I truly memorable experience throughout the day. Started with the helicopter over the Grand Canyon, Lake Mead and the Strip before the river raft along the Colorado River. Our guides Sam (helicopter) and Kyle (raft) were both very knowledgable about the area and pointed out key sights. Would highly recommend doing this tour when in Vegas
Excellent

The overall tour was great but the ‘emerald cave’ which you have to queue for over an hour to get in to, was so disappointing. To call it a cave is a joke, it’s an alcove at best and the have to queue for such an underwhelming experience was ridiculous, we could have had an hours more kayaking down the river - which our guide told us was way nicer to look at beyond the point we visited.
