Q & A
Q :

A :
No, the departure time is flexible and can be adjusted in consultation with the guide.
Q :
What happens if the tour is canceled due to bad weather?
A :
If the tour is canceled due to bad weather, we will provide a full refund or assist you in rescheduling the tour.
Q :
Can I bring luggage with me on the tour?
A :
No, due to limited space in the vehicle and safety concerns such as loss or theft, luggage or suitcases cannot be brought on the tour.
You can leave your luggage at the hotel bell desk and pick it up after the tour.
Q :
How much should I tip the guide?
A :
Tips are always a token of appreciation for the service provided.
Tipping the guide is entirely voluntary and depends on your satisfaction with the tour.
Las Vegas Mania recommends tipping the guide between 15% to 20% of the tour price per person.
Q :
What do people do if they don’t choose the airplane or helicopter tour options?
A :
The optional tours are scheduled during the time allocated for trekking between Mather Point and Yavapai Point at the Grand Canyon South Rim.
If you choose not to participate in the airplane or helicopter tour, you’ll have more time to enjoy trekking and taking photos at a relaxed pace in the Grand Canyon.
Q :
I'm debating between an airplane tour and a helicopter tour — what are the differences?
A :
Airplanes are primarily designed for transportation, so they fly at higher altitudes and faster speeds, offering a broad, panoramic view of the Grand Canyon from above. Helicopter tours, on the other hand, can fly between the canyons and valleys, allowing for a closer and more detailed experience of the landscape. Among all aerial tours, the helicopter tour departing from Grand Canyon South Rim Airport has received the highest customer reviews.
Q :
Where do I board if I book the small airplane or helicopter tour option?
A :
Small airplane and helicopter tours depart from Grand Canyon South Rim Airport as part of the Grand Canyon itinerary.
The airplane tour lasts approximately 45 minutes, while the helicopter tour offers a flight time of about 30 minutes.
Q :
What type of vehicle is used for transportation during the tour?
A :
The tour groups are organized based on the number of participants on the day of the tour, and the vehicles are assigned accordingly.
At Las Vegas Mania, we believe that travel should be comfortable and enjoyable. That's why we carefully select our vehicles as follows:
For groups of 4 to 5 people: 8-passenger minivan
For groups of 6 to 9 people: 12 to 15-passenger full-size van or Mercedes Sprinter van
For groups of 10 to 14 people: 15-passenger minibus with upgraded seating or 15-passenger Mercedes Sprinter van
Since the Grand Canyon tour involves long-distance travel, we prioritize comfortable seating above all else. If you check some Grand Canyon tour reviews, you'll notice that many travelers have expressed dissatisfaction with other companies that squeeze 14 passengers into standard 15-passenger full-size vans.
We are committed to making your once-in-a-lifetime trip as comfortable as possible.
Q :
What is the maximum number of people allowed per tour?
A :
The tour is conducted in groups with a maximum of 14 people per team.
