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

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
The best way to see the Grand Canyon

Captain Kirk is an awesome tour guide! Grand Canyon West Rim Small Group Tour

5.00Glad we did the combined Grand Canyon West Rim small group tour with helicopter flight and not just the Grand Canyon helicopter flight, the land component of the tour provides for smaller groups instead of a big bus group and is more personal and you get to see so much more. Captain Kirk is an awesome tour guide. We learnt so much from Kirk from the moment he picked us up until he dropped us off, he was a wealth of knowledge and information. This tour included breakfast (pastry, cheese and juice), unlimited bottled water and various snacks throughout the day and lunch at Hualapai Point. Lunch was awesome, the fry bread was yummy, the Hualapai Taco was amazing. Kirk was also very happy to take photos of you at all the scenic view points. Online booking was a breeze, communication via email was great with very prompt replies. Pick-up was on time, actually pick-up was early, but so were we 😁 Highly recommend this tour, we've already recommended this tour to our friends, family and random people we met in Las Vegas. The helicopter tour was also amazing, review completed via Maverick Helicopters.
10/10 recommend!
