The helicopter ride itself was…

The helicopter ride itself was incredible, and the views were absolutely unforgettable. The pilot explained the safety procedures, and the actual flight was smooth and exciting.

Unfortunately, the overall customer experience did not match the premium price of this excursion. From the beginning, I did not feel particularly welcomed, and communication throughout the experience was lacking. One of the biggest frustrations was the lack of clear communication about when passengers were allowed to put their legs outside the helicopter, which created unnecessary confusion and took away from what should have been a seamless experience.

For the amount paid, I expected a much higher level of professionalism, hospitality, and customer service. While the scenery and flight itself were amazing, the way the experience was handled ultimately left a bad taste in my mouth.
