Our Family day in the sky was absolutely perfect! There were a few nerves when we arrived but pilot answered all of our questions and guide us on an unforgettable tour, circling downtown, Navy pier, the Stadiums, Chicago River - it was incredible. If you are thinking about it, just do it! It’ll be a memory that will last a lifetime.
What an incredible experience! The helicopter ride gave us breathtaking views of the Chicago skyline, Lake Michigan, and all the iconic landmarks. The staff was friendly, professional, and made us feel safe from start to finish. It was smooth, exciting, and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique way to see Chicago!
Great experience seeing downtown Chicago from a top view. Our pilot Sara was great. Highly recommended!
We absolutely loved the ride in the helicopter, flying over downtown Chicago! What a thrilling experience! Be aware that the helicopter doesn’t have doors! You are perfectly safe and in good hands with the pilot.
We had a fantastic time, it was so cool to see the city this way! The entire team was welcoming and Steve was a wonderful pilot. 100/10 would recommend this experience.
Experience was a 10/10 definitely would return for the summer! Thank you to Matt for being such a good pilot.
We had an awesome time with Chuck. Friendly, laidback, and open to all our questions! Super fun to see the city we grew up in from this perspective.
The pilot was awesome and had great tour comments. We were about to fly really close to the buildings in downtown Chicago, over Lake Michigan, by the river and west Chicago!
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!
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!
Pilot Matt was very friendly and informative of landmarks. He handled the helicopter very well in on a windy day!
Very, very nice pilot STEVE and a very nice Trip from Schaumburg to Skyline from Chicago abd back. It was an real cool Event! THANKS
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.
Very great experience!! Definitely worth it. I’ll be back soon for another great experience. Thank you for everything
Everything! The experience of this helicopter ride in general will always be memorable. Being able to see the changing of the leaves from above. Matt's knowledge of Chicago, his kindness & patience was truly appreciated.
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.
The "Tour privado de 45 minutos en helicóptero por el horizonte de Chicago" offers an exhilarating perspective of the city. The breathtaking views of iconic skyscrapers and the shimmering lake are truly unforgettable. The pilot provides insightful commentary, enhancing the experience. It's a thrilling way to see Chicago from above, making it a perfect adventure for both locals and visitors. Highly recommended for a unique sightseeing experience!
We had a wonderful, beautiful time! Chuck, our pilot was an experienced, knowledgeable pilot! The views were spectacular! I highly recommend Heli Chicago.
Pilot cancelled one hour prior to our scheduled time. While I appreciate his concern for our safety. I was on the Uber already from the city (Chicago). The Uber driver was lovely but $200 for a ride in an Uber was not the helicopter over the city experience I was expecting. I do need to note he offered to reschedule but due to the fact I have other plans and I’m on a vacation for my Birthday my time was extremely limited. I was given a refund but my dissatisfaction and disappointment was an understatement.
This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Pilot Chuck was excellent and took us all around the Chicago skyline and over many important landmarks. His commentary was likewise outstanding. My daughter and I had a phenomenal time discovering Chicago on our trip together, but this was the definitely one of the things we'll always remember!
This was AMAZING! The highlight of my trip! Wayne and Charlotte were the best! Definitely recommend! It was such a memorable experience! A must do!
It was my wife's 81 birthday gift from me. She absolutely loved every minute of the trip around Chicago and the lake front. We also got to see Wrigley Field from the air. My grandson also accompanied us on the trip. It was special to him as he is the Chicago Cubs organist.
Amazing experience! The best way to see whole city! I’m very grateful our pilot for patient and choosing best time for flying! Definitely recommend!
Tommy is an amazing pilot. He is very skillful and friendly with great smile. We had a wonderful experience seeing Chicago in the beautiful Fall from above. We will go back again! We highly recommend Tommy to everyone! Giang Lam
The helicopter tour was amazing! Our pilot Tommy was excellent and fun. He took plenty of pictures beforehand and did a great job of pointing out areas we flew over. Highly recommend!!
It was an amazing time…..even if your scared of heights I highly recommend you still go, won’t regret it.
I like the time the instructor took to point out interesting parts of the city. The best part we’re the views of downtown Chicago!
Flying over Wriggle Field - Where many family memories were made in the stadium and now over, Go Cubs !
I booked this for my boyfriends 30th birthday and we had an amazing time. I was a little worried, with the sudden return of the Canadian wild fire smoke, that it would ruin the tour but it didn't. There was limited visibility to/from downtown but once we were downtown, we could still see everything clearly. Take off is from the Schaumburg Regional Airport. Parking is feew and there were clear signs to passengers waiting area. Went through some quick rules and then hit the tarmac for a short walk to the helicopter. As far as attire goes, I would not recommend wearing heals (was my original plan since we were going out to dinner after). It's a bit of a "climb" in (I'm 5' 1") but managable; however, for any elderly person this may be difficult. The backseat area is small so if you're claustrophobic this will probably be a problem but the from passenger seat is much more spacious and has more visibility. There is no AC but there are small windows that you can open on both sides. There are noise canceling headphones with a mic so you can still communicate with eachother. Our pilot was Chuck was great. Nice, friendly guy. Took some nice pictures of us standing outside the helicopter before the flight. Take off and landing was smooth to my surprise (compared to planes - this was my first time on a helicopter). Would I do it again? Absolutely.
We took off at least 40 min before they time slot I paid for also the noise cancellation was dead so I couldn’t really enjoy it because it was so loud I couldn’t talk to my wife or point out things I seen because the headphones was dead so we couldn’t communicate…it just felt very rushed
the pilot tommy was so cool, friendly, personal and gave us world class customer service. it’s not everyday we do something like this it may be everyday he flies, but i can’t thank him enough for being so nice to me and my 7 year old daughter the whole time. felt like family
The scenery was beautiful downtown The driver was very professional, and willing to teach anything you wanted to know during the process
This was one of the most amazing experiences of my lifeeee I loved every minute of it. I went with a friend and we were so happy with it. Steve was the sweetest !! He made sure me and my friend got a picture we liked and we thought that was so sweet. 1000/10 would recommend!!
Downtown Chicago is beautiful. Steve was very nice and help took photos of us. Would love to take another flight with him
1 of 1 experience! Hospitality from when we arrived all the way until we got off the helicopter was nothing less than stellar. Our tour guide was super informational, soft spoken guy but really put us at ease as it was our first time!
Surprised my boyfriend with this helicopter tour of the Chicago. chuck the pilot absolutely blew our expectations! Amazing hospitality, beautiful views and made for an affordable once in a lifetime experience! Thanks chuck!
This was the best experience of my life I will do this again my girl was excited on her birthday definitely recommend
Greatest experience ever the pilot was super nice and informative and made us feel safe. Very smooth flying good view amazing pilot 10/10.
The take off was an amazing thrill! Cruising through the most beautiful skyline in the world flying around the top of the Sears tower what an experience! Chuck is the man, great pilot!
Awesome flying through downtown Chicago. Super smooth flight and soft landing. Steven was our pilot that day. A memory that will last forever. Thank you.
My flight was canceled and never rescheduled. I never received a refund. No one ever contacted me back to reschedule or offer a refund.
Chuck the pilot was a personable skilled professional, he made the trip so enjoyable. I'd take this trip again.
I’m an old commercial pilot but I never had such an unforgettable experience. Real 45 minutes in between Chicago’s fantastic skyscrapers. I highly recommend that tour!
The helicopter was so cool, our pilot Sara was absolutely brilliant and showed us all the things we wanted to see and we can’t recommend her or the flight enough absolutely fantastic trip highly recommended
It was a breathtaking experience. It was my Queen's 50th Birthday present. She was so happy. We will surely be coming back for additional tours.
Shocking views of the city and definitely the most beautiful views I’ve caught in Chicago especially at night.
It turning out being so fun and amazing. I picked the perfect time slot because we caught the sunset and the moon reflection off the water. Our pilot, Steven was amazing and made the ride so smooth.
Steve is an amazing pilot and human we had a great time and this trip exceeded our expectations would highly recommend
