Afantastic perspective of Chicago for anyone visiting or has lived here their whole life! - This is a great alternative to the river boat tour of the Chicago skyline. The Heli perspective is stunning as if you are floating in the clouds! The tour includes flying thru the skyline, over Lake Michiigan to Navy Pier, Wrigley Field, the United Center and more. Sarah, our pilot, was a true professional and should be requested if you go. I am in a wheelchair and I went with my Mother who uses a walker....they were exremely accommodating. I was able to get up into the "copter" with the help of their team. I highly recommend it!

Unforgettable Flight Over Chicago - I had the most incredible experience flying with Mason over downtown Chicago and along the shoreline. The ride was smooth from start to finish, and the views were absolutely breathtaking—Lake Michigan, the skyline, and the beaches all looked surreal from above. Mason was professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire flight feel safe and relaxed. Whether it was cruising past the iconic Willis Tower or soaring over the beach. Highly recommend booking this flight if you’re looking for a unique and memorable way to see the city. Thanks again, Mason!

Great experience - The helicopter was nice. The trip was very smooth, and the city was amazing. It would have been nice to stay over the city a little longer, but for the price, it was too short. The pilot was great, and the facility was excellent.

Pilot cancelled day of - Received a text from pilot the night before at 11 pm saying he cannot take us. This was a gift for my wife for her Birthday celebration and supposed to be a surprise that they ruined. After asking if someone else can take me he attempted to reach out to other pilots. Pilot stated his flight got cancelled last minute but not sure which flight leaves an airport that late to begin with. I HAD to reach out to pilot the next morning (the morning of) to see if there were any replacements. There were none and they couldn’t offer any other time slots besides one very late one. The one time slot they offered would have put us beyond their closing hours and I had dinner reservations at a very special restaurant that was booked a month in advance difficult to reserve, and could not cancel. I would not recommend this group if you have planned this as a gift, they ruined the surprise day for my wife. They did offer a refund after I asked for one. Don’t use this company if you plan on doing this as a special gift for someone as they are very unprofessional.
