What people are saying about Chicago

A wonderful experience, thank you! We were lucky to have a perfect sunny, clear day, and a great pilot. Sara was very personable and explained things about the helicopter as well as giving us a fabulous tour over Chicago. Booking was easy and we were contacted prior to the flight with instructions on where to go and contact details.

Being on top is awesome. The flight was long 45 mins. It could have been better if the pilot will talk about the place like a tour guide and improving the audio system which was garbled.

Was a very exciting and thrilled ride...Especially with the doors off. It was a sunny day with great views of the city

Everything went great. Very nice and helpful people. Our pilot was great.

The views and the experience alone makes it worth it!
