the 1-hour tour was awesome! no doors, only adrenaline !! the pilot was very thoughtful, since we were shooting professionally. I would recommend you flight with them ! Pick up was on time and very cool. We definitely would do it again!
Loved this tour, on 2nd August. Pick up from hotel was on time and driver Paulo was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend hotel pick-up. Helicopter ride was brilliant. Pilot Anthony was really great very knowledgeable. Highly recommend an open door experience, you get so close to all the sights
