We had a great ride! The check-in process was incredibly fast, the staff was kind, and we hopped right on the helicopter--no time wasted. A shared flight can feel a little cramped, but it goes by so quickly it's not a big deal. The views were amazing and we had a great time!

We're so happy to hear you loved the experience! Our pilots do their best to narrate the tour, but their number one priority is to communicate with the Air Traffic Control tower and safety. We're sorry you felt the pilot was rushing. Our tours have a flexible duration as the speed of the helicopter can vary due to air traffic. Our pilots always ensure that the entire route is seen on all tours.
