This was our first Aerial Tour of the City. Ashley was our Pilot, She made the flight a really enjoyable experience. This was a 45 minute booking , perfect for us. We have been to Nola for years and it was so fun to see it from above. The trip was a great value considering what the other tour operators charge for the swamp tours, ect. We highly recommend this to anyone coming to Nola. We will book it again next time in town! Thanks Ashley!!!!

A pleasant location with friendly and helpful staff. Nothing was too much for them. A fantastic tour over the Lake and New Orleans with the Pilot explaining all the locations and views on our trip. A normal day turned into a Great Day.

The guide was very professional and his landing skills were superb. As for the tour, I did not enjoy it. There was no air conditioning and extremely hot. The aircraft battery was dead and the pilot had to run inside to get the cables to jump the battery. So we sat inside the aircraft sweating while patiently waiting. The aircraft was very old. I guess for my first aerial tour and the price I paid (over $300) I expected better views, AC and more comfort.

Corinne: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are all sorry to hear that you and Albert were disappointed and did not enjoy your Big Easy Aerial Tour. We apologize for the incident with the battery. Similar to an automobile battery, an aircraft battery can also unexpectedly drain. Instead of canceling or delaying your tour, we made the decision to jump start the battery, a completely safe alternative to still provide an enjoyable, on-time service. As for the temperature, it is summer in Louisiana, it’s hot. We don’t hide the fact that our aircraft are not air conditioned and recommend dressing appropriately for the weather or scheduling earlier or later in the day when the weather is slightly cooler. We do our best to make sure that is stated everywhere you can book a flight. It does cool off a little once you take off, but it’s still summer in Louisiana and it was over 90 degrees out on the day of your tour. Regarding the views, we confirmed that the tour was conducted on our standard route at 1500 ft and included all of the important landmarks and views. Our pilot mentioned your partner appeared to have thoroughly enjoyed the flight and gave our pilot gratuity at the end of the tour. Thank you,
