    We had a LARGE group, diverse ages and abilities, and everyone we dealt with at scenic was top notch! They were polite, they were informative, and they did their jobs extremely efficiently. The flight itself was incredible. The helicopter was clean and spacious, well maintained and felt super safe. It had beautiful panoramic windows to see in all directions. The views were breathtaking, and you felt like you were floating around in a bubble...Hands down I would recommend this to anyone, 100% a fantastic experience!

    Our helicopter tour was one spectacular view after another. Incredible vistas of Douglas Lake and the Smoky Mountains were highlights....but not the best part of the tour. The best part were the professional and pleasant people that work at Scenic and the way they took care of us. From the person that loaded us on to and off of the helicopter to our pilot the hospitality was genuinely over the top ! Our pilot was so chill and he flew and handled the helicopter like a PRO ! What a trip and what a great group of people to fly with !

    We had a chance to join a helicopter tour as part of a program day with Leadership Sevier. Our group was so warmly welcomed, the safety talks was comprehensive and assuring, and the experience itself was AWESOME. I have never ridden in a helicopter so I was sweating it, but they did such a great job to set everyone at ease for a good time. Highly recommend this as an option for a group or team building experience!

    Though this particular flight was short in duration, it still provided the experience of a copter liftoff and maneuverability. The pilot was also very friendly and open to all questions.
