| - The whole company is really well represented by efficient and welcoming people. We booked the fly to the Grand Canyon south rim by airplane and we had the best time possible.
The driver who picked us up at the hotel was very nice, polite and knew his business. He told us stories about Las Vegas as we progressed to the special airport.
Once we arrived, the wait for check in was maybe 10 minutes and soon we were greeted by the pilots and walked tot the 18 seats little plane. It was hot but as soon as we were at 15000 feet, we were allowed to go about the plane to take pictures and even to go to the cockpit and take a selfie with the pilots. Scary but fun.
Throughout the whole flight the pilot pointed out things to see and facts about the Grand Canyon and its region.
Once we arrived at the airport we met Bruce, our awesome driver, and we were brought to the Heli pad for those who had a helicopter ride in the canyon. Within 5 minutes we were back to the bus and we want to the observatory area of the Grand Canyon. We had 45 minutes which was plenty for pictures and admiring the view. From there we went to bright angel lodge and had a picnic box offered by the company. It was not something I could eat as it was not vegetarian or sugar free, but I was able to get something at the local coffee shop. From there we went back to the airport. Bruce told us the history of the Grand Canyon, facts about the people living in the park and even slowed down for us to take pictures of elks along the road.
The company, at booking, had told us 5 and a half hours for the whole thing, and we took off at 2pm and walked out of our bus to the hotel at 7.30pm. Overall it is a long day and I don't suggest this for children and people with disabilities, as three is a lot of waking and many stairs to take up and down. But it was a day to remember and I look forward to return to Las Vegas and go back tot the Grand Canyon with maverick airlines.
