It was an excellent journey for our family. Great view, friendly staff and professional crew team.

Our kids enjoyed the trip, had a great time. Staff are friendly, professional and informative. Super nice view and great weather too. We came a bit earlier than scheduled time, luckily we could get on board right away. No additional waiting time. We chose 10 min ride, tour 2, which is just perfect timing for us.

Bird-eye views

Bird-eye views. It was amazing. The staff were very helpful. It was very challenging to get the booking made as the flight will go ahead with a minimum of 5 people. Overall they managed to book. It was our 1st time and we enjoyed every bit of it. Definitely recommend it.

Went on a 10 min ride with my partner

Went on a 10 min ride with my partner, was exciting being on a helicopter for the first time but wasn’t that great and the quiet ride didn’t add much to the experience. An interactive experience with the pilot would have been better and longer flights would probably make it enjoyable.
