I enjoyed the beautiful sights but eat before you go or bring you a snack. The food at Eagles point was expensive and it wasn't much food for the price and it didn't taste that good. The Skywalk was an ok experience but I wish I could have taken my own photos. My pictures that they took sucked I only got one for $27 or the package for $55. My photos looked dark to the bottom and brighter up top. Definitely not worth the price but then again it's a tourist attraction.The sight seeing was definitely worth it! Stay hydrated

The scenery is magnificent, but our biggest regret is that it's impossible to take photos on the skywalk, as phones and cameras are forbidden, so the only way to get a souvenir is to pay $25 a photo. Really expensive!

We missed our shuttle the first time around and were able to reschedule without any issues. (So be sure to call in and check to get the exact time you will be picked up from the hotel.) All the staff were very friendly and our pilot David was very entertaining. The plane-tour itself was awesome with incredible views. We would definitely recommend it! :)

The helicopter trip was absolutely amazing and the staff were fantastic. Our only issue was that we never received any update about pick up times/details from our hotel so were under the assumption the package started at 0800 (4hr package for 70min flight with no other times stipulated). It turns out that 0800 was our flight time, so we missed our pick up and nearly missed the experience! Not sure why we never received any confirmation of the pick up time, but that definitley needs to be rectified for future guests.

This was the highlight of our Las Vegas holiday. Everything went as planned, no hitches & even the weather was ideal. We took an early morning flight, and after being picked up at the time specified from our hotel we were taken to our helicopter. We met our knowledgeable pilot, learned so much from him. Fantastic trip!

We took a tour of the Grand Canyon with Papillon during our visit to Las Vegas. We'd never been to the Grand Canyon before, and this was DEFINITELY the way to see it! The pilot was super friendly and explained everything that was happening and what we were seeing, and she had a great sense of humor, made the ride really fun. Got to see Lake Meade and the Hoover Dam from above as well as views of the canyon that we never would have gotten any other way. Wonderful experience!

Booked this for my fiancé' birthday. Was absolutely brilliant! Everything was well organised from the limo picking us up to checking in and getting us on the helicopter. Our pilot Fred was brilliant very jokey and informative. We were in one of the newer helicopters which was comfortable with big windows so could see no matter where you sat. Had a lovely champagne breakfast when we landed in the cannon. The only negative I have is you have to pay an extra 50 per person when you check in. Think with the amount you pay for the trip anyway this wasn't necessary. But I would strongly reccomend doing this, the views of the strip and cannon are unbelievable. Both of us absolutely loved this trip.

Grand Canyon ToursGrand Canyon West Rim Tours

Grand Canyon West Rim tours: Discover the adventurous side of the canyon

Much closer to Las Vegas than the other sections of the Grand Canyon, the West Rim is a popular day trip destination for vacation goers at Sin City. Its main draw, however, is its iconic attractions like the Skywalk and Guano Point. Here’s an all-inclusive guide to everything you can do at West Rim, including boat rides, floor-landings with picnics, bus tours, and more!

Things to know before booking your West Rim tour

  • The West Rim is about 2.5 hours from Las Vegas by road and is more accessible for a shorter trip compared to the South Rim.
  • Decide how long you want to spend on your Grand Canyon tour. If you want to go on a quicker tour, opt for the floor landing tour which will take about 4 hours in total. In case you don’t mind spending a fun day at the canyon, take a bus tour that will last up to 10 hours.
  • Apart from general admission tickets, you can also find tours with round-trip transfers from Las Vegas. These will save you the hassle of planning your way to the West Rim.
  • Now find out what are the must-do experiences at the canyon for you. Choose from bus tours, boat rides, champagne picnics on the canyon floor, and more.
  • Some tours include additional activities at an extra fee like the Grand Canyon Skywalk or visits to other cultural sites. In case these are on your bucket list, be sure to pick the packages with those inclusions on your checkout page.

The scenery is magnificent, but our biggest regret is that it's impossible to take photos on the skywalk, as phones and cameras are forbidden, so the only way to get a souvenir is to pay $25 a photo. Really expensive!

The helicopter trip was absolutely amazing and the staff were fantastic. Our only issue was that we never received any update about pick up times/details from our hotel so were under the assumption the package started at 0800 (4hr package for 70min flight with no other times stipulated). It turns out that 0800 was our flight time, so we missed our pick up and nearly missed the experience! Not sure why we never received any confirmation of the pick up time, but that definitley needs to be rectified for future guests.

Hopping on the chopper was the best experience of my life. I am usually a little giddy up in the air, but the pilot and co-pilot were super friendly and helped distracting me.

The ticketing experience was bad. The $717 charge didn't go through the first time I tried. When I did get it to work I was charged $838, instead of the $717. Still waiting for a credit.

The pilot was very professional and friendly. The ride was very smooth and this comes from someone who does not tolerate any type of turbulence. The take off and landing were very smooth. I sat in the front seat and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. My only complaint was that we had to wait 1 hour before our flight. This cut into the time we had for our bus tour. We had to skip on the sky walk in order to catch our return bus. But the helicopter ride was far better .
