pick up at 6.35 at bellagio We took the option helicopter tour (at 1pm after lunch) and it was really worth it flying and landing at the bottom of canyon near the Colorado river) The excursion includes all the essential places : eagle point and the skywalk, guano point of vue, Hoover dam etc . Marcus has organised and taking care of everyone in the group, leading us to the best places and point of view. I definitely recommend this excursion and be lucky if Marcus is your guide!

We had a great day, I’d recommend the helicopter option if you can.
These buses are not designed for ‘big’ people so if your large don’t book then complain about the seating.
Our driver was good and always on time but didn’t engage the passengers a lot and drove a bit quick for my liking.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi David,
Thanks for the review. I wish you had told me the name of the guide. The seating in our SUV's, Vans and Mercedes Mini Coaches are all standard industry sizes. Our guides are a wealth of information and sometimes they'll talk too much. It's a thin line from their perspective. But thank you for the 4 stars. You're the best.
Very best regards,

Helicopter trip was amazing, flying over the rim into the canyon. There were only four people on our tour and this made the experience more personal, we could see everything we wanted to and you weren't hanging around waiting for others. Clayton was a great guide.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Hi Glyn, Thanks for the review. So glad you had a good time with Clayton, he's a blast.

From the moment we got picked up by Lud to the drop off it was a great experience. So glad we selected the addition of the Helicopter experience as well. A most memorable adventure we will not forget. Have to say that our Guide from Adventure Photo Tours was incredible not only for all the knowledge he shared but really the precision of his timing throughout the entire day and making sure we arrived before all the big bus tours and lineups!! Great way to see the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Joshua Tree Forest and so much more. Thank you for a most enjoyable day.
Response from Host, Mar 2024

The helicopter ride was special.Very hesitant to add it on for usual reasons.As usual fear is not reality. Already want to book another copter ride.
Like most reviews Michael as guide is terrific. Managed to make a very long day seem shorter. He knows all the best ways to avoid lines like early lunch.Just listen and he keeps day moving along.
Excellent tour.
joanne_h, Oct 2023
Thank you to Chris for driving us to all the wonderful locations and explaining some of the history. It was an incredible day!
Thank you to Travis for flying us down into the canyon. My husband is still talking about how much it meant to him!
Playing TopGun on the flight out was Perfect! We will recommend this experience to everyone!

Firstly the tour guide was late. Then we had to drive back to the depot for him to fix a seatbelt which then made us late by the time we got to the grand canyon, tickets for entry was a bit of a muck up which then lead us not being able to get out near the rim so couldn't have lunch at the rim as advertised and instead we were taken to a small community to have below average food.
Every time the tour guide would drop us off to look at scenic areas he would gather us around and hardly allow us to wander on our own and would make a snarky comment if we did wander off for free time.
The tour guide has a love for plants and goes on too much about it. We are there to see the Grand Canyon not different types of catcus!
To go on the skywalk is extra and if we did want to go out, we couldn't because we were running out of time.
Overall - Grand Canyon experience is amazing and definitely add the helicopter ride .... just not with this tour company
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you for the review. Customer safety is paramount with our company. I was there when the guide came back and we had the seat belt fixed in 5 minutes and you were on your way. We will check with the other passengers as to how they felt the tour went and I'll get back to you. Not to brag but we get 5 star ratings on this tour all the time so this is certainly of concern.
Although, being as you didn't have a fun day, please contact me next time you come to Las Vegas and I'll do something special for you.
Very best regards,

This really is the best way to visit the canyon. Air conditioned comfortable suv with an experienced tour guide that can give you great facts and information, also timing on arrival that meant we skipped all the queuing and managed to get more stops in at different places.
Michael was an excellent driver and tour guide …. Do as Michael says and you will have the best day !!!
Definitely recommend this trip
