We had a great time. Helicopter pilot was knowledgeable about the area we covered. We went for the doors being taken off. I recommend flying like that over doors on.

What a wonderful way to see New Orleans. The view was spectacular and I say this is a MUST!!!! It was worth it and a memorable moment for my cousin and I. We arrived early and met our pilot. He was so nice and helpful. We left to find a Walgreens and returned for our flight. Upon our returned we learned he was our pilot and we were so happy to tour with him. His information was helpful and exciting to learn.
Kristee_D, Jan 2023
I chose this for my husband’s 50th birthday. I am definitely not fond of flying but after reading a review from another person who was not crazy about flying who said it was a good experience I thought I’d give it a try. So glad I did because it was only a 10 minute flight and the pilot was really nice. We both enjoyed our 1st helicopter tour. Definitely would do again.
jodie_w, Jan 2023
I wanted to do something special for my daughters 21st birthday this was the perfect gift she’s never flown and she’s always been terrified but this was a very beautiful calming experience. We absolutely loved it and will definitely do it again. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Top notch service
