Top 10 Helicopter Tours in London, England

December 19, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

The weather was awful with fog and some rain. The flight should have been cancelled. The pilot also flew directly above the Thames rendering the front seat passenger as the only one with great views through the fog. Riding on top of the river instead of at an off-set distance made for lousy photos being too close to the subjects. The reason for the disappointment is that I found the company so easy to deal with after a forced cancellation due to illness in 2018. I was happy to return as a client.

Our flight was piloted by Chris. He was very informative and polite and took us over the Isle of White, the beach, Weymouth. The actual experience was AMAZING!! Everywhere we went he told us about it and the experience itself was amazing. I highly recommend this as it is definitely an experience you will never forget, one reason for that is that he handed me the controls and I FLEW THE PLANE! Everything was nice, chilled, very safe and easy. Overall, couldn't have been better ????

Pilots are in a rush and you are in the air for about 15 minutes. Such a disappointment. Would never recommend. Waste of money.

Private London sightseeing Helicopter tour departs from Biggin Hill airport. You will see rural English countryside gradually build up to the outskirts of the city and before you know it, you are marvelling at the extensive city before you - miles and miles of buildings and landmarks disappearing into the distance, as far as the eye can see. If that isn't enough, from your perfect view flying over the River Thames, your pilot will point out East London's great landmarks - the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral, The London Eye, Tower Bridge and the O2 Arena.

Inclusions: Helicopter ride

Exclusions: Souvenir photos (available to purchase)

Avoid. Avoid.Avoid. I booked a helicopter flight with adventure 001 . It was supposed to fly from Ardfert in Ireland. When I turned up for the flight there was a mechanical issue with the helicopter. My flight was postponed. Adventure 001 has cancelled twice more because of covid-19. I requested a refund . They said they don't give refunds and that i should rebook another flight. They want another 35 euro for the privilege. Adventure 001 are a joke. I am sure no refund policy is illegal. Stay away from them.
