I was 'crushed' both psychologically & physically 🤕😖😭😤

I was put in the one seat in the helicopter that meant taking photos was limited. This was not helped because the pilot did not interact with us hardly at all. He was very safety conscious & obviously a skilled pilot but his narration was very disappointing. I found him to be disinterested in his passengers & the sights to lookout for were gone (not helped by where I personally was seated) before I could find a gap through a window to capture them. The ground staff knew I was elderly & had a physical disability but still squeezed me in the back (right behind the tall pilot) with two adult men & a child. I will not use Viator or this helicopter company again!!!
The best first helicopter ride

Unfortunately we were disappointed with our helicopter flight. We thought that Alpine meant the landing would be on snow but it wasn’t. Not worth the $$ spent.
My helicopter tour was canceled!

The tour was cancelled at the last minute for two times due to the weather condition. I droves two round trips about 200 km at each attempt. Quite frustrating.
Overall experience underwhelming

It was the first time in a helicopter for both me and my wife. That made it exciting. But the ride itself was not exciting. The advertising promised an alpine landing, which we interpreted as landing in snow. But the landing was on a barren rock surface.
