The spectacular views that were gently moving by all the while moving at 120 miles per hour. Good descriptive feedback from pilot as our tour guide. Just amazing.

This truly was the highlight of our time in the Grand Canyon. No we can confidently say "We have seen the Grand Canyon"! Worth every dollar! We had originally booked for Wednesday afternoon, but the trip was cancelled due to heavy winds. This made us feel very safe, as we were slightly concerned in the morning.. Our tour was rescheduled for the next morning. Great service
