The sheer view was breathtaking from the helicopter as we could see everything clearly and enjoyed the views.
Watching the city lights from above was incredible. We took a ton of pictures and already can’t wait to go again.
This helicopter tour was wonderfully fun and unique, while providing city views from a different perspective. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
