A great flight experience

Neil_G, Apr 2026
Very nice and professional group. Our pilot was fantastic and enjoyed our flight immensely. Highly recommend.

Helicraft wasn't trying very hard

Fred_B, Aug 2025
Our tour was delayed 40 min, even though we arrived 10 min early. It lasted 24 min, but 6 min of that was on the ground waiting, (the pilot started a timer when he turned on the engine). And the pilot didn't speak enough English to describe what we were seeing or answer any questions. Above all, it was a helicopter tour, which by itself is very cool. But, it was expensive for what we got and the company didn't really care, just going through the motions and giving the minimum.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hello sir, thanks for your feedback. It is still very constructive, but let me bring more details regarding your tour with us. You arrived 10 min earlier instead of 30 min as required on the boarding instructions, that is why we had to take-off 30 min after your schedule because of the Air Traffic Control regulation. Furthermore, as mentioned on Viator, duration indicated is only for planification and express the time onboard tne aircraft. You did spend 30 minutes aboard our helicopter. We remain at your entire disposal for any further considerations.

It was a great experience flying around Montreal. Nice view looking at the city from the air. I will surely do it again!

Clean vehicle pilot not...

Cynthia_K, Sep 2024
Clean vehicle pilot not to talkable. Even though it was raining it was still okay. It would have been nice to see land instead of just downtown.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hello Cynthia, Thank you for your comment. It is important for us to know what our customers think so that we can always improve our services. We have noted your comment about the pilot and will discuss this with him to enhance the experience. Please note that the trip you took is exactly the one you chose at the time of purchase: a tour of the city of Montreal. We also offer autumn color tours, which take in the countryside and mountains of the Montreal suburbs. This was not your choice. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further information. Benjamin.

Awesome!

The take off and the flying over the river. Amazing. What a wonderful experience. The pilot’s knowledge and professional responsibilities made it feel comfortable.

Lovely Adventure

Melissa_H, Jul 2024
Our pilot Titou took us for a lovely flight over Montreal, pointing out the highlights along the way. What a magical way to get a bird’s eye view of the city!

Amazing experience

Melissa_E, Jun 2024
We were talked into this by our very persuasive daughter and we’re so glad we did it! Our pilot, Melvin, was very respectful of the nervous flyer (me) and we all had a blast.

Actually was a wonderful experience and we loved it . Any time when we visit Montréal again we would love to experience this again and again

Bad

Sharof_A, Mar 2024
I upgraded to the Montréal trip when I got to the place but I had to wait 10 minutes in the air hovering a little above ground level for the all clear. Then the “30 minute” ride was like 12 minute. The pilot was good but very underwhelming experience and not worth it at all.

awesome tour and view of Montreal

Jennifer_D, Mar 2024
Super fun way to see Montréal. Smooth flying experience, knowledgeable pilot and a moment in the sky we will never forget.

Montreal Winter by air

Paul_B, Jan 2024
Amazing seeing Montreal by air in Winter. Our pilot Robin was great telling us what we were looking at and ensuring a safe and beautiful smooth ride.

Remarkable Experience

Andonaq_G, Aug 2023
Highly recommended for first-time helicopter flyers. The views are amazing, and you get a great tour of the city.

A truly great experience

Scott_J, Aug 2023
This was one of the best experiences I have had on a vacation. The weather was not quite cooperating and the operator worked with us to get into the air between the storms. While in the air, our pilot was very helpful in explaining both what we were seeing and what we were experiencing in the helicopter (the movement, the bumps, etc.) This made for an interesting and comfortable trip. Thank you!!

Hooshang_N, May 2019
Very friendly staff and pilot, try to explain how Will be tour,after that explained about the safety. We enjoyed.

Awesome Experience

Brandon_B, Jun 2018
Totally awesome time with our young pilot, Kevin, in a personalized air tour over Montreal! Small and light chopper but with huge windows and an un-beatable view of the city. It's a bit of a ride out to the airport, so it might not work if you don't have a rental car (it's a long way for Uber...). Otherwise a great time. Worth the money!

Unfortunately it was cancelled due to bad weather

araceli_b, Jan 2026
