My boyfriend and I took the Wind Dancer tour in December I was really nervous about the weather, but as it turned out it was beautiful in the canyon. I was so amazed with our flight and so impressed with our pilot Tony. I knew they would give a personal narration, but I didn't know the extent. He told us facts about Boulder, Las Vegas, Meadview, and all of the surrounding areas. My boyfriend was really interested in the helicopter and Tony took time during our flight back to explain how it all works! He is an awesome pilot and tour guide and deserves a pat on the back. Thanks for an amazing trip Tony and Maverick we will be going again and recommending you to all we know.

Having just returned to the UK from my first visit to th US, I would like to tell you that the high point of the whole visit was the Wind Dancer tour to the Grand Canyon. A big thanks to Marc for a fabulous tour (and some really impressive flying!), both my son and myself thought the experience was truly amazing. I would certainly recommend your tours to anyone contemplating a visit to Las Vegas. Thanks once again and congratulations on providing such a unique experience.

Hi. Our trip was amazing from start to finish. Mike our pilot, was brilliant and he certainly knew his stuff. It was our 40th wedding anniversary the day before. We had a lovely morning upon landing we all said "shush" and listened and there was no noise at all-after the continuous buzz of Vegas!!!! And it was hot-we're glad we never went on the Tuesday as the weather changed big time.Once again thank you & we will recommend you to our friends. Good luck for the future!

Thank you for looking after our group so well. I have to say that of all the events we planned while in Vegas this was the highlight for all of them! Personally, I think it’s one of the best experiences of my life and will be recommending Maverick to anyone going to Vegas and hopefully I’ll be able to take one of your tours again on a repeat visit.

Wow. That’s all I can say. We sure had a lot of fun. Do you realize that after our great experience in Las Vegas, we drove another 4 hours to have another wonderful flight with Maverick over the Grand Canyon? Yup, all twenty of us. We look forward to working with you again! Best wishes and thank you for your professionalism.

We took an amazing helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon, with the brilliant Robert. He was absolutely excellent, his knowledge of the area was superb, he answered all of our questions (and we had a lot!) he was funny and a really nice guy. I know that all 6 of us on that flight had a great time, one of the best things we have done! Thank you thank you!!!

Glad you received my card and gratuity. It all started with you and I was pleased to say it was first class all the way. We all were newbies to Las Vegas. You made the experience one we will all remember. I will be sharing my photos with friends. I hope they will suggest your service to their friends and we can help keep Maverick Helicopters the Premier Charter service in town.

"I would like to thank our pilot Miguel who made this trip memorable for us. My husband and I think everyone should take a trip like this at least once. We have told all our friends to take this tour if they should go to Vegas."

"We experienced the Wind Dancer tour. We can now look at these trips from a different perspective relative to our sales approach with our guests. We would be remiss if we didn't mention the amazing customer service of your staff (pilots included) at all points of contact."

"My wife and I recently took a trip on one of your helicopters. It was one of those things I have always wanted to do and finally had the chance to. My wife has different dreams and flying in a helicopter was never one of those dreams. During a recent trip to Vegas I begged and pleaded for her to come with me. She very reluctantly gave in. She didn't sleep the night before we were to depart just because of the fear of getting in the helicopter. We met our pilot Ben Tippens before taking off. What a fun professional! Ben put my wife at ease right from the get-go and made the trip an incredible experience. From his knowledge of the area, to the history of the Grand Canyon/Hoover Dam, to even his iPod in-flight music, it all was fantastic. My wife and I had an incredible time and this by far was the highlight of our only visit to Vegas. Maverick has a tremendous operation going and it really made an incredible memory for my wife and I. We bought the DVD of our flight and now our kids want to go. So we have plans to come back and allow them to enjoy the experience like we did. Just a note of thanks for your part in making a great memory."

“Good day, I would simply like to say thank you for the wonderful ‘excursion’ my husband and I had November 4 — the Wind Dancer! Also, a very special thanks to John, who did an excellent job from the ‘flying’ to ‘being a great guide.’ This experience will remain in our memories for a long, long time."

“The helicopter flight was incredible—very smooth and peaceful. Your pilot, Rich, was great—he shared a lot of information with us on the trip there and back and was friendly and helpful. He definitely is an asset to your company. I liked the way you have the music scheduled so that it built to a crescendo as we entered the rim of the canyon (I think it was ‘Space Odyssey’ perhaps?). I don’t know if this was pure luck, or if you guys planned it this way, but it was put together very well."

“Our family of five enjoyed a wonderful afternoon viewing and learning about the Grand Canyon and its surroundings when we flew with Maverick. Our pilot for the tour was Iain; he was great with lots of knowledge about the region, very friendly and made us feel very comfortable as we set out on our first ever helicopter adventure. Our three young daughters (ages 8-10) had a great time and were amazed by the sights they saw and what they learned, as we were too! Thanks Maverick, the helicopters were very comfortable, Iain was fantastic and we will remember our Grand Canyon tour forever."

“I want to thank you for a wonderful time last week when I took the Wind Dancer tour after Pow Wow. The entire experience, from the time I was picked up to the time I was dropped off, was first class. You certainly have a great team of people that ensured my expectations were exceeded. I was also very fortunate with the weather, which was sensational, allowing me to capture some fabulous pictures.”

“We had an amazing time. Rick Bass, our pilot, gave one of the most interesting and colorful commentaries I've ever heard on any tour anywhere. He put things into perspective with excellent analogies and shared fascinating facts about the geology, anthropology and sociology in a personal, human way.”

“I am writing to thank you and congratulate your company on the service you provided for us during our recent trip to Las Vegas. My wife who had never flown in a helicopter before rated this trip as a fantastic experience not to be missed. The service you provide is indeed VIP. Please relay our sincere thanks to Fred, who collected us from our hotel, and to Gene, our pilot who made our trip possible. There is no doubt that this was the highlight of our trip to Vegas and made our holiday very special. I look forward to receiving the DVD of our tour, which will complete this wonderful experience.”

“We just had to send you a message saying how much we loved the tour. We booked the Wind Dancer tour and the whole experience was fantastic. It would be great if you passed on our thanks to the pilot Dave, who was superb. His friendly and relaxed approach made the first-time helicopter experience totally stress-free, and his local knowledge and informative commentary were almost as spectacular as the scenery! All in all, the Maverick tour was the highlight of our trip to Vegas and we will recommend it to everyone we know who travels there.”

“I wanted to drop you a quick e-mail to say a very big thank you for all of your help and assistance when booking our two recent tours with you. Please pass on my thanks to the two pilots who took us out. I know that we flew with Ed on the Wind Dancer tour and did the Vegas Nights flight to see the lights—the guys were great. The trips were excellent and we felt that your professionalism and the great helicopters that you use made the whole thing a great experience. Well done and thanks to all at Maverick. We will certainly be recommending you on UK websites.”
