Amazing views
Amazing views but being in the back seat in the middle meant I could not see a lot and take photos. My husband loved it

Good to know
We were very excited for this tour with the opportunity to see the Dubai skies. Unfortunately, the morning was overcast so visibility for pictures were difficult. The driver and staff were lovely and accommodating. We paid an extra fee to sit in the front of the helicopter thinking we were going to have the entire space and then got seated with another passenger. We then found out the other passenger did not pay ☹️. There was available seating in the back ( we felt duped). I wish they would have told us this. We may not have spent the extra money and have taken our chances at the seating arrangement. So be aware that you may get seated in the front of the helicopter without having to pay extra. Overall, it was a great experience- the pilot was very informative during our flight. We chose the 15 min flight and we were able to see all the highlights we were interested in such as the Palm and World Islands and other landmarks.

Great after a lengthy wait
There is quite a wait before flying, and you need to take photo id ( something not listed in the trip advisor details!)
However, once in the sky it is great and highly recommended!

Everything great, had panoramic seat booked and 25 minutes. Procedure professional and friendly. The photos taken by the staff at take-off landing are quite expensive. What was unacceptable was that the staff refused to order us a taxi 🚕. We had to go to the Atlantic Ocean and take one to the hotel at the taxi rank. We've never seen anything like this before
Operator response
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Es freut uns, dass Sie mit dem Ablauf und dem Service generell zufrieden waren. Wir entschuldigen uns jedoch für die Unannehmlichkeiten mit dem Taxi. Das entspricht nicht unserem Standard, und wir werden dies intern besprechen, um sicherzustellen, dass es in Zukunft besser gehandhabt wird. Wir schätzen Ihre Anmerkungen und hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen! 🌟

While the ride was great and safety was well considered, there was not much of a personal touch especially when asked for assistance post trip to book a taxi.
