This was the highlight of our trip! The pilot was very enjoyable, extremely knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend this tour to everyone I know that will be going to Las Vegas and is short on time! I will definitely schedule this trip the next time I am there.....

The whole experience was exceptional , they looked after us brilliantly. If i was brutally honest although i enjoyed the Skywalk it didn't have the wow factor for me and when i go again i will do the landing in the canyon trip as i think that would give you a better perspective of scale etc. Recommend this whole experience to anyone.

I went on this trip with my wife on Dec 30th. 2011. The helicopter part of the trip was great. The weather was also amazing... Bright blue skies and no clouds. The pilot was very friendly and experienced (his name was Chuck). He was giving us all sorts of additional information during the trip. He was even explaining to us what the dials on the helicopter. My wife and I were sitting in the front two seats next to the pilot and the views were great. Before landing on the Grand Canyon airport the pilot flew over the Grand Canyon for a while and that was an amazing experience._br/_ The Skywalk was a bit less amazing but it was still ok. The concept was good but the location could have been better. I haven't been to any other parts of the Grand Canyon but I am sure that there are other locations with much better views. The problem was that the skywalk was not located on the main canyon...Rather it was on a smaller branch of it. Also the drop there was not cliff like, it was more like a steep hill side. Anyway, all in all both my wife and I were pleased with the trip. It was very well organized and it was really worth it.

Totally awesome experience. Booking was easy,service was outstanding.

Review by: Stewart C	January 2012
Fantastic helicopter trip over Hoover Dam, great pilot and stunning views of the canyon. The Skywalk is stunning and gives brilliant views of the canyon and eagle rock. Only negative is the very short time you get at the Skywalk, bit rushed and not enough time to relax and take in the surroundings. Overall fantastic trip and would strongly recommend to anyone going to Vegas.

Review by: FREDERIC C	January 2012
Very cool and smart 'copter pilot. I'm sad the picture took on the skywalk doesn't look like this one, with the angle, we are barely able to see the grand canyon. The reception made some impression on us (a little too much, although I can understand why) to change the trip 10 hours before our start because with we were only two.

Review by: Sara P	November 2011
We loved this trip, it was amazing, we did everything we wanted to and didn't spend all day out there, some people say you don't have enough time on this tour but I thought it was just the right amount.

Review by: SHERRY R	November 2011
Was amazing! Would definately recommend!

every aspect of tour very good. flight great, pilot was very informative and friendly. recommend early flight to skywalk only 6 of us on giving plenty of time and space.

Review by: Brandice M	October 2011
This was a WONDERFUL adventure. We had great weather, wonderful views and a spectacular pilot. This trip was worth the cost!

Review by: rita	October 2011
loved the experience, will take my sons next year.

Review by: MARGARET C	October 2011
The view was spectacular however, it was quite apparent that the Pilot and the Guide at Skywalk were running behind schedule as our Group was rushed from start to finish. Because it was so costly, it certainly was NOT value for money.

Review by: Lynn B	October 2011
Amazing, only wish we could have longer at the skywalk. My first helicopter ride and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, would recommend this to everyone, especially if you are limited with time.

Review by: kathy w	October 2011
Thank you so much Viator for making our 'sky walk' tour another memoriable experience. Viator has never let us down. We will continue to book through Viator and urged others to do the same.

Review by: Amy D	October 2011
This trip was fantastic! Our pilot was very informative and entertaining, the views over the canyon were amazing and being ppicked up and dropped off in a limo was fantastic. Cannot recommend enough

Review by: Francine O	October 2011
Most memorable part of my trip to America.

Review by: caroline k	September 2011
It was just amazing from start to finish.I would highly recommend this trip being collected by limo straight to the helicopter pad grand canyon amazing and when we arrived to the grand canyon we were transfered by private coach to do the skywalk , we had our own guide and could skip the queues and brought straight to the sky walk. just amazing

Review by: James N	September 2011
Cancelled due to bad weather._br/_ Refund of costs received without issue which was very pleasing.

Review by: Derek S	September 2011
The organization for nthe trip was superb. From the minute the Limo picked us up at the hotel everything went as smooth as could be. The helicopter company was superb, the pilot was superb, the guide on the Skywalk was superb, and it was great to skip the lines._br/_ I thouroghly recommend this trip.

Review by: Eselwyn	September 2011
Great way to see everything, trip to the grand canyon is only 45 min

Review by: William M	August 2011
The helicopter trip was fantastic and I would rate that 5 stars on it's own. I was bitterly disappointed with the Skywalk Express. We had 40 minutes from when the helicopter landed until we had to be back to head back to Las Vegas. In the 40 minutes we were driven to the Skywalk and bypassed the queue (which was great). We were then rushed on to the Skywalk and were hijacked by the photographer to form a queue in order that our set of photographs could be taken. On completion of this we were ushered quickly off the Skywalk (we would have had 2 minutes to take in the view on our own without queuing for the photographer and getting our photographs taken). We were then taken to the gift shop to queue for our photographs. The driver of our bus was there hurrying us along telling us we only had 10 minutes. We could not even browse the gift shop because we wanted to at least get some photographs of our own of the Canyon. We never got to view the display by indigenous people or even go the restroom. When we complained to our driver he said that it was the helicopter companies who determined how long was spent at the Skywalk and that the Helicopter Company gave the least allotted time. When we complained to the Helicopter Company when we picked up our photographs and DVD the girl there blamed the bus driver until we told her that he had told us that it was the helicopter company who determined the tie spent at the Skywalk. Thoroughly disappointed with this part of the tour.

Excellent tour the only way to see the Grand Canyon.

Review by: James G	July 2011
First class service from Sundance Helicoptors,from the minute we were picked up from our hotel and taken to the Sky Walk . I would also like to say that the pilot we had, who was called Sam made us feel very relaxed and explained everything to us. The lovely picture you get taken at the Sky Walk is in a nice presentation folder. I would highly recommend this trip, it is worth every penny._br/_ I would highly recommend this trip

Review by: Fiona J	July 2011
Absolutely brilliant. We were picked up from the hotel on time in a comfortable clean limo, and the flight over the canyon was utterly fantastic. Worth getting the early morning start as the skywalk was empty and almost 'exclusive' to our group too. Seeing Vegas from the air on the trip back was a wonderful bonus to the morning. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone who is in Vegas on limited time as you get a flavour of the Canyon, experience the Skywalk - which is unlike anything else we've ever done before, and see Vegas from a perspective you wouldn't normally get.

Review by: tobyborella	July 2011
Really enjoyed this tour and because there was 6 of us we had a helicopter to ourselves. The flight was great and we really enjoyed the music and commentary. Not to mention how friendly the pilot was. Our native tour guide on the ground was also a good laugh and made our stay very enjoyable. The included photos and frames were great but be prepared for cheesy poses!!

Review by: Sarah K	July 2011
Absolutely brilliant experience. Very well organised. Only downside was that I would have liked to have spent longer at the skywalk and eagle point.

Review by: EDWARD J J	July 2011
The service was excellent from beginning to end, including the helicopter pilot and the skywalk tour guide. I would recommend this tour for anyone with limited time.

Trip was great, pilot was awesome!

Review by: Charbel C. B	June 2011
absolutly boring expensive not what we expecded not recomended .

Review by: Alireza K	June 2011
unfortunaetly I'm not satisfied at all._br/_ because the leader just forced us to move and we didn't have enogh time to enjoy our trip and even take some photos !_br/_ also the limousine works just as a taxi !_br/_ and in the return they share us with other customers in the limousine !_br/_ I'm suggesting you to add some snacks in the airport specially for the kids and also your concern might be the customer satsifaction not making money !

This tour was amazing!! Definitely recommend it!

Review by: Andrea W	May 2011
A Fantastic tour. Loved every second of it. My mother who accompanied me is 75 and so could not stand and wait in queues, with this tour we didn't have to. We really did skip the queue. The tour operators were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Would recommend to everyone

Review by: littleblondebird	May 2011
We had an excellent trip to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. The limo pick up service was an excellent touch, our helicopter pilot was fantastic - very knowledgeable and a great personality, the Skywalk VIP experience meant we didn't have to wait in line and free drinks and Skywalk photographs included (you cannot take your own camera on the skywalk).

Review by: Alexander A	May 2011
Amazing flight and impressive "skywalk" without waiting (howewer queue wasn't big). Looks a bit pricey, but it's worth it.

Review by: Denis M	May 2011
Our trio my helicopter to the Grand Canyon and sky walk was fantastic - family of five with kids aged from 7-13 loved it. We would go again tomorrow!

Review by: Christopher P	May 2011
Wow - great experience - def do again

Review by: Lucas N	May 2011
best spent money in Vegas... Great service, specialized pilot and great support from customer service

Review by: David B	April 2011
Incredible! Worth every penny. Treated like a VIP all the way. The best part was the Skip The Line portion for the Skywalk -- the line was already quite long and they don't permit many on the Skywalk at one time. We simply went around everyone and right onto the Skywalk -- then enjoyed 10 minutes or so simply viewing the Grand Canyon. Just the right amount of time. Upon return, our pilot flew right down the Old Strip, then down the length of the New Strip in Las Vegas. We took some incredible photos. This is the only way to see the Grand Canyon (and a bonus birds eye view of Vegas)!

Review by: mk	January 2011
Awesome! Limo service was on-time with courteous driver. The employees at the helicopter company were easy to work with. Our pilot (Jennifer) was great! My friend, who had ridden in helicopters before, said this was an amazingly smooth ride. The guide at the Skywalk gave us all kinds of details about the construction working withing the Native American tribe's traditions, etc. We were able to get some amazing photos taken of us on the Skywalk! Walking on that glass is pretty cool! We took some of our own photos once we were off the Skywalk. The return helicopter trip was just as amazing as the first leg. The limo drop-off was prompt and with the same courteous driver. Everything went smoothly.

Review by: Dave A	December 2010
It was a magestical journey that actually brought tears to my wifes eyes. Pilot was awesome and it was one of those rare occasions that we realized how so very fortunate we are to be able to experience this. It is beyond words how beautiful this trip is. The BEST tour we have ever done anywhere on this beautiful earth!!! Thank you so much!!!

Review by: Nicholas S	November 2010
Fantastic trip, brilliant pilot, views of the Grand Canyon 'awesome' even though weather was dull; views coming back down over the Strip were just as good. Would have marked 5 out of 5 if limo had picked us up on time & not been an hour late ... not funny at 5.50am!

Review by: Kerry A F	November 2010
Everything about my Grand canyon tour was fantastic. The limo was on time as was the helicopter, everyone was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Review by: David R	October 2010
We were picked up from the hotel on time and the driver was excellent. We then arrived at the airport and the booking in process took a little time but it was all part of the excitement of the Grand Canyon I suppose. The helicopter flight out to the Grand Canyon was amazing and it made our visit to Las Vegas all the more enjoyable. The pilot Robert was great he kept us informed with a good narrative of the sights and history of the Hoover dam,Lake Mead and the surrounding area. We then had a bout 20 minutes on the Skywalk which I guess is long enough before we then flew back to Las Vegas with a flight down the Old Vegas and the strip. This was an amazing trip and I would recommend. David & Gayna Rouse(Kettering,England)

Review by: Paul W	September 2010
The whole day was fantastic from the limousine pick-up the flight the friendliness of all the people we met on the day made the trip even more special. Without doubt a great day out well organised. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is thinking of going to the grand canyon. Thanks

Review by: Anne D	September 2010
Thoroughy enjoyed the experience and our pilot's commentary helped enormously. flight over the Strip gave a new perspective. Would definitely recommend trip as the one to do.

Review by: James H	September 2010
What an excellent tour.Well worth taking this trip. Picked up in a limousine, then only a 5-10 minute wait at the heliport, then a helicopter ride over hoover dam en route to Grand Canyon. Skipping the line at the skywalk was perfect as quite a queue had developed when we left. The picture taken was also excellent as was the ride back to vegas which took us over the las vegas strip. An all-round excellent tour, and enough time to take plenty pictures and no waiting about at any time. Highly recommended

Review by: Julie S	August 2010
We went on the Skywalk Express Helicopter Tour on Wednesday July 28th at 7am, with Sundance Helicopters. This seemed early as the limo picked us up at 6am, but it worked out fantastically. Our pilot, Lewis Hall, was excellent he was very informative, friendly and professional. We were the first group at the skywalk which meant we had it all to ourselves. Going early also meant that the Canyon was a little cooler, which is always good. Our guide at the Canyon, Manny was very friend, told us some of the history of the area and the Skywalk and was available of any questions we had. I would highly recommend the Skywalk tour of the Canyon and feel that Sundance could not have offered a better service.

Review by: Anonymous	July 2010
The trip was okay, however, it was missing that wow factor. Also, I personally think it was a lot of money to pay. Therefore, I felt like I should have been treated better by the staff.
