Bring your camera, the views are spectacular! Peter was an excellent guild! He pointed out the beautiful homes of the stars!
This was amazing - completely exceeded expectations! I booked a Grand Tour (65 mins) to surprise my husband for his birthday. He loved it - we both did. The ride was smooth and with just the two of us and the pilot (Peter), we had incredible views and could ask Peter to circle back to see things again. We saw the fire damage along the Malibu coast and the incredible and heart-breaking damage from the Palisades fire. We also went over downtown LA, Dodger Stadium, Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Sign and the Greek Theater. Peter was very knowledgeable, pointing out celebrity homes as we went over Encino, Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywod. I could not say enough good things about this trip. Highly recommended!
We took our grandson for what turned out to be a spectacular tour giving us all an entirely new perspective on our home town, Los Angeles. On a very clear day, we soared over the vast San Fernando Valley after take off from easily accessible Van Nuys Airport, heading north and then west with magnificent views of the Chatsworth Rocks, the Valley's last citrus orchard and the well hidden lakes scattered across the west Valley. Flying over the Santa Monica Mountains to the coast just north of Point Dume, we viewed in the distance Santa Catalina and San Clemente islands to the south, Santa Barbara Island to the west, and Anacapa and Santa Cruz Island and Channel Islands National Park to the northwest. We then proceeded down the coast past the Malibu beaches as far as Marina Del Rey and then moved inland. Heading towards Downtown over Santa Monica, Bel Air, Westwood, the mansions of Beverly Hills and Hollywood's Sunset Strip, we circled the Downtown spires and City Hall, and then flew north for a bird's eye view of Dodger Stadium under off-season construction and the L.A. River . From there, we flew over massive Griffith Park, the Observatory and the Hollywood sign. And then back over the canyons and freeways to Van Nuys Airport. It was even better than we imagined, and Claudia in the office and Peter the pilot are a wonderful team, very easy to work with, and everything was exactly as advertised. We all gave them a 5-star rating. Worth every nickel.
Extremely professional and delightful pilot and company! I strongly recommend this tour to everyone!
