Highlight of our trip to Lisbon
Just back from a week in Lisbon and arranged a surprise Helicopter trip for my partner’s birthday. It was the highlight of our trip. The pilot, the ground staff, admin and everyone that is part of this company are lovely. From my first contact to the day of the trip every question was answered promptly. They even arranged for us to be picked up and taken back to our hotel. Thank you so much for making this trip memorable 😊

Very good but very fast
The tour is very round, the personnel of the Lisbon helicopters showed competence and is friendly but I would like the flight to last longer, the about 15 minutes that take to leave Algés come to the bridge over the Tejo, pass to the other side of the river, make the other edge, go to the coast of Caparica and back to Algés passes very quickly

It was a nice experience but unfortunately there was a mistake with the voucher emission resulting in a shorter trip than the one purchased
