Description

The sensation of gliding through the air in a high performance helicopter is second to none, which is probably why it’s long been a favoured mode of transport for the rich and famous. After an exhilarating ascent expertly executed by an experienced pilot, the views from an altitude of 1000 feet are simply breath-taking. The pilot points out all of the most famous landmarks meaning you won’t miss a thing. Just remember to take a camera for snapping some amazing shots to show family and friends back down on the ground. After landing, be treated to a cream tea each.
