The flight was amazing and the pilot was very experienced and informative. If you are interested in sight seeing the area from 1500ft or just want to know more about helicopters, this is a very affordable way to do so. The tour was done in a Robinson R44 which was comfortable for 3 guys, 2 of them being over 6ft tall. Since you are flying in an R44, stick to doing the tour on days where the wind is predictably steady. Since this was my first ride, I intentionally scheduled on a day where the weather was very agreeable.

I'm afraid of heights, but I love to fly. I have flown in all kinds of planes, took a glider ride, and a hot-air balloon ride, but there is something about a helicopter ride. The day was far from perfect (a cold, gray day in Pennsylvania), but the ride was smooth and we could see for miles it seemed. Nate, the pilot, was very knowledgeable about the area, polite and professional. He suggested taking a ride in the fall (the leaves changing would be awesome to see) with the doors off - here I thought I checked this off of my bucket list. I'll definitely be back for a fall ride.
I highly recommend taking a helicopter tour when you're in the area.
Thank you Smoketown Helicopters!

I always wanted to ride in a helicopter, so I took my 8 year old on the 20 minute tour. We arrived 15 minutes early as suggested, and we took off at our scheduled time. It was great! The pilot pointed landmarks out and answered the few questions I asked without making me feel like he answered the same question a thousand times before. My little guy loved it, he sat next to the pilot. Prices are comparable, and customer service was great. Highly recommend.

The entire flight was great. I only wish I could have piloted the aircraft...lol
I was given a 30 minute tour and I wish we could have stayed up longer. The weather was clear and we could see for miles around Lancaster County.
I highly recommend it

This was out first time ever flying and it was a great experience. The staff that was at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. They explained everything for us so that we felt very comfortable. Our pilot was very friendly and explained in detailed every step as we left and returned. As well as the whole tour and afar we would experience. It was an amazing trip and we look forward to doing it again.

We greatly enjoyed the aerial tour of the Lancaster countryside. Our pilot, Vince was very friendly and knowledgeable and really made the tour enjoyable. We luckily had a great weather day with just a slight haze. The helicopter we took seated three passengers with one in the front (our 7 yr old claimed that seat) and two back seats. It was comfortable inside the cockpit even with the heat outside. We could hear Vince clearly over the headsets as he explained some of the interesting parts of our tour. The step up into the helicopter was just fine as even our “older” parents were able to get in and out easily. We met at the airport terminal and all of the the locals were very friendly. The location is well signed so it was easy to find. We highly recommend this experience with this company.

I had an amazing time with my other half. It was our first ever helicopter ride and they made you feel safe. Our guide was very kind and answered every question we had. I would definitely recommend this place. I can’t wait to go again.

We took the see -it -all tour for our anniversary. It was a 5 star tour! Our pilot, Vince, was safe, confident, informative, and fun. It was extremely scenic and the ride was smooth and comfortable. My wife, who is susceptible to motion sickness wore sea bands and had no problems. We highly suggest This company. They were great to work with and very professional.

Great customer service and incredibly helpful and friendly staff. My girlfriend had the most amazing experience. Only complaint is it’s quite pricy for the amount of time in the air.

HI It depends on the package you purchase. I would suggest at least a 30 minute flight.
