1.00Be prepare for a very short ride at high speeds of over 100mph. What i was expecting was a nice easy long 30min ride over the mountains away from the city. What i got was a short loop 15min around the mountains at a high speed and high altitude so you can barely see cows and have no chance on seeing any other wildlife. Also, it was just myself and daughter and they stuck me in the back seat. At 6'4" this was very unconfutable and unreasonable. I have done other adventures like this before and sat upfront with a nice slow ride for 45 min and low so you can see things. Then they take pictures of course and want $55 plus Tip and then Tip for pilot. $300 for the two of us it's just a hard pass next time. Total money grab.
Wonderful

5.00What a great staff and very clean operation. No waiting and a true great experience. It was my wife's 1st time in a chopper and she was so excited and wanted to go again. Remember cost should not be a factor for a lifetime memories. We saw a preview video and then a safety video before the actual flight.
Totally worth it!

3.00impressive views of smoky mountains national park ... mr. madrigal provided the absolute best customer service ... owner needs to greatly improve experience like allowing guests to enter facility prior to check-in time, communicating in advance to the guests exactly when check-in occurs, communicating in advance to guests when party of 4 will be split between multiple consecutive rides rather than providing family chopper or providing 2 choppers for simultaneous rides, photographer should ask rather than demand, guide having expertise of local views should be provided when pilot does not have tour guide expertise, current business model is not focused on customer satisfaction as we were left feeling like we were intruding and being accomadated with the exception of mr. madrigal who exceeded our expectations in taking care of us
Amazing!!!

5.00The views were amazing! Our pilot Gabe was great, I would recommend him for sure! He helped calm my nerves and made it a very smooth ride. I also loved the video hallway before the ride, it was such a cool video. This experience is one you don’t wanna miss!
Worth it!
