5.00This was a 5 star experience. It helped that it was an absolutely beautiful day. Harry was the pilot and was proficient and made sure both sides of the copter got to see all points of interest and added commentary as necessary.

5.00The helicopter tour was a dream experience come true! The tour was well organised and communication about where to meet and what to expect was given in advance. Matt was our pilot and gave us a good overview of Sydney and pointed out particular areas of interest. We were briefed about health and safety beforehand and after our flight was served tea and coffee. Outstanding experience!
Amazing

5.00A fantastic experience! Great team that prepared us well for helicopter flight and beautiful scenery under a beautiful sun and blue sky that allowed us to see whales, dolphins, sea lions and admire the most beautiful beaches of Sydney. To do at least once in your life 🤩

5.00Everyone was amazingly kind, especially Lincoln. On our way from the hotel and back he told us about Sydney and was an absolute delight. The views from the helicopter were amazing. 10/10 would recommend. I highly recommend booking directly with them though. I used a third party and ended up almost having to cancel because it was a shared flight and there wasn’t enough passengers. I would have had to contact the third party to get my refund, but fortunately the staff worked with me to make it happen. Phenomenal customer service indeed.
Amazing view

5.00If you want to see the spectacular sights of Sydney from the air then this is for you. This is a great way to see Sydney and surrounding areas in 30 minutes and get some great pictures. Professional staff to make sure you’re safe and comfortable. Our initial flight had to be cancelled due to weather conditions but the people at Helitours were able to reschedule for next day which was great as we were flying back to UK the day after.
