5.00Exceeded my ecxpectations. They were very organized. It was very windy, but I felt like I was in great hands. And I have a fear of heights and I never looked away. There is no better way to see the Grand Canyon.
Safety is a concern

4.00SO glad we booked this!! Beautiful view and friendly pilots. Wish audio had taught more. One of our 3 family members became ill morning of 4pm flight, so we called right away to let airline know (understanding no refund b/c within 24hrs) — remaining 2 went as scheduled . . . wish there had been some other option offered like a voucher or copy of flight video.
A Grand Experience!!!

5.00While visiting the Grand Canyon, we knew we wanted to do a fly over via helicopter or plane and landed on the plane option as the overall more appealing based on the experience we wanted (slightly cheaper, longer at 40ish minutes, and higher in the air). We didn’t have an advanced reservation but the checking was easy and we were able to book for the last flight of the day. Heading to checking in, we met the lead pilot Sam, who went out of his way to not only greet us, but engage in genuine conversation. What a chill and awesome dude! There wasn’t a need to ease our nerves (though he would have been fantastic at that as well) but he got us hyped for the experience, knowing it my be our only opportunity to see the canyon from this perspective. The flight itself was smooth and awe-inspiring. Walking around the rim give you a tiny idea of the canyon but there’s nothing like having a bird’s eye view. I’m SO glad we decided to splurge on this excursion and I highly recommend it. Sam and the copilot Steven did an amazing job and really helped the experience stand out. I can say enough good things about them and how they made the experience truly memorable with genuine friendliness and charm.
Once In a Lifetime

5.00Absolutely worth the money spent! If you're looking to see the Grand Canyon in all its glory within 45minutes, this is your perfect opportunity. Seeing the Canyon from heights very few will get to see made this experience truly one of a kind. If you have to choose between this or the helicopter, choose this instead. Speaking from someone who has flown over Alaska in a Helicopter, nothing compares to a solo window seat in a plane. This is a much smoother/"safer" option in my opinion. VERY smooth ride. My flight from FL to AZ had more turbulence than this which was a pleasant surprise. If you're anxious in anyway, go for it! I do wish that the directions for the airport were a bit more clear as I ended up in the wrong "building/terminal". The address basically leads you to the Grand Canyon airport (which is small) but doesn't specify which building (there's about 3-4). However, the staff were helpful to wave to me from outside so I could find the correct building. Would recommend this to anyone and would do again if I wasn't solo!
Really nice tour

5.00Fantastic tour! Sean was very good- friendly, positive, and knowledgeable. The tour was short enough to be enjoyable, long enough to feel worth it. We would highly recommend!

5.00The aerial tour was absolutely breathtaking. The tour had to cancel our original booking time due to some timing issues but offered us optional times and we able to keep that time and turned out to be a beautiful day. Loved the history, learned more about the Grand Canyon.
