Totally dubious.
Immediately after booking he contacted me and told me that the period I booked was not available. He asked to change the period, which I accepted. He said the tickets would be issued later.
Three days earlier I contacted him again and asked if the tickets had been issued in the meantime. From that point on, the chaos began: First he said my booking was cancelled. Five minutes later, he said no, it had not been cancelled after all, but had to be changed again.
I didn't follow up on this and instead demanded my money back, which I finally succeeded after long discussions and several emails to Tripadvisor.
Totally dubious. If you want to save yourself a headache: Get off me!

Very bad experience!! Disgusting service
No No No !!
Booked on the 24th December for a trip on the 31st December. All ok at first then 2 days later I was asked to change the time by WhatsApp! I went along no problem. Then I was asked to pay an extra AED135 when I had already done the full payment.. I also agreed to pay it as this was a surprise for my wife on our 20th Anniversary ! Then on the 29th December ( 2 days before we go on the helicopter ride) I receive a WhatsApp message that now the 31st December is fully booked !!!! Haha
. They then told me that I may change to another day but I am not here after the 2nd January so there was no more communication and I am now getting the refund back …. The one surprise I had for my wife has gone !!
Never never again with odyssey Tours !
A big no unfortunately
Thank you for nothing !

terrible service. i...
terrible service. i booked this within 12 hours not knowing i needed my passport and it was away for renewal. no help from viator or the tour operator to reschedule. Tour operator waited to 1 hour before excursion to say I 'might' be able to use emirates id. i would recommend booking direct with the actual helicopter company than go through a third party where they offer absolutely 0 help after money is took. very bad service. slow replies. no help. tour operator absolute useless to the point of almost no excistance. 600$ wasted. i contacted 20 minutes after booking woth 12 hours spare to sort the problem. absolute nothing

Amazing flight
The staff on arrival were so friendly and check in was easy. The entire flight was amazing- I just wish it was longer! At the end they showed you pictures of you boarding and leaving the helicopter. Please book this trip as you won’t be disappointed.

Helicopter Tour
Amazing views for sure, but a so so experience when it comes to waiting times and no so sure we ended up flying the whole 24 minutes we had paid for (I am pretty certain that we flew 17 minutes and paid for 24 min)...
