Gia was an awesome tour guide and Michael was a great driver. The sights were amazing and we would very much encourage everybody to do the helicopter and boat tour. Going down into the grand canyon will get you some of the beat pictures youll have.
Jimmy and Orlando were nice and pleasant, couteus. However, at the end of the trip, we weren't dropped off to our original location but a different point. It was inconvenient for me since I wasn't familiar with the city.
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 .
Carlito made the experience so memorable and well worth it. Aside from the most memorable sites, combined with his level of area knowledge & history and overall great humor... I will never forget this trip!!!!

Everything on time and schedule, smooth trip. Tour guide were nice and clear. Even though long hours road trip but worth it. Lunch Sandwich taste good , didn't have any expectation at the beginning but it was good. There have a short break in the middle of the way at the supermarket also when you get back to Vegas, they will stop at the same supermarket that you can grab some groceries when on the way back to hotel, or a sandwich for quick dinner ! This time I went for lower antelope Canyon, will join again next time for the upper or antelope X. Highly recommended
Great experience. Beautiful landscapes to discover. The guides and bus driver were great, and took great care of us. We visited Canyon X, which may be shorter, but there are fewer people, and it's perfect for immersing yourself in the Canyon. It was truly breathtaking. Thanks to Marvin and his team. The only downside to the day was that there was no bus back to our hotel, as indicated in the activity announcement. A bus did pick us up very early in the morning, along with other guests, to send us to the checkpoint. But there was no return bus in the evening.
The trip from start to finish, the detailed explanation of Aloe, our guide, throughout the day and the tour as such in Antelope with the expert guides of the region and the facility to take the best shots on our camera.
The trip was awesome, the whether could have been a bit better (nobodys fault!). The only thing I would recommend to improve the experience, is to drop customers at the hotel where they have been picked up! We had to walk more then an hour back to our hotel from Treasure Island, which was not nice. We did not want to spend an extra doller for taxi or uber. The trip was expensive enough. So....The "last mile" could have been better to enjoy then trip 100%.
Everything was great! I'm glad we booked this tour.
I booked the pickup in the Excalibur at 5.30am, then the guy from the tour called me at 5.00am asking to go to the treasure of island before 5.30 or I would miss the tour. I had to take an Uber and then the guys from the tour were so rude with me and my wife. I showed them that I selected the pickup at the excalibur and they said, they only pickup at the Treasure, so, they said headout is offering something that is fake. I'm so disappointed with this platform, and I won't recommended it to anyone.
