We were so excited for this bucket list trip but also nervous. Helicopters are small. Would my 6'6 husband it ? Would he fall out ? This was such a chill experience. It is at a small private airport outside of downtown (15 minute uber). Worth every penny, and 15 minutes was just enough. The tour is great, the pilot is experienced (our guy was on his 4000th flight with this company). I would highly recommend this! It was also really cool photo op, and they took our group of 4 photos (we booked back to back since it only fits 2-3 peeps inside with pilot).

Joel was incredibly awesome. We didn't have good weather in the beginning but he was patient and waited for the weather to get better so we could still enjoy the helicopter ride. Very knowledgeable about the city and it willing to answer questions. Definitely worth the cost.

I came to Nashville with my wonderful mother as this city has been a "bucket list" item for both of us. We had a great experience with Helistar. Justin and Grant were awesome and made it that much better. Would definitely recommend. I will be coming back to do this again when I return to Nashville.

My date and myself were very excited to take this tour. The day we were going to go, there was a chance of rain during our scheduled time so we were informed that they wanted up conduct the tour at an earlier time. We agreed on an earlier time and changed our plans to accommodate. Upon arrival at the location, all gates were closed to the address and as we were looking the company called us to inform us that there was too much fog on the runway and the airport would not allow the helicopter to take off. Mind you, we’re sitting next to the airport looking at the clear runway and sky. We were offered a refund which we took. It has been over two weeks and no refund was given, and now they argue that they weren’t the ones who canceled so they aren’t at fault. This is unacceptable considering we were planning on doing the helicopter tour the next time we visited the city.

It looks like you were another passenger on the same tour as the previous review (adjadjay) so allow me again to apologize for the inconvenience in not being able to experience the helicopter ride. The gates around the airport remain locked per TSA requirements for obvious reasons but the adjacent parking lot and our office was open. The weather was below our minimums and we hold ourselves to strict restrictions for your safety. Although you could see the runway, there was a bank of fog rapidly approaching from the west that would have obscured the heliport after the tour. As for the refund, you purchased your tickets through a third party called Viator. From our end, your tour has cancelled and a full refund was issued on 01/07/2023. I reached out to Viator’s customer service representative to push this through and ensure a full refund is returned to you immediately. If you do not see a refund in your account within the next few days, please call me at (833)359-6387 and I am happy to follow up on this.

I purchased 2 ticket for a tour at 9:00 pm for Saturday 7th of January. I received a call at 3:00 asking me to move my tour to 7:45, to which I agreed. When we arrived at the place we did not have time to get out of the car and we’re told that the flight was canceled due to fog and that we would be refunded full price in 5 to 7 business days. It is now 01/19/2023 and no refunds were issued and not tour took place. Be careful with this company.

I have not get the experience nor my money back.

Received a text and email the day before our scheduled tour asking if we could change the time of our flight and in turn we’d get an extra 5 minutes. Sure! We weren’t doing anything anyway, might as well. I’m Not sure when the clock starts ticking for your time but I do know it sure isn’t when you leave the ground. Our flight might have lasted 10 minutes at the most! While the ride was neat, sure expected a little more air time since we were told we’d get extra. A little disappointing there. The staff was very friendly and the location wasn’t too hard to find.

We had an amazing time. Our pilot was Brook and he was knowledgeable & personable. He took his time and pointed out so many attractions.

Besides that, the views were fantastic and Brook gave some recommendations for dinner and places to visit.

The flight was smooth and so much fun.

Trip was cancelled 7 hours before take off, scheduled maintenance that lasts all week. Not for weather, not for safety, they just have routine scheduled maintenance all week. I paid in advance, was contacted multiple times confirming my trip that was book months in advance. Day of...sorry we scheduled maintenance all week, asked for a refund, NOPE, Contact someone else for your refund, scam if I ever did see one.

Actually not a scam, the FAA has very strict standards for every aircraft that's for hire. Every aircraft that's for hire requires a hundred hour inspection every hundred hours it flies, the FAA does this for your safety. And you probably had to contact someone else for your refund because you used a third-party booking system instead of going directly to our website just like I have to get a refund through Expedia if my Southwest flight cancels. But all in all sorry you had a bad experience, but I hope you can tell from our other reviews people enjoy the service we provide.

The reason I didn’t give it a 5 star is because I wish it was a little longer, but still was worth the money !

Levy was AMAZING! So friendly, gentle, and knowledgable of the sights of Nashville! He really made us comfortable (we are usually not fans of flying) and the ride was as smooth as can be!
Just get the tickets you wont regret it!

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
