From the start to the finish we were treated to the most breathtaking experience we have ever experienced. Thank you so much .. the best tour we experienced whilst in the States.Robinson Family ftom Australua.
My wife and I loved our trip to the Grand Canyon, it was a long day but worth every minute. We opted for the Helicopter tour which was worth every cent. It gives you a whole new perspective of the canyon and we still had time to see it from the ground as well. Great tour, highly recommend!
This is really worth it. The downside was it takes 4 hours there and 4 hours back from Las Vegas. Plus the driver was getting tired on the return journey and swerved a few times....
