Yes it's pricey ($200/ 1/2 hr) but unless you fly Heli's frequently - it's well worth the cost. Booked online and started out at the Grand Canyon Airport. Don't know how other outfits compare but Papillion handled the entire trip - from check in to check out very well. Took the 6 passenger heli and it seemed just the right... More

They book us on the sunset trip with vegas flyover and when we get there they check us in and make us wait for an hour. The van takes us out to the helicopter and then the pilot tells us we will not be landing but we still go anyway. We were landing for our wedding and photographs no landing... More

My partner and I did the four hour, Las Vegas hotel door to door, Grand Canyon helicopter tour with the landing and picnic IN the Canyon. The service provided by Papillon was fantastic. We got picked up when they said we would. Once at Boulder Airport - our tour started when they said it would. All staff we dealt with... More

We were going to book through the hotel concierge but went online and got a much better price. The experience was fabulous. We did the champagne landing tour. The guys tried to 'upgrade' us when we arrived but the tour they tried to sell us was the skywalk and as weren't interested in this it wasn't really an upgrade. I'm... More

The most spectacular way to see the Grand Canyon has to be by helicopter. We booked online prior to leaving Australia and the cost (for what we got) was very reasonable (about US$300 per person). A stretched limo pick-up and drop-off from the hotel added that extra touch. After we had watched the safety video we were taken out to... More

LOVED this !!!! Pilots were AWESOME !!! We did a plane, helicopter ride, and bus to a viewing point. We were the last group on the helicopter, so we were a little rushed coming back to the bus, but it was the tour of a lifetime !!! More

Perfectly happy to charge $110 more than their standard price due to booking through hotel concierge services. They hide behind an agency agreement to justify this. Use other operators. More

We took the North Rim tour from Tusayan. Everything was great! Upon checking in, we were shown a safety video then lead out to the awaiting helicopter. I was a little nervous about the ride, but the entire staff was so helpful and confident, it really eased me. The ride was smooth and fun, and the views were breathtaking! I... More

The whole tour was the height of professionalism. They even called me at my hotel to confirm my booking...even though I was supposed to call them!!! Everything was seamless, the limo transfer, the check-in at the airport etc. Ken was our pilot for our adventure...and he was brilliant!! A great mix of information and entertainment...and that's before you get to... More

If you dont have 6-8 hours to spend in the canyon, the Heli tour is the way to go. I had booked with Papillon a week before the tour. I was concerned actually when some of the reviews discussed about how the tours are managed. However I had an amazing time and experience with Papillon. They had the Shuttle pick... More
