3.00Nice flight but less flight time than the offer made in the offer. There were 4 of us and they filled the aircraft with 2 other people so that 1 person in the group saw nothing about the flight sitting in the middle. Price vs. deceptive experience

4.00It started out rough, our flight was delayed, but they were able to reschedule for the next day. The ride was totally worth it and they accommodated us for the delay. Top notch.
Not satisfied.

2.00They made us pay 3 times 40 dollar airport races, while in the mail of TripAdvisor it started that this was included and paid.
It can be much better

3.00It's not a luxury helicopter. Rather small. My wife was in the center and has not been able to enjoy the experience. My daughter and I, going to the window, enjoyed the views. But we couldn't fit inside the five we were going. Small chairs, legs crisscrossed and crashing. The pilot didn't speak Spanish. Which I asked to be in Spanish and they told me I would be a Spanish guide.
Nothing wrong with the flight...

5.00Nothing wrong with the flight itself just 40 minutes late compared to the booked schedule and explanations in English

1.00Very disappointing. Was delayed a long time and then the whole excursion was in French, because 2 other people spoke French. However the rest of 4 only spoke English. Waste of money with all the narration in French
