An absolutely brilliant excursion from start to finish. From information, pick up tour it’s self right to the end, just amazing. The lady that booked us in was so helpful. Our pilot Mike was so good at relaxing everyone and his information and humour was worth the trip itself. Absolutely first class and the scenery…just jaw dropping. This tour is a must and well worth flying from the UK to Vegas and taking this unforgettable tour which we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you all.

This was an amazing experience. The pilot was very informative, polite, and friendly. The views from the helicopter were amazing. This was definitely a bucket list experience.

It’s a lot of walking! It is hot and drink lots of water. Sunshades a must and cap is nice to have. It’s a beautiful place!!

Absolutely phenomenal ride through the West Rim of the Grand Canyon! Our pilot, Sam was awesome, and gave us a very smooth "float" through the canyon walls. That is the best way to view the national landmark!
Christopher_H, Jan 2026
The Grand Canyon itself was amazing but much better in the helicopter 🚁... this tour you got to do both.... Michaela was amazing.... I would request her as you pilot
Jameson_C, Dec 2025
Flying over the Grand Canyon is the best way to appreciate its vastness. We did that, walked over the Skywalk, and ended at Guano Point (which is better than the Skywalk!). David was an informative and funny pilot. Highly recommend the trip.
Chanelle_W, Dec 2025
Had a great time! Something to know is this takes you to the west rim which is Native American lands, not the national park. Still lovely and not crowded. Michaela was our pilot and she was fantastic. Only reason why I gave it 4 stars and not 5, is the timing seemed incorrect. This was not a 7 hour tour and we did not have the amount of time listed in each location.

Amazing! Awesome! Great friendly service! Unforgettable experience! Thoroughly recommend! Please do it!
Cathy_C, Oct 2025
If getting picked up at Las Vegas Hotel the meet time is a good hour and half eariler than what the ticket says. Ticket time is flight time NOT meet time. Almost missed the tour. Advise calling to find out what time to meet.
MADELEINE_V, Oct 2025
Spectacular scenery,very friendly pilot with lots of knowledge.The skywalk was smaller than anticipated.
Loved the whole experience
Ray_H, Oct 2025

I would highly recommend !!
Simran_S, Sep 2025
Amazing experience. Well paced - no rush. Mitch is a very experience pilot and kept sharing lots of stories on the way. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Stephanie_C, Sep 2025
Evan our pilot was amazing! Pointed out things along the way. Made sure we understood where to be and times to meet back. Check in was easy and friendly. It’s expensive but worth every penny!!! One of the coolest things I have ever done!! Don’t miss it
Sharon_J, Sep 2025
It was well timed and well organised. We were picked up from our hotel at 7.30am for a 9am flight. We got to the canyon at 9.45am after flying over the hoover dam. The viewing spots and skyward were breathtaking. We had plenty of time to explore, then flew back at 12.45pm. We were back at the hotel at around 3pm. Best trip of our life. Can not recommend enough!
Chris_L, Jul 2025
We did this back in March 2025 and from the moment we got picked up by Frank and dropped off it was very easy and professional. We had a wonderful experience with our pilot Mike P., he was very knowledgeable and fun with all the passengers. I would definitely recommend this company and this pilot to others.
Kellee_B, Jul 2025
Definitely one to cross off the bucket list! From start to finish it was fantastic. The views at both Eagle Point and Guano are breathtakingly beautiful. Even with a high level of tourist activity you can find a moment of peace & quiet just to take in something awe inspiring. The helicopter ride was amazing. A really good amount of time in the air taking different routes to the canyon & then back to Boulder. Absolutely amazing terrain to fly over. Evon, our pilot was fantastic, great with the history & facts & pointing out interesting things we flew over. He provided a very smooth ride with a fantastic background music playlist. A fantastic day, well worth the expense for the experience

Awesome experience, wonderful scenery and staff were excellent at making the trip very memorable. Trip was good value for money.
Lisa_E, Feb 2025
Very disappointed was told it was 6 hour experience and supposed to be a sunset flight we were back by 3
Was told 3 hours to wonder round Grand Canyon only to be told 2 1/2 hours and rushed didn’t see it all there is people taking photos at the sky walk so your there ages waiting time
Was really looking forward to it as this was the reason for our holiday to vegas really and £1000 for 2 people very disappointed I was stuck in the middle of the helicopter as I had fat people with us and had to balance the helicopter 😢

Great day, and great tour guides. Everything was on time and perfectly planned, it made for a seamless trip. My only unenjoyable aspect was the Sky Walk (which is no discredit to the tour providers at all but the Sky Walk company itself)
The skywalk was a waste of money paying for the ticket. They take your phones before you go on and then assign you a photographer to take pictures. At the end of the day you can purchase the pictures but they are the only memories you’d have available of the day.
Despite the money grab it was also crowded with 5 other photographers taking groups on the sky walk so you could enjoy the serenity or view. There is a free view right next to the skywalk which is 10x better.
Still a great day and no sour taste left just don’t book the Skywalk.
JENNI_D, Oct 2024
The helicopter to and from with Leah were fantastic and truly the highlight of the day. We did the skywalk and wished we hadn’t. The line was so ridiculous and there weren’t buses to head to the next stop so when we got to the next stop-Guana Point-we only had 10min before we had to head back to the heli. We never even had time to grab lunch. So skip the skywalk!!!
Sharon_B, Oct 2024
Spectacular experience!
From the hotel pick-up to drop off, the timing was smooth and precise. The logistics at the terminal went very efficiently. Our pilot was absolutely fantastic! Time spent at the Canyon was worth every penny! Breathtaking views. The helicopter experience was phenomenal. Highly recommend. Best money ever spent.
Norman_T, Oct 2024
The helicopter ride, the skywalk experience, and Guano Point were amazing. I highly recommend Viator’s Tours!!
Clive_W, Sep 2024
Amazing helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon. Fantastic views and a very instructive pilot. Skywalk was also extremely good.
malcolm_p, Sep 2024
The helicopter experience for sure and the Grand Canyon sky walk were the best parts. The tour started at 09.00 from Boulder City but then they give you a map at check in that states you have to get the 12.15 bus back to the airport strip to get the 12.45 helicopter back to Boulder City . There wasn’t enough time roughly an hour and then 45 mins at the other places . They don’t take into account having to queue for everything like the skywalk and the buses which all take time . I wouldn’t recommend for the price of it .
Nicole_M, Aug 2024
The helicopter experience was fantastic! The shuttles to and from the Vegas hotels were not great. The first shuttle picked up way too early and we ended up being 1 1/2 early for the flight. When we landed, we waited for another hour for several more flights to land to fill a tour bus. It took another 2 hours to drop everyone off at their hotels before we got to ours. Good thing we didn’t have tickets to a show that night!
Patrick_P, Jul 2024
Superb trip, that covers the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and a significant portion of the Grand Canyon. Flying over it shows just how huge it is.it
Our pilot, Ken, was super knowledgeable about the various spots and natured a safe, comfortable flight.
Also, Emma, at guest service, was very kind and helpful. Altogether highly recommended.
Mary_J, Jun 2024
Not being able to see as we dropped into the canyon…not over the person in front or around was disappointing . So much for your weight policy. I weigh 129 & am 5’2”. I did have a heavy bag I could have scooted anywhere. Therefore I was disappointed in my trip over. While there, the Skywalk was great! Dylan was the pilot and he really enjoyed the people up in front with him. So glad! I won’t waste money like that anymore.
Gill_L, May 2024
Brilliant! Very well organised. Our pilot Cole was very friendly. We were in a group of 6 in our helicopter. The views of the Canyon are breathtaking. We did the optional Skywalk but don’t feel it’s necessary as you can get better views at Guano point. Would definitely recommend.
Angela_O, Apr 2024
An amazing day! Everything so well organised. The pilot of our helicopter was so friendly and helpful and he was ver knowledgeable. The views were breathtaking!
Claire_C, Apr 2024
Brilliant pilot. Great knowledge of area. The canyon is just so beautiful. Well worth the money. Time might be tight to eat so would suggest snacks only.
