Wonderful experience, an exciting helicopter ride over the rugged centre of Gran Canaria. One or two surprising but safe helicopter “stunts” added to the trip. Scenery spectacular on this island.

My wife and I learned about this type of tour many years ago and always take it whenever we travel. It is a great way to see the many sights of the city and as a mode of transportation to save on the cost of taxis! We liked this so much, we booked a two day ticket our first day in Barcelona and then booked another one day at the end of our trip and used the bus to take us to restaurants for our final meals in town. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants an overall flavor of the city.

This was absolutely amazing and I would recommend anyone to do it. The guys were brilliant. We ended up having an exclusive flight as the weather was not good on the planned day of our flight, which was an unexpected bonus. The communication from the company was excellent and they made every effort to make the trip perfect. The champagne brunch was a real treat!

We floated over the Montseny foothills of the Pyrenees on a balmy day hearing nothing but the sound of an occasional barking dog. Below us fields spread out in the valley reminiscent of a Van Gogh painting. The experience was sheer peaceful bliss. At one point we were up in the clouds, an eerie experience and a little cold. The certified operators, who speak several languages, were charming and upbeat. Aside from the trip, I found the processes of inflating the balloon and the descent to be fascinating. I would do this every day if I could!

Had a great day with a guide who was greatly knowledgeable but who we felt also enjoyed being with us and helped us with our Spanish. The restaurant was perfect. He even got us Barcelona FC tickets. I wish we had booked other tours with his firm.
