Had a great time with my fiancée for her birthday. Jesse was a great pilot & Uda was a great conversationalist. Super easy process, walk to the chopper, and flight. Super enjoyable & we had a great time. Thanks so much!

This was such an amazing experience for myself and my girlfriend. Our pilot, Uda, was super cool and awesome as well. We got to see all of the significant LA buildings and landmarks and the sunset was beautiful. Having been in a helicopter tour before, this was certainly a superior experience and we will return every time we are in LA. Thank you!
