Rip off

This is a rip off it is half the price if you call the company directly. This is unacceptable. I will be contacting them for a refund

Nice experience

Team / pilot was very nice and informative. Ride was a little short. When I purchased the tickets the description was 15-20 minutes and when we got there we were told it was 10 minutes.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!

Our helicopter tour over downtown Detroit was unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was seamless and so much fun. We added the Celebration Package, highly recommend it! It made the experience even more special. Our pilot, Hunter, was incredible, kind, funny, and an absolute pro with exceptional flying skills. He made us feel comfortable and gave us the best views of the city. Whether you’re from Detroit or visiting for the first time, this is a must-do experience! Seeing the Motor City from above was breathtaking. We’ll definitely be doing this again! 🚁✨
