5.00We were picked up right on time by the friendly Senic Helicopter flight operator at our hotel. We were welcomed and briefed on our arrival. We flew to the mountain peek where we had bubbly 🍾 and the pilot was so kind enough to take our photos . The flight was smooth and spectacular with the view and ongoing commentary on the area . We had a lovely time at all the wineries and a very good lunch at Kinross . Our driver and guide was super friendly and helpful Would highly recommended it a lifetime opportunity not to be missed . Well done Altitude a big thumbs up 👍 🏔️
