Vision Holidays

January 2015. We were picked up timely at the Southpoint Casino at 8am and shuttled to the Vision Air airport to be checked in. Everything was explained, we were weighed so they could distribute weight on the plane. Great views out of the small plane made it easy to take amazing photos just using our cell phones in airplane mode.
We purchased a few items in the gift shop and they were tagged and ready for us when we returned (gift shop closed before we got back) in a separate room. Weather was beautiful, we put our headsets on and the narration of what we were looking at and history of Vegas began. Never been to the Grand Canyon and this was absolutely breathtaking. When we landed at the GC airport, we went to an overlook for photos in a group with our guide, and then were taken together to eat our box lunch (provided) on the porch of the lodge at the South Rim.
Everything was explained by the Japanese guide Taka — timing, to stay together, when we would be leaving, etc. Very organized. English and interpretation for Asian visitors.
Lunch was a choice of sandwich, some fruit, chips and cookies, with water.
We boarded the bus and went to Mather Point where Taka took us for best photo ops again and kept track of the 17 people on the tour. The tour bus driver was excellent also and gave us extra tidbits of knowledge about the Canyon, the Mule trains, etc.
2 hours via bus (short bus rides to points) with walking in park to overlooks and taking photos. Approximately 2pm we were flown back to Vegas and shuttled back to Southpoint with a great shuttle driver. She gave us a running commentary on all she knew about Vegas (40 yrs of living there).
So the tour was from about 8am-​3pm and well worth it! The Grand Canyon from the air is absolutely stunning with the red rock, the canyons, striations in the cliff of various colors and the Colorado River was dark rust color from the red dirt. We flew over Nellis Air Base and saw the military jets lined up and great views of Vegas and other towns in the surrounding area. Hoover Dam was so impressive and the narration was filled with facts we didn’t know. Great!
Pilots were friendly, ground crew was great — all were just obviously enjoying giving the tour to people. We tipped the driver, the guide and the shuttle drivers who picked us up and returned us.
Definitely worth it!

We had such a wonderful experience with this company! I would highly highly recommend. We actually booked by a third party agency cause their price was better than booking through Vision direct but the service of Vision was spot on! The plan with smooth and the personal was very professional. A major shout out to our driver Chuck Benson who was an absolute delight! He was so knowlegable and so friendly — he went above and beyond — just made it the most memorable trip we could have hoped for — well worth every cent we paid! If you go on this trip — ask for Chuck Benson, you won’t be disappointed!!!

We didn’t actually get a chance to take the Grand Canyon day tour with Vision Air because of weather. I wanted to write a review thought because I thought how great they handled the situation. We had to wait a bit in the morning, and when the weather cleared up, we went and boarded the plan and took off. We fly for about 25 minutes and then had to turn around. We did see some great things from the air, and I’ll post some pictures. When we landed, I was expected them to say, well, we tried, sorry, no refunds. However, I was pleasantly surprised to get a full refund (or a rain check if you wanted). Was a nice about this was we actually did get to see some neat stuff while flying.
I was very impressed with this tour company and would do it again when in Vegas because I know if they can’t give us the tour because of weather, we get a full refund so there is nothing to lose, but time due to mother nature, here.

I had been to the Grand Canyon a few times by car and was not too excited to take the flight. We were picked up right on time at the MGM by a friendly Vision shuttle driver and checked in. We all had window seats and the weather was beautiful that day, no bumps, so it was easy to take photos from the aircraft (I took about 200). Flying above the Hoover Dam was awesome, but when we got over the Grand Canyon it was so beautiful I almost wanted to cry. The color of the Colorado River is so blue-​green and the canyons are every shade red, orange and purple imaginable! Seeing the Grand Canyon from the air is so amazing. We did not have much time in Las Vegas so we opted for the shorter West Rim Tour — next time I am going for the longer one. Simply amazing. Plus, I found an amazing deal with a free printable coupon on
and saved $ 65! Definitely a must-​do!
