![]() We wanted something with a helicopter trip in, but my wife didn't want to commit to a full helicopter ride, so this seemed perfect. Myself and my wife went on this 'combi' tour offered by Detours (booked through Virgin Holidays Concierge) in December 2016. If I ever had the opportunity to do it again, I would do it again in a heartbeat! This once in a lifetime trip was well worth the cost and the time. It was definitely one of the most amazing experiences that we have ever had. During the 45 minute ride we were able to visit both the South and North Rims. The pilot DJ was friendly and very knowledgeable about various aspects of the canyon (geological, topographical etc). The Helicopter ride itself was spectacular. I would definitely request James again for any Detours trips that we take in the future. As a professional photographer, James also recommended locations at the South Rim from which we could get the best photographs and even graciously offered to take pictures of us himself. He suggested places to visit when we stopped in Williams on Route 66 and again when we were at the South Rim in Grand Canyon National Park. He provided interesting and on-going descriptions of the landscape and history of various sites during our travels from Las Vegas through Arizona. Our guide James was friendly and knowledgeable. There were comfort stops whenever we needed them along the way. ![]() It included a pre-ordered lunch of various choices (meat/ vegetarian) and unlimited bottled water. ![]() It was a very comfortable, well-organized 13 hour trip. We were picked up at our hotel at the stated time in a newer model Lincoln Navigator.
