Booked a grand canyon deluxe tour for 2. [9 hours. Slightly over 2k$]. Pickup time was 615 am. The driver was late. There was no ac on the bus. There was a dozen of us at the bus. After we get to the terminal and check in they inform us we are going to depart at about 745. The terminal was very crowded. At 750 they say there will be a delay. When i asked why the lady shrugs looks around and says do you see all those people? At 0830 they then tell us everything is cancelled because of a mechanical delay. Why wasnt the first lady transparent about it? No offered compensation for the time wastage. We asked if there are any other grand canyon helicopter things today. She says the weather is bad so no. Complete lie since there were so many other groups that arrived after us who all are still being allowed to go. Refund? 5 business days. We can expedite this if you want. Umm. Yes. What the heck. That should be obvious. Shuttle to get back? I dont know. Let me check on it. Another 25 minutes of waiting around. And the driver was rude and condescending and drove us back like a 18 year old kid with a lambo. Called maverick on the way. They got us into a tour in 2 hours. Friendly. Cheaper too. Dont book papillon. Should have read the low reviews before we came :(.

Esperienza unica da fare almeno una volta nella vita; il nostro pilota Jimmi con esperienza di volo di 14 anni ci ha spiegato alla perfezione ( anche in italiano) cosa stessimo sorvolando.. il Grand Canyon poi visto così ci ha lasciato senza fiato
