My husband and I were in town for our 1 year anniversary ... we landed down by the river and had the champagne and it was the most beautiful scenery and sights we have seen.
We had the best pilot, I'm thinking it was Mitch . He was so knowledgeable and had a great personality and even had great music.
This was a really great tour and would highly recommend for a lifetime memory.

What an amazing trip this was. Our guide Gia was sooooo knowledgeable and such good fun. The Canyon itself was simply WOW. We did the sky walk and decided to add the helicopter and boat to our day and I can honestly say it was worth every penny.
We will absolutely be back to Vegas and will use this company again.
