The pilot was excellent, the tour was wonderful, but the flight wasn’t long enough, paid for 45 min was back on ground 23-28 mins. My party loved the experience (1st time up in copter).

Hi Erin, we are thrilled to hear you had an awesome experience with a great pilot to tie it all together! Thanks for sharing and we hope you have a fantastic rest of your week! Best, Kelsey

Got my GF a helicopter tour of Philly for her birthday. Sky river was extremely communicative for the entire experience, even dealing with some obstacles completely out of their control. Our pilot, Jordan, was friendly, sociable, and well a really good pilot. The ride was a lot smoother and quieter than I had anticipated, having never been on a helicopter before. We flew around downtown, over the art museum, up the Schuylkill, all the way to Conshohocken. We even got to fly over our house! The views and entire experience was awesome. Would highly recommend.

My girlfriend and I had an unbelievable time. This was my anniversary gift to her and three days later she's still thanking me.

I was a little disappointed that we couldn't fly over any part of South Philadelphia. Totally understanding of the flight ban, I wish I had just known ahead of time and not found out as we were getting on the helicopter. Because of that, as soon as we got to the city we were already flying back out. It felt more like a tour of South Jersey and a quick stop over the city. Maybe just a longer flight time would have been better. We were only up in the air about 20 minutes. Pilot was a great guide, though, and very friendly. Helicopter experience was very cool otherwise, just a little disappointing for the amount of money paid.

It went better than I expected. Your staff is delightful. Your partners are great. I will be using your services again. I've already bought a gift cert for a friend. I can't stop talking about how awesome your services are!!

The helicopter company's staff were all very nice. Our trip was rescheduled due to whether. They kept in touch via text messages.
