“I organised this flight as a treat for my wife and close friend for their 70th birthdays. None of us had been in a helicopter before so we were a little nervous. Anne-Marie was our pilot, and her professionalism and sense of humour set us at ease right away. I asked her during the trip how many times she heard the word WOW. Too many it seems!”

Enjoy a private 45-minute London Olympic helicopter tour from Redhill, flying the Thames past the Shard and central landmarks.

The best bit being, that our Surrey postcode was on the way home so practically flew over the house too! Massive thank you to Geoff who was so welcoming and got us all ready to go and then Anne-Marie who was an amazing pilot and tour guide! Thank you both 😀”
