Amazing way to see the city. However I was uncomfortable with the fact that the pilot was texting on her phone during the flight!! I was seating in the front next to her and NOT cool especially since just 2 days earlier there was that crash in DC!!!!! Also the 3 people riding with us did not speak English and talked through the headset making it impossible for us to hear the tour audio! Our pilot said nothing the entire flight I've had cab drivers that were friendlier than her.

It was an okay experience. It took an hour past my appointment period after I was supposed to be there 45 min early. So almost two hours for this. The helicopter was cramped. The headphone volume was too low to hear. I’d skip this in the future.
