My wife and I went on the Mountain Tour. We had a great time, everyone was very friendly and informative. I would highly encourage anyone to take this tour.

The staff was very friendly and helped us make the right decision for which tour to take. They were not just about collecting a higher fee, but wanted to make sure we were happy with our selection. Our pilot, Marie, was very professional and called out certain things to look for, and gave a brief history of the local area around Douglas Lake. She made the ride enjoyable and relaxing since it was my wife's first time riding in a helicopter. I would recommend Scenic Helicopter Tours for anyone, any age.

Our pilot, Jon, and assistants Raz and Raz (yes there are 2 Raz's there. Both from Denmark) and the cashier woman, sry I didn't get your name, were all great and very friendly. We opted for us 2 to have the private tour over the lake and dam, and in the Bell Longranger, that gave us lots of room. The tour was just so great. We had headphones and could talk to the pilot. He described what we were seeing all throughout.
