The first rate pilot provided a good level of detail on the San Francisco points of interest that we flew over during our journey. Flying under the Golden Gate Bridge was awesome!

We took the tour and had a fantastic trip. The highlight was being able to fly underneath the Golden Gate Bridge, as well as above it.

We had a fantastic time; it was truly one of kind experience! I live in the Bay Area and know San Francisco quite well but discovering the city from above is a totally new feeling. My parents were visiting and I wanted them to see San Francisco in a unique way. They were totally amazed and keep talking about it to this day! We had a wonderful weather, the views were spectacular and did fly under the Golden Gate Bridge - how many people can say that!! The lady pilot was awesome and very informative, and the flight was very smooth. The whole organization was perfect, great staff from pickup at the Fisherman's Wharf to getting on board. I really recommend this tour - a must-do!

Just one word - Exceptional! The whole trip was fabulous! It was my first time in an helicopter and I was a bit anxious but I didn't even feel the take-off as I was busy getting my camera ready! The pilot was very experienced, very informative on what we were flying over, and made the trip very enjoyable. The views were grandiose, seeing San Francisco from above, Alcatraz, the Pacific Ocean, Sausalito Coast, Golden Gate Bridge (and even flying under it!) was just wonderful. Very well organized and a professional team - we felt very safe and would definitely do the tour again. You haven't seen San Francisco until you see it from the sky!

This was my second time in a helicopter but definitely the best experience ever! I was at the front seat by the pilot, and seeing the city in front of you is amazing - beautiful views, clear weather, and the dive under the Golden Gate Bridge is just... well, I have no word to describe it! My wife and I enjoyed every second of this tour and this is certainly the highlight of our visit in San Francisco. I'm glad we took the longer tour, it is definitely worth it and I would love to have the chance to do it again.
