We were in Las Vegas last week and took the Golden Eagle Helicopter Tour. I was so impressed with the whole thing. Papillion was so organized from the hotel pick up and drop off to all the staff at the centre. Everything went very smoothly. Dave our pilot was funny,reassuring and knowledgeable. The Grand Canyon,Lake Mead and Hoover Dam views were spectacular. I will never forget this experience and highly recommend it. Amazing!

"Best way to See the Grand Canyon"

Excellent from start to finish! Our pilot Charles was great, giving us just the right amount of useful information during the flight. One person on our group was very nervous, and Charles accurately warned when there was going to be any turbulence and during this calmly talked to us about the views which helped her realise it was all perfectly normal. This trip is a must and definitely the best way to see the Grand Canyon.

Outstanding Trip, Papillon were very accomodating in booking from overseas and when we wanted to add an extra passenger to the group, they also made this seamless and the communication by email and phone was above expectation. We felt safe from the hotel pickup, initial briefing, to boarding and the Pilot (an Aussie but can't remember his name) was excellent. The actual flight and Grand Canyon experience was outstanding, definitely a memorable bucket list item and is something we would all recommend to anyone visiting Vegas, the views of the canyon and the strip and photo opps were amazing. Landing on the floor of the canyon was something special. We did the morning flight and had amazing time with no crowds, no wind, and crystal blue skies, and we only saw 1 other helicopter during the entire time. Worth mentioning, we had this same Heli Tour booked several years ago, but due to a medical emergency were unable to make the trip from Australia and Papillon were incredible with managing refunds etc. High integrity company that also provides amazing experiences!
