Fantastic Grand Canyon helicopter flight.

Great experience from start to finish. Prompt pickup, with smooth checkin. Our pilot Marcus was excellent. Thorough briefing before we left and then made every effort to ensure we had a comfortable flight. He was very personable and provided great commentary and insight to all the scenery. He also told us some interesting anecdotes and through in the odd joke to put us all at ease. Would highly recommend this company, as they add the personal touch.
