“Just brutally good, with highlights for Magnum fans.. - Super tour with a very experienced pilot. Since the helicopter is open, the wind is of course really moving through. So it is best to put on the jacket that Magnum provides, or put on a sweatshirt or similar, otherwise you can freeze. On the other hand, the open doors are a must for those who want to take great photos and videos.” - Reviewed on 2025-05-04
