1.00Adventure Photo Tours rang a week before to advise they couldn’t get a helicopter- we booed 6 months ago! Changed tour to the following day and agreed to provide pick up time the day before. Didn’t hear anything so chased it and they said they couldn’t do the tour at all. After expressing my disappointment they managed to book us onto a large group tour and booked the helicopter (which allegedly they had already booked us on). They cancelled on Viator and process the refund and took payment over the phone for the new trip. It all worked out ok in the end and the trip was amazing but I would have been gutted if we couldn’t do it as that was the reason for the trip more than Vegas itself. I would recommend booking with Sweetours who accommodated us with 12 hours notice.
Excellent Day Trip with Earl!

5.00We had a great experience with Earl! He was very in knowledgable and so kind to our family on our tour yesterday. He was patient with our kids and took time to answer their questions. He joined us for lunch and Eagle Point and we enjoyed his company. Earl had so many wonderful recommendations, down to where we should have dinner after our tour with our kids. We took his recommendation and loved eating at the Peppermill for our last dinner in Las Vegas for the week. Earl felt like part of our family yesterday and it was clear that everyone feels that way about him. He knew everyone at all our stops by name and they knew him too. We will look for a tour with Earl on our next trip to Vegas.

5.00If you a looking for the perfect tour, this is it. "Captain" Kirk was our guide and he was amazing!. He was friendly and informative. He knew all the best places to see and even pointed us to the restaurant we ended up having dinner at (it was excellent as well). If you are looking for an effortless and memorable tour of some of the most iconic spots in the US this is it! Thank you Kirk!

5.00We had a superb day visiting The Grand Canyon, our guide Clayton was very knowledgeable and supplied all we needed for the journey. The helicopter ride topped off an amazing day and a great thumbs up to Maverick Helicopters who provided the thrill of the canyon ride, including a stop at the bottom of the canyon. I would recommend this if you can as the view from the bottom truly shows the scale of the canyon.

4.00We paid extra for the helicopter which was fabulous. The Grand Canyon is amazing and so beautiful. The bus was comfortable and only 7 of us, which was great. Snacks, unlimited water and lunch was good. Art was informative and knowledgeable.
Enjoy with the family

5.00“The snack bar at Hotel Casa Granda has become a must for those who value good service and quality. With an always attentive and friendly team, the service stands out for its efficiency and warmth. Offers are varied and carefully selected, from light options to more elaborate combinations, all presented carefully. This space not only satisfies the palate, but also invites you to enjoy a pleasant moment with privileged views of the heart of Santiago de Cuba."
Wonderful Grand Canyon

5.00It’s a long day with an early start but well worth it. Snacks and water provided all day as well as lunch which was quite early. We would have liked to explore the Hoover Dam more but all in all had an amazing trip. Our guide - Art - was very knowledgeable
Simply amazing - Clayton is awesome

5.00This was the best thing I have ever done, Clayton was simply amazing and such a great guy with heaps of knowledge. He needs a pay raise after such a fantastic day he gave us. Anyone reading this, book and get Clayton!! Loved him and the company made it seamless from pickup to drop off…thanks so much for an amazing time
