    Incredible experience. Despite the fact that this is not cheap; you should take it with you when you are here. Super professional organization. Dot, correct, friendly. Pilot gives a very clear, not too long safety briefing. Flight is very pleasant and pilot tells during the flight what you see & where you are.
