A great way for a quick view of the city, and helpful to decide what else to see. - Fast and easy way to see the city sights and plan our itinerary. In town for a business trip and wanted to expand the options. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The pilot did a great job explaining and making sure both sides of the aircraft had great views. We were fortunate to have crystal clear weather on the tour, which made it that much more exciting

Old Helicopter - The guy who helped get on the helicopter was quite rude. He was reactive, probably because we took our own photos. It was a situation where I didn't have to take an extra photo for a helicopter tour that I paid for service. According to all other companies, the plane looked quite old and was uncomfortable. Anyway, the Young captain was quite talented. He was quite tolerant and helpful in the man and woman in the consultation.

Poor - The staff was very very rude. They were talking rudely and had very pathetic hospitality. The views were good but the staff interaction spoilt the entire experience. Do not recommend this.
