After my first booking was cancelled, this one went ahead to perfection. A beautiful June day with no clouds in sight. The flying was very smooth and expertly controlled by our pilot. He pointed out all the points of interest and did his best to position the helicopter to give us the best view. I highly recommend booking this trip - and don't give up if the first booking gets cancelled!!

Although it took a while to finally get the trip organised it was well worth the wait. I can honestly say it's an experience that I want to repeat we had glorious sunshine and very little wind. The setting was also wonderful. Dan the pilot was extremely polite and talked us through the trip as some areas don't look like the do from the ground. I will certainly be recommending this to anyone who hasn't been in a helicopter but also those that have as the vistas are stunning.

Very enjoyable experience - well managed. The heavy rain I believe prevented the initial plan of the route but the pilot was amiable and it all made for a very good time.
