    This was an amazing experience. We were welcomed in a warm and pleasant atmosphere. The receptionist was kind! The gentleman that escorted us to the helicopter was nice and humble. Our pilot was very knowledgeable of the city of Nashville, and he was a people person very friend. He made sure we were comfortable, and ensured that we felt safe. I would recommend this tour to others. It is very beautiful at night!!! I loved it it was very romantic! If I could rate above 5 I would give them a 10.

    Smooth ride

    Gaylis_S, Apr 2026
    The pilot tailors the ride to the comfort level of the passenger, e.g., intensity of turns, rising and lowering of the helicopter, etc. I had a smooth ride which I loved!

    I came to fly and they waited ten minutes past my fly time to tell me they cancelled my tour. Gave a refund but refused to compensate for transportation to and from.

    Nashville at Night

    Response from Host, Nov 2022

    Hey if we're smooth it helps you be smooth... Glad we could add a little excitement to your night, thanks again!

    Sunset turned dark

    jessica_L, Jun 2022
    I rescheduled my original booking so that we would be able to enjoy the sunset. The helicopter rides were 40 minutes behind schedule so we unfortunately did not see the sunset and a photo opportunity because it was too dark . The host did offer us another day however we we unable to do that due to having to drive home. I was disappointed as I spent a decent amount for a specific time .

    Must do!

    Jasmine_S, Jun 2022

    A Must “To Do” tour in Nashville

    Stephanie_P, May 2022
    We have taken many helicopter tours and this one was by far one of the best we have ever experienced. Our pilot Grant, was just fantastic; he gave us so much information as we toured the city. It was a very cloudy day so we were concerned but the clouds were high and did not affect visibility at all! Overall, it was a great experience. The copter is basically for two passengers and Al was thrilled to be able to sit up front so he could record the whole experience on a video as well as hearing Gran narrate, which was greatly appreciated. Other tours were overcrowded with up to seven people in a larger helicopter but this was perfect

    A Great Surprise Anniversary Gift For Your Wife!

    This was an amazing experience. My daughter and I did this while visiting Nashville. We had so much fun, and our pilot Grant was so nice and full of information about Nashville. I will do this again in the future and recommend this to everyone. It was definitely the highlight of our trip!!

    Do it, You won't regret it.

    Sean_M, Apr 2022
    Had an absolute blast. Although it was only a short ride, it was well worth it. Neither one of us had ever been in a helicopter so everyone made the experience very comfortable.

    Enjoyable

    countrygul85, Apr 2022
    The tour was awesome. Especially seeing the city at night. This was the icing on the cake while visiting Nashville. Would definite recommend.

    Exciting

    Manuel_A, Apr 2022
    Highly recommend you take the night tour. The city lights made it very romantic. The staff was very professional and knowledgeable.

    Having a new experience

    Shanon_A, Apr 2022
    Being able to do something different with good friends I enjoyed the experience but I think 15 minutes was not really enough time

    Cool views

    LindsayLeigh_C, Apr 2022
    My husband and I loved our aerial tour of downtown Nashville. It was pretty cool to see Vanderbilt from above. The driver was knowledgeable and gave suggestions on where to go.

    Heath_P, Apr 2022
    Loved the pilot!!! We thank him for his service in the army, was a memorable experience and a check mark on my bucket list!

    Unhappy

    Hunter_T, Apr 2022
    The views weren’t bad but they did not do what the description says will happen. Did not go by downtown broadway and was only for 8 minutes not 15 like the description says. Was definitely not worth the amount of money.

    Awesome!

    Amy_L, Apr 2022
    Check in was super easy. The staff were incredibly friendly, upbeat, got us amped up for the ride. Pilot was hands down awesome! Pointing out landmarks and even mentioned his lovely wife working at the hospital. I thought that was super sweet. Highly recommend and it's worth every penny! Definitely leave a nice tip, they deserve it!

    Bucket list item checked off

    Tracy_P, Apr 2022
    Amazing experience! We loved the tour and the pilot was fantastic. It's a must do in Nashville for anyone looking for a birds eye view and unique tour.

    Amazing!!

    Beth_G, Apr 2022
    This was our first helicopter ride and this was an AWESOME experience!! Andrew was our pilot and he was wonderful. Thank you Andrew for making our first experience a long lasting memory!!

    Amazing pilot but a let down

    jusplayin24, Apr 2022
    I would have uploaded a photo however our ride was delayed so by the time it was our turn on the helicopter the photographer couldn’t even take our picture. The pilot was amazing and is the only reason why your getting 3 stars. It was just frustrating to be emailed and texted to be on time and we arrived early to only sit there and to kiss the sunset and not get our pictures taken.
