What a fabulous experience
What a fabulous experience! We handled and flew 6 birds each plus watched a flying display of owls, Haris hawks, vultures. Brilliant keepers imparted lots of information and made the whole visit really joyful.

This was one of the best experiences I have ever done. The whole process was brilliant from the booking, to the meeting the team on site and the craic we had with the pilot during the flight. I couldn't recommend them hightly enough and I will definitely be booking a flight with them again and this time with the whole family.
Absolutely amazing experience
Absolutely amazing experience. No issues what so ever. All the staff are great and what a great job they all have including the pilot! All money for photos go to charity also which is brilliant. A very efficient an fun experience.
wonderful experience
We had such a wonderful experience with Adventure 001, and I just had to share how truly happy we were. My husband, our children, and I all enjoyed the day so much — it felt full of excitement, adventure, and those little moments you remember for a long time.
Everything was organised beautifully, the team was warm and welcoming, and the whole experience left us with genuinely lovely memories. We’re really grateful to have had the chance to enjoy a day like this together, and we’re already thinking about coming back again in the future.
Thank you for making our family day so special.
Great experience
Great experience
My 2 grandsons aged 13 and 15 had been talking about going in a helicopter and so I bought the trip for them both. They loved the experience and the staff who helped them were friendly and welcoming. They flew over liverpool and thoroughly enjoyed it.
THE BEST experience EVER!!
It was a super windy day and we weren’t sure if the experience could still take place however, our pilot Tom was absolutely amazing! The take off and landing were so smooth, you couldn’t tell there was any wind. The head sets allowed Tom to point out all the places of interest on our route over Liverpool and prevented us from hearing the rotor noise. It felt like we were in slow motion whilst in the air but Tom advised we were travelling an equivalent of around 90mph! I was expecting my stomach to be in my mouth at times with turbulence or when turning but this wasn’t the case at all - just pure pleasure from start to finish - I’d definitely recommend this experience. ❤️

Absolutely not what we paid for
This experience was most certainly not what we expected, we were sold a 3 hour falconry experience for 2 but the size of the group we had seriously let things down. The reality is that with a group size this big we barely would have had at best 30 minutes in total of individual time with the birds, the rest of the time was spent waiting for everyone else to take a turn.
Then to make it worse, the location chosen was a farm on top of a hill and fully open, this coupled with absolutely freezing wind coming across the hill meant that all the waiting around made us extremely cold. Then when we needed to use the toilet, we couldn’t as they were locked up with no access at all.
We ended up leaving half way though as did others in this group, feeling very dissatisfied with the day.
This farm had a massive barn and given that the flying was minimal why could this experience not be inside a barn meaning the weather would not affect it and then we would have had access to the toilet.
Just feels like customer satisfaction is not prioritised above making maximum profit.
I definitely will not be using your company again for any experiences.

What an amazing experience this was
What an amazing experience this was! We did originally book for June, but it has to be postponed unfortunately. However, it was well worth the wait!! When we arrived, we spoke to Nicole who informed us where to go and what to expect from the day. We were given our flight number and waited for our flight to be called. The staff explained the safety procedures in great detail and explained to us how the trip was going to work. Very clear and easy to follow instructions soon followed. Then, it was time to get on board! It was such an amazing experience! Looking over the Shropshire countryside on a cold winter morning, was something to remember! When we landed, they escorted us back safely to the reception area where we received our complimentary champagne and we were given the opportunity to purchase a souvenir photograph infront of the helicopter as well! Every single person we spoke to and dealt with, were super friendly and professional. Especially Otis, the dog! Thank you all for a truly amazing experience!
Highly recommended !
The team were welcoming and knowledgeable, the venue had easy parking and a lovely café with views of the helicopter and surrounding landscape.
Our pilot gave us a fabulous trip over the reservoirs and pointed out landmarks around them.
A very well organised day, highly recommended !

Great Flight but Experience is miss sold
This was bought for me for my 30th. We were bought the 15 minute flight with two glasses of bubbly.
The flight itself and pilot were fantastic. An amazing experience. However, this is completely miss sold as a ‘hospitable’ experience. Do not expect anything of the sort. To board and exit the helicopter, we were ushered through a side gate as opposed to walking through the lounge. When we looked to enjoy our ‘two glasses of bubbly’ we weren’t even allowed back into the entrance hall, let alone the lounge. Two mini bottles of bubbly were chucked in our direction in the car park and we were told to leave.
Please do not buy this package expecting to receive any sort hospitality. It is miss sold and is a shame as people are often bought this experience to celebrate a special occasion.
This was at Staverton (Gloucestershire Airport) - perhaps other venues are more hospitable and give you the time of day.

world of wings
We have to admit this was an absolutely dreadful experience, and what could also be described as a money-making opportunity for World of Wings.
We were advised, in advance, that the experience would commence at 09.00 and we were to arrive at the Cafe on the premises at 08.45. We arrived as advised and were told that the event wouldn't commence for 45 minutes, and to take advantage of what was being offered at the cafe, clearly a ploy to get people to spend money in the cafe. We were also told that we would probably need to share a table at the cafe due to the numbers likely to be attending. In total 32 people were booked for this event. We were split into two groups of 16 and told that 3 birds would be available for the experience. The experience consisted of standing in a semi-circle whilst the handler spoke about each bird. Each person was able to hold a bird for approx 3-4 minutes whilst the handler continued to talk. This went on for approx 2hours. There was no flying of the birds or feeding or demonstration of the birds predatory nature. It was simply just standing there listening to the handler. It was clear that interest within the group was disappearing after about 1 hour with people talking amongst themselves and losing interest in what the handler had to say. We left early after seeing two of the three birds as we felt this was such a poor experience. What compounded this further was the weather, it rained constantly throughout the event, and it was clear people were getting cold and wet. This experience, for all it was, could have been completed under the cover of shelter in the event of inclement weather rather than everyone getting soaked.
If this was just an opportunity to hold a bird for a few minutes for a photographic opportunity, which is all it was, it should have been marketed as that, not a falconry experience, which it wasn't. It was a total waste of money and time leaving us both bitterly disappointed. Even the birds didn't appear to be enjoying the experience. If they hadn't been tethered, I'm sure they'd flown off somewhere for shelter.
I believe the above is an honest reflection of what was such a truly bad experience, never to be repeated at World of Wings.

A wonderful experience with Mo from Clifton aviation. Great experience
Great day from start to finish
Great day from start to finish. On arrival it’s very clear where reception is. All the staff were friendly, helpful and professional. There is a lovely cafe in the departure area to wait before your safety briefing. Safety was simple to understand and clear and staff guided you to and from the aircraft. You can’t take selfies of yourself once you pass into the hot zone but they do sell photos of you with a proportion of the money going to the air ambulance. The airfield at Balado has an interesting history from World War Two where it used to train Polish pilots. The flight was amazing over Loch Leven, it was such a smooth flight and the pilot was great as our guide.
This was my first helicopter flight
This was my first helicopter flight, the take off and landing were so smooth and the views were amazing. All of the staff were professional, safety aware and very friendly. I would recommend this fantastic experience.

Fantastic experience learning how to fly a plane. Will definitely be coming back!
Avoid avoid avoid
Avoid avoid avoid! Once they have your money they're not very interested in making sure your experience actually happens.
I was gifted a voucher however struggled to book a space. I extended this for a year at my own cost.
This year I tried to book over a three month period however nothing was available. I'm now being told to extend again at my own expense as there were "ample dates available".
Every time you contact them you need to fill out a long form from scratch, which asks for a picture of your voucher. There's no way to have an ongoing conversation as everything comes from a no-reply email.
Absolutely terrible customer service.

We flew from Glastonbury
We flew from Glastonbury. Great scenery all around. The pilot was knowledgeable of the area.
The ground crew were friendly and the whole experience was very enjoyable.
Amazing Adventure 001 Helicopter experience
Birthday gift for my Son and my Mum went too! Voucher was easy to use and superb value for money. Fabulous helicopter flight from Barton Airport with Captain Jules! The staff were friendly, professional and would highly recommend this experience! Will definitely use Adventure 001 again!
Clay pidgeon shooting
I had a clay pidgeon shooting experience as a birthday present, it was a really great day made so by the venue and the instructor who was very patient and knowlegeable and by the end of the session i was regularly hitting the clays
All in all a great day
