We were very lucky with glorious weather, but even despite that it was a fantastic experience. We felt looked after, instructions were clear, and the whole event felt tailored to making sure we had a great time. Everyone we met was warm, helpful and thoughtful and our pilot gave us so much info and insight into what we were seeing, and a bit of insider knowledge about the rules of flying (esp past Gatwick!). And then even had a great lunch on site and we were reluctant to leave. Absolutely loved it and would gladly consider a repeat visit.

This was my 45th Birthday present and challenge. I am scared of height and this challenge meant a lot. But I never expected to enjoy it so much that I am looking at doing the London tour next. James welcomed us when we go there and he was amazing at putting us at ease. After doing the paperwork, we met our pilot, Chang(please excuse if I got the name wrong). He introduced us to the helicopter, told us about it and answered all my questions. The take off, trip and lading was so smooth. Our pilot was just amazing through out the whole trip. We were blessed with a beautiful day and amazing views. Can't wait to do it again. Thank you to the whole team for making this challenge, trip so nice.

What an incredible day, one I won’t forget! Our pilot Simon was fantastic. We were nervous at the start but he made us feel completely at ease that by the end I didn’t want it to end! Can’t thank all of the EBG team enough for what an amazing day this was! Can’t recommend enough
