It is a great experience. The team in charge is friendly and very competent. The flying time and the route with all the different motions make for a great experience. The plane is comfortable and never gives a sense of being a risk. Then views are fantastic, overall a great experience and one that can be shared with friends or as was my case family. I strongly recommend it

So much fun to soar through the air! We had a beautiful clear day, 68 degrees. We wore vests and windbreakers, but would have been fine with a sweatshirt. Highly recommend!

The city Galveston air tour was a once in a lifetime experience. The views were spectacular from the open-air cockpit. The pilot Nathan was very informative about what we would see and gave very clear instructions beforehand. The takeoff and landing were so smooth. My wife and I had a great time. This air tour is highly recommended by both of us. Jerry L. Oct 24
