Robert and Chris made the whole trip feel like an inside joke you’re lucky to be in on. Every time something popped up (like the AC being a lil funky), they just rolled with it—fixed up everything soooo quick. Food at the end was actually good (cookies = DELISH), and the juice after a hot day? I felt like I’d won a prize. Bring a hat if it’s August, it gets real toasty but the stops are spaced out nicely. Would 100% do this again with these guys.

Fun tour and super organized, but ngl, the weather was just brutal. 44C and the AC on the bus was fighting for its life. Our guide Laila kept us laughing though, and the Grand Canyon was EPIC, even if I sweated like crazy. PRO TIP: bring extra water, and don’t expect gourmet food. Still, worth it for the views!

Went with my wife and two kids (ages 8 and 12). Laila is such a LEGEND, made sure everyone was comfy and even helped my youngest with her sunhat. Bus stops had clean bathrooms (thank goodness), and the snacks at the end made my kids’ day. Not cheap, but honestly… you get what you pay for here.

Pretty solid tour, but kinda felt rushed at each stop. Our guide was nice (can’t remember his name, sorry!), but I would’ve liked more time to just chill and take in the views. Lunch was okay (sandwich was a bit soggy), but the whole thing ran on time. Good for first-timers, I guess.

I’m not usually a tour person, but this one surprised me. The stops were spaced out just right, and the group was small enough we didn’t feel like cattle. Our guide, Bob, was super chill and knew all the good photo spots. Bring your own snacks if you’re picky tho.

Decent tour. My friend and I enjoyed the guide’s stories (some were a little cheesy, but in a good way). The Canyon is as beautiful as everyone says. Warning: lots of people at the view points, so if you want empty pics, go early. Juice at the end was a nice touch!

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!

Honestly, this tour was SOOO much fun. Went with my girlfriend and we both loved the whole vibe. Our guide, Min, kept cracking jokes the whole time and even helped us find the best spot for ice cream on Nami Island (seriously, pistachio is a win). The railbike part was a bit sweaty but totally worth the views. Got a bit crowded in the afternoon though, so maybe start early if ur not into crowds. Big thumbs up!

Went solo and was a bit nervous at first but the group was super friendly. Our guide Anna explained everything really clearly, I never felt lost. The ferry to Nami Island was short but pretty packed (guess I shoulda expected that in July). Loved the shaded bike trails, but next time I’d bring more water. Def worth it for the scenery alone.

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.

A damn cool experience of seeing the canyon. We even extended our option to see the Vegas strip from the air. We had an excellent pilot and even the helicopters are very comfortable.

We are a family of five (children aged 9, 13, 14) and enjoyed the helicopter tour into the Grand Canyon very much. The team at Papillon was very professional and nice and eveything worked perfectly. Big shout out to our pilot Brian for making this such a memorable experience!

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!

Family trip (with two teens). Nami Island was crowded but magical, and we still managed to snag some good photos before it got super busy. Mt Seorak is GORGEOUS, the air felt so fresh. FYI: lots of walking/hiking involved. The guide, Jamie, was great with keeping everyone together and sharing random facts. Bus was comfy. Only minus was the line for the cable car—waited almost 40 mins. But overall, fun day.

Loved this trip! Went with my boyfriend. Nami Island was a fairytale with the cherry blossoms. Seorak hike was hard but worth it for the view. Guide was super enthusiastic.

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.
