    Spectacular views!
    This was a FABULOUS experience. We lucked out and were seated in one of the 3 front passenger seats. I have no idea what the views were like in the 4 back seats, but our views were spectacular! Seating is assigned based on weight and balance. This IS a pricey tour, but it was definitely worth it. In the winter, there is no access to the North rim via car, so this is the ONLY way to see that portion of the canyon while the roads are closed. Only 10% of all visitors see the north rim, so we feel privileged on multiple levels.

    Birthday gift for Hubby was a hit!
    I would definitely do the longer ride if you decide to go like we did. It is well worth it! The only thing I would say, Natalie (pilot) and her partner should have been more interactive with the group. I had questions but there wasn’t any way for me to ask because they jumped in and out of the headset. Otherwise, they were awesome! I would definitely put the mailing address on your site! Haha! That was a little crazy with multiple buildings there and the snow covering your sign! Your front desk ladies were too sweet! Everyone was great! We will definitely be back. Don’t be afraid to open that throttle and go a little faster here and there!

    Relaxing safe comfortable spectacular vistas.
    Great, safe, easy trip over the Grand Canyon. Beautiful new helicopters. Mature, responsible outfit. Been in business over 50 years. 10 minute drive south out of the park to the Grand Canyon Airport. It would be cool if the helos still flew below the rim but they stopped doing that in 1980s.

    Great experience
    Helicopter ride was amazing. Great pilots. Skywalk experience wasn't worth it. Can't take camera. Just a money grab for tourists.
    Food at Skywalk restaurant was better than expected.

    Great customer service
    I booked this helicopter tour months before our trip to the US and it was planned to be one of the highlights of our trip. We were sent the booking voucher just over 24 hours before the trip by text. A few hours later; I checked the booking and realised that I had booked from the wrong city!! We were staying in Las Vegas and the trip was starting in the Grand Canyon village. Despite being <24 hours from the trip, we were given a full refund and were able to book an alternative trip. The great customer services was very appreciated

    Grand Canyon is Magnificent!!
    Grand Canyon is grandiose as it is magnificent, (.. and that's a understatement!)! It must be viewed in person and seeing it by helicopter is by far an excellent way to capture the beauty! Papillion Helicopter tours is the way to go! Pilots and staff are friendly, helpful and informative. I will definitely be returning for another tour!!

    Grand Canyon West Rim Bus Tour
    Too long of a bus ride, yet well worth it. The mountain and desert views are amazing, rams climbing, etc.

    Very worthwhile - never enough time.
    We loved the experience. The helicopter and boat rides were good. Only complaint is we wish they were longer - went very quickly. Doing both of those did not leave us much time at the 3 other optional destinations (we managed to get to 2, but felt rushed). The meal at Guano Point was very, very good. The stop at the Hoover Damn Bridge & Lake Meade Tourist Viewing Area was worthwhile. (Highly recommend taking a separate trip and tour of the Dam itself.). Driver was fun, informative and prompt. The bus was very clean. Next time I would skip the helicopter/boat ride and spend more time at the 3 canyon viewing areas.
