Our group of five was very happy with our choice of Maverick for a Grand Canyon helicopter tour. We were treated so well and our pilot, Don, was a great guy and a lot of fun. We all rank this as one of our Best Days Ever!

Thank you for the most amazing experience. The last few times in Vegas we debated taking a helicopter tour, but weren't sure if we should spend the money. I can tell you, it was worth every penny! From the hotel pick-up to check in, everything was done professionaly and efficiently. Special thanks to our pilot James Kelly who clearly is an expert pilot, was informative and also made us laugh. Thanks again, we may see you for a wedding package in the future.

I would just like to thank you and your staff for the Grand Canyon flight that we had with your company. Your Pilot Josh was not only very informative and passed on great detail to us all, but was very skilful in the way he handled the helicopter showing precision flying at its best. The cost of this flight at first appeared to be high however after the flight we all said the same that it was great value for money and would only be to pleased to go on another flight with your company and would recommend this to anyone that would wish a great memory that will last for a very long time.

My tour with Maverick was pure pleasure from start to finish. Everyone on your staff, from the helicopter pilot to the bus driver, was friendly and helpful and I think that the trip was even better than the description. I'm happy to recommend you to all my friends and will definitely take another tour with you the next time I return to Vegas.

Highly recommended. Thanks for a great experience.

My husband and I took the Wind Dancer tour to celebrate my 40th Birthday recently. From the moment Chelsea processed our booking to our pilot Mike bringing us back to the Maverick HQ after our Hovver Dam, Grand Canyon experience the process was utterly professional and completely amazing. Chelsea gave great insight into the logistics of the trip and even the layout of helicopter seating. Mike was absolutely brilliant, pleasant with all age groups and nationalities in the helicopter (he now knows in UK we say 'coach' not bus) and was really knowledgeable the entire trip about the geology, history and even mining trade of the area. It truly was a trip of a lifetime and Maverick should be rightly proud of its staff. Thank you for making it an unforgettable birthday. Hayley Wallbank

My husband and I took the tour with the champagne landing, totally impressed from start to finish, we loved the coach that picked us up and dropped us off all of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble. I was pretty scared at first, not a total fan of flying, but our pilot "Don" was absolutely fantastic and put me at ease and made me laugh, he absolutely made our trip. We bought the DVD which we received & watched yesterday. Brilliant from start to finish. Just wanted to say a huge big thank you, we did the tour on the last day of our holiday in Vegas and it totally made the holiday. Thank you to Don, you are lovely. We will definitely recommend Maverick Helicopter Tours in the future. Kind regards, Heather.

Thank you!
It's a company like Maverick which make amazing memories last a life time.
From the quick and effective feedback we received from Ernie, to the admin staff, friendly and accommodating.
Now! Our pilot Rich, well, he was friendly and very professional , let's not forget very safety conscious and you knew what was happening all the time. The flight was "Fantabulous" (fantastic & fabulous in one). Rich gave commentary on the history, layout of the land and interesting insights into the area. Being a lover of choppers, I found the EC130's in impeccable condition and well maintained. After the flight and on terra firma, we received our Maverick photo (which will be treasured). Donna, who was very cheerful, then transported us safely back to our hotel with a smile.
To all the guys at Maverick, thank you, you did make a difference.

Hi all at Maverick,
Hope you all had a great Christmas and best wishes for 2011.
Just wanted to say Sue and I had a great trip with Neal on my 60th Birthday. The whole experience was fabulous and Maverick looked after us very professionally the entire time from pick up to drop off. Thanks for helping us cross 2 things off the bucket list (helicopter ride and visit to Grand canyon), and for a great time!

PS as part of our holiday package we had a night flight with another company. Far less impressive, enough said!!

I wanted to say thank you to the entire staff from the person who picked us up a the hotel, to the office staff, and of course the pilot, being a private pilot myself it blew me away the diff. the helicopter made vs flying. The pilot made it fun and very educational, and you would never guess this was a daily job over and over. Thanks again for the upstanding service and fun you provided for us. See you next year.

I fly helicopters in Scotland and was given the task of arranging the Grand Canyon tour during our recent holiday in Vegas (6 of us). I chose Maverick because of their reputation within the industry and their investment in EC130 helicopters. Thankfully you didn't disappoint. We had a fantastic day from start to finish and the tour was the highlight of the holiday (and that is saying something). I would recommend you to anyone thinking of a helicopter trip whilst in Vegas. Good Luck and keep up the good work !

After comparing all the helicopter tour it was an easy decision to chose Maverick. It is no doubt we chose the right company. From the time Toby picked us up at our hotel and making us feel welcomed to our pilot Duane who I continued to call Doug making sure everyone was comfortable and he was very knowledgeable during his tour. We had the time of our lives at the breath taking grand canyon all thanks to Maverick Tours

After a long day of riding on the motor cycle we rolled into the parking lot of Maverick only to be meet with a landing helicopter I thought how cool is this. It only got better!!! We were meet with the nicest people behind the counter who we joked with while killing time for our flight. I can not remember our pilots name but he was awesome and the sights from above the canyon were unreal. It was worth every mile on the bikes from South Carolina to the canyon. Will love to do that again

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.

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!

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.

“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 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.
