What people are saying about Tusayan

On a adoré cette activité, beau survol dans un petit avion de 2x5 places avec hublot pour chacun, casque avec audio guide en français (son pas top mais ça passe !), 40 minutes de vol en tout, à 5 minutes du grand canyon donc on a eu le temps de voir le sud et le nord ! Pilote très sympa (petite photo avec lui à l’atterrissage) qui commente également le vol! Tout s’est très bien passé, avec quelques petites turbulences normales et un décollage et atterrissage parfait Vaut son prix ! Je recommande fortement !

We were actually not able to take this helicopter tour because we were infected by Covid the day before the tour was to happen. However, we received very good service in obtaining a quick refund of our payment.

Fantastic pilot providing a knowledgeable narrative. Smooth ride. So glad I did it on the first day to gain a perspective of what I was seeing on the following 4 days at the canyon. Well worth the cost.

Braydon the pilot was fun ! He made the experience even better, can’t thank him enough , it was definitely the highlight of my trip !! Can’t wait to come back and fly again with you all

This truly is a must-do when visiting the canyon. The views you get are simply magnificent and unique. We had an amazing pilot which made for a great experience.
