I took my husband on a surprise trip for his birthday and I could only fit in the Sunset Tour. But I think it was the best of all because after a limo ride you go and see the Grand Canyon during the day and come back at night and see the strip lit up. It was just so fantastic! Coming from South Africa, It was costly but my husband can't stop telling everyone how much I spoilt him and how he enjoyed it!

Starting with the only negative point, the pick up was 30 minutes late. Apart from that, fantastic. Helicopter of a good standard, staff brilliant and trip fantastic. Worth the money and the well worth the late pick-up too! A must if you're that way.

What can I say, if you're debating about this, all I can say is GO FOR IT. It was ABSOLUTELY amazing. Myself and my wife went on both this and the 4-in-1 trip and although both brilliant, this was by far our favourite. You fly to the Grand Canyon and land inside it. You then have a champagne, NOT sparkling wine, picnic and then get back into the helicopter flying back to Vegas as the sun is setting simply amazing sight. Finally, when you get back to Las Vegas, the sun has set so you fly over the strip at night which again is an amazing sight to see and saves on the cost of the night-time helicopter journey. All I can say is that anyone and everyone should go on this trip.

The trip although a bit pricey was brilliant. There were 6 to our helicopter but everybody had a good view. The pickup was on time and we only had a wait of approx 20 minutes in the offices. The pilot was friendly and knowledgeable and interrupted the recorded guide with stories during the trip. The flight back over Vegas lit up at night is a nice ending to the trip.

This was a once in a lifetime experience that I would recommend to all. Our pilot was very accommodating, funny, and informative. The only downside was the weather. It just happened to be one of the few overcast days that they only get about three times per year. But it was still a thrill!

This was a fantastic and quick way to see the Grand Canyon for the first time. A hotel pick-up in a limo got us off to a great start. Our helicopter pilot gave us a great narration of the landmarks we were flying over on our way to the Canyon. Once we landed, we had a decent amount of time for photos before enjoying a great picnic lunch. I recommend this tour above other helicopter tours to the Canyon as during the entire journey back to Vegas, we had a breathtaking view of the sunset which really needs to be seen from up that high to be truly appreciated! And to top it off, our arrival back to Vegas was after sundown, so we got to fly over the spectacular lights of the Strip before landing.

We all thought that the trip was a great experience. I had been before and chose the sunset trip because I had not done that before. I found that aspect of it disappointing as I didn't think there was much difference. I think perhaps sunrise might be better.

It was a once in lifetime adventure. Hopefully we can do it again. The only down side, was we were cramped in the helicopter and we would have liked to have spent more then 30 minutes on the ground. I realize to get a good sunset view we had to be in the air in time but we should have left the airport a little earlier so our time on the ground was not rushed. Oh, the pilot was great.

I took the advice of one of your clients and took the Sunset Tour, which indeed was the best time to see the Grand Canyon and view 'The Strip' at night. Basically, you have 2 trips in 1!
