Helicopters can only reach the smaller West Rim. If you want to go the the much larger South Rim (which I assume the OP is looking at) then you have to either go by road or plane.

Some will fly you out there and then just transport you into the park where you then just use the free HOHO buses which go around that everyone else uses, others provide their own coach tour. The former gives you more choice of where you spend your time, the other probably covers more locations, but less time at each.

Maverick, Papillion, GC Tours, Scenic etc all do various tours.

There are 3 different airports they may use, McCarran, Henderson or Boulder City.

Most of these give you around 4 hours on the ground (so realistically 3 hours to explore) which is the absolute bare minimum you would want.
